Dead World

Desecrated Empires is the ultimate RPG experience and must-have book for lovers of dark fantasy world-building. Set in the twisted and foreboding universe of Dead World, Desecrated Empires allows you to craft taut and immersive narrative experiences using its unique, strategic rules-system. The "Era of Empires" story-arc, characterised by blood and betrayal, introduces a sophisticated "Competitive Team Play" model that will unleash the full cathartic power of your role-play campaigns. Take control of an adventurer and create your own unique legend, build a campaign as a Game Master using Desecrated Empires' omnifarious world-building toolkit, or utilise the special mechanics and tactical nuance of Desecrated Empires' combat to command armies, build empires, form rebellions, lay sieges, and wage cataclysmic wars in a mythical world.


Features:

• 12 Races (including esoteric or maligned races, such as Featherfolk, Plantfolk, and Undead); each Race has multiple unique origins that create further variation
• 14 unique Classes, each of which offers a radically different style of play, from classic brute Warriors to masters of manipulation such as Illusionists
• Every Class can choose one of two paths, empowering players with even more choice, and meaning there are 200+ potential adventurer Race/Class combinations
• A progressive Skills system that allows adventurers to learn further crafts outside of their Class, including Blacksmithing, Alchemy, and Arcana; these aren't static but also progress as you level and learn.
• A unique combat system that eschews the clumsier elements of role-play combat in favour of more strategic and tactical gameplay; imagine the precision of an RTS game inserted into a world full of lore and epic stories.
• A Bestiary & Diseasary with 100+ entries, each with beautiful descriptions and in-depth mechanics, including many monsters and characters entirely unique to Dead World's strange universe.
• Detailed lore-descriptions of every item, from the humble "Rope" to legendary artefacts such as the "Bloodthirst Cowl"!
• With succinct and precise rules-wording, get your Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual all in one explosive volume! No need to buy multiple books.
