The Monster Mosaic

RPG system: Fate Core- The Monster Mosaic
Participants: 6+

Description

62 years ago the world changed. A virus, or something like it, swept the globe. It turned plants and beasts into monsters and caused labyrinthine dungeons to erupt from the very earth we stand on. Even fire was affected somehow, dampening in waves. It is like something is changing the very rules of science. Some say it’s the apocalypse, some say magic is coming back, whatever it is, it’s certainly deadly.
But humanity is strong. We bend and do not break. Regular cars no longer work? We have electric ones. That gun you needed to take out the Mosaic-wolf that’s eating your cows no longer reliable? Well, crossbows still work. Fire won't burn that Mosaic-bramble? Well, acid will. Someone is needed to take out that Labyrinth that suddenly grew in the parking lot? Well, create an organization of warrior-scientist dedicated to finding the cause of the virus and destroy it wherever it is a danger to humanity. That organization is EMBERS (European Mosaicvirus Barrier, Eradication, and Research Society) and after seven (or more) long years of training you are finally becoming a full member. This is your first mission.

The adventure is pretty much a pure dungeon crawl in a world where electricity and smartphones still exist. Inspired by "Dies the fire", the "Kate Daniels" series, various litRPG and manga that runs on videogame logic.
We will be creating characters in-game (although I have some pre-gens for those who prefer them) You don't need to know any rules, fate is a really simple system based more on description and storytelling than numbers and rules-crunch. We use 4 fudge dice (the 6-sided ones with plusses and minuses and blanks), but you can use regular dice as a substitute. I'll also bring some extras. I wrote the adventure in English, but we can play in Norwegian if that is preferable.
Email me if you want to GM and I'll get you my notes and maps, but they're written mostly in key-word form. You may need to improvise.

Eventyret er ganske ren dungeoncrawl i en verden som fortsatt har elektrisitet og mobiltelefoner. Inspirert av "Dies the fire", Kate Daniels serien, diverse LitRPG bøker og manga som bruker videospills-logikk.
Vi lager karakterer i spill (jeg har også ferdiglaget til de som ikke vil lage egen) Du trenger ikke kunne regler fra før, Fate er et meget enkelt system basert mer på beskrivelser og fortelling enn tall og regelcrunch. Vi bruker 4 fudge terninger (de seks-sidige med plusser, minueser og blanke sider), men vanlige seks-sidige kan subsituere. Jeg tar også med noen ekstra. Jeg skrev eventyret på Engelsk, men vi kan sikkert spille på Norsk hvis folk foretrekker det.
Send meg en epost hvis du vil GMe så kan jeg sende deg kartene og notatene mine, men de er mest i stikkordsform, så det kan være du må improvisere litt.
