[Atlantis: the Second Age] Discussion and PC Creation

Skywalker · November 02, 2014, 03:03:09 PM

My campaign is at session 12. Last session, the PCs had an encounter with an ancient slumbering dragon in a "People of the Black Circle" inspired episode and a degenerate white apeman race in a "Pool of the Black One" inspired episode. It was awesome. There was a single fight or dice roll, yet the PCs feared for their very souls throughout

I have also been reading Brian Wood's Belit and Gail Simone's Red Sonja stories, and it is providing me with lots of inspiration for the female PC in the game (even if the later lacks a real S&S Howardian vibe).

To make them more accessible to newcomers than buried away in this thread, I have done a series of three reviews (one for each book): http://www.therpgsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37

And Theragraphica is now up as a PDF on DTRPG. The PDF is likely to have another round of corrections as per last KS update, but any purchaser will get the updated PDF when its available.

Ok... partially because of this thread...
Ok, because of this thread. I picked up the book yesterday.
The little bit of time I've had to go over it makes me regret not getting in on any of the kickstarter stuff.

Liking it - alot.

Curse you, Skywalker!!!!
In a nice, fashionable way, of course.

And by the by, does anyone know if the publisher supports Bricks N Mortar for pdfs?

Great stuff on this thread sold me hard on this setting. Please keep it up.

Nice. I have no regrets in persuading you buying this great RPG

Good to see copies are out there in retail stores.

And to tempt you further, Geographica and Theragraphica are even better than the core book IMO

Yeah, Skywalker's enthusiasm is infectious. Tonight I found a place that has acceptable shipping to Canada and ordered the main Atlantis rulebook, Geographica, and what the hell, throw on Hellas, too. Now, pardon me while I go buy the Theragraphica pdf.

Khepera sells its books via Amazon which has decent international shipping (though it has issues with Canada IIRC). Noble Knight Games is good value too.

Hellas is hella cool. Its even more OTT mechanically than Atlantis but it suits the OTT genre mash up

After my experience with Atlantis, I am also looking forward to the KS for the fifth and final Hellas book (also a bestiary) which should be up next.

Yeah, Amazon.com won't ship those books to Canada depending on which third party you actually buy it from, and Amazon.ca doesn't have them. I wound up getting them from Noble Knight. It was ~$100 for Atlantis, Geographica and shipping, before I added a bunch more to the order, which isn't too bad these days.

I'll have to jump on that.

I don't expect it until mid 2015 or later as Khepera wraps up Theragraphica and the now decent sized (80 pages or so) Atlantis City Guide.

Is there any connection between this game and Godsend Agenda?

It's a little derail, sorry.

Not that I am aware of. FWIW Atlanteans appear in Hellas, Atlantis and Godsend Agenda but only because they all draw on mythology, rather than there being an actual connection.

I believe Khepera's plan is to do a new edition for Godsend Agenda using the Omega System via KS after Hellas and Atlantis are complete.

@Jerry Wow. Thanks. Sent you an email.

@ Skywalker... a City book? Sweet!

It was an "extra" via the Geographica KS. However, its grown to a decent size as stated here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1269000670/atlantis-geographica-rpg-supplement/posts/980318. Its not confirmed whether this will be a POD, but given the Hero's Guide did exactly the same thing and should be up as POD too, I expect it will be.

As with everything in Atlantis, the city map is gorgeous:

I would love to see that.
