Into the Odd

Description

Bastion is the only city that counts. In its industrial era, it is the smoky hub of humanity, surrounded by a world of lurking horrors and cosmic interference. The Underground extends beneath our feet and the stars loom above us.

You are an explorer, facing places too far for maps and too old for records. Your expeditions involve the bizarre, the wonderful, and the horrible. You seek riches, but also Arcana, mysterious devices with unnatural powers.

INTO THE ODD is a role-playing game of industrial horror and cosmic weirdness, light on rules and rich in flavor. This remastered new edition of INTO THE ODD revisits Chris McDowall's industrial Bastionland (Electric Bastionland), giving the original game a lavish restoration with a hardcover in imperial cloth and premium UV effect paper, colored pages, expanded content, and graphic design by Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG).

• Quick character creation - Create an explorer in minutes, grab an initial package of tasty equipment, and start your expedition.
• Minimalist rules - An ultra-light system that keeps the game moving. Combat is fast and decisive, every turn matters.
• Strange things - Monsters are horrible dangers, not adversaries to battle for sport. Arcana are weird artifacts that each possess a unique ability, ranging from opening portals to attracting bones like a magnet.
• The Iron Coral - The strange expedition site from the original game has tripled in size, now spanning three levels. The surrounding Fallen Swamp now hides four mini-dungeons in its 24 hexagons. To the north, the desperate port of Hopesend welcomes adventurous travelers wanting to venture further.
• The Expanded Stranarium - 26 pages of modules and random tables to help flesh out the world. Roll to create strange creatures, find the best shortcut to cross the city, and discover what happens when you "eat stuff."
