Worlds of the West

RPG system: The Strange
Participants: 5 players

By

✏️Henrik Lerdahl

Description

The Agency is a secret group that exists to monitor and regulate travel between earth and the alternate realities known as "Recursions", most of which are originally born from fictions and stories leaking into the cosmos.
The players are a team of field operatives working for The Agency, who have the ability to travel between realities, a process which "translates" them so they fit into the new setting. This makes their powers and thir character sheet change according to what dimension they are in, as they go from world to world, and genre to genre.
But when the worlds of human fiction come alive, there's an awful lot of villains and monsters that suddenly exist as well, and they might also develop their own ambitions and plans...
Whether riding with the Lone Ranger or fleeing from the orc-hordes of Sauron, whether playing Quidditch or commanding the starship Enterprise, whether reading the Necronomicon or battling with Hercules and Achilles, "The Strange" is the game that has it all. Sometimes, all in the same game session.
("The Strange" uses the Cypher System, which are more or less the same mechanics as in the game "Numenera")
