Inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Nikola Tesla and painstakingly researched by the authors, the game is steeped heavily in Victorian history and science to provide a rich role-playing experience. A Dark World - Set two hundred years in a terrifying London, after the advent of the Zombie Plague, it has taken decades for the survivors to learn to fight back, to retake what they had lost. Recalling the golden age that had come before, the Neo-Victorians set out to rebuild their shattered world. Despite the heavy cost in human life, their cities were reclaimed one by one until only the sepulchers, or plague-cities, remained under death's dominion. Though the survivors had succeeded constructing a new world on the bones of the old, it is a world rife with terrors undreamt of. What You Can Play â" In the Blighted world of Unhallowed Metropolis, there are many Callings to which players can rise to the occasion; the gritty, bounty-hunting Undertakers; the silent celibate knife-wielding Mourners; the coldly analytical Doctors; and the frightening halfblood children of the vampires, the Dhampiri. All of these Callings and more are available to play, allowing players to cut their own swath in their own way in the world. Fast Rules â" Unhallowed Metropolis follows the Eos Press model for roleplaying games â" in other words, it has rules custom-designed and play tested to emulate and enhance play in its world. Play is both gritty and fast, befitting the brutal nature of a world dominated by the Undead. Plenty to Do â" Characters in Unhallowed Metropolis can solve mysteries, fight against the unending hordes of the Undead, wheel and deal in places of power, check the infiltration of vampires into the upper classes, burn out sepulchers and try to return them to a habitable state and much more!Features â" The Unhallowed Metropolis roleplaying game includes: ⢠Amazing art â" Unhallowed Metropolis is chock-full of amazing art, whether the beautiful covers by the talented photo-sculptor George Higham; industry favorites such as Melissa Uran, Samuel Araya, and Eliza Gauger and Aron Dittbrenner; as well as talented newcomers (first seen in Weapons of the Gods!) like Trent Thynes. ⢠Point-based character build system with illustrated examples ⢠Interesting and varied character concepts to play; Mourner and Undertaker depicted above ⢠Rich and detailed content written by Jason Soles (known for Iron Kingdoms and Warmachine) and Nicci Vega (talented newcomer to the industry). ⢠Easy-to-use rules that reinforce atmosphere ⢠Large self-contained book that has all you need to play â" rules, setting and character abilities and equipment as well as culture.

Hardcover. George Higham; Samuel Araya & Others (illustrateur). An Introduction to the Unhallowed MetropolisTM Role-Playing Game Unhallowed MetropolisTM, the gas-mask chic role-playing game of Neo-Victorian horror. It has been two hundred years since first the outbreak of the Plague, when without warning the dead rose to feed on the flesh of the living. No nation was spared. Everywhere, the animates, or zombies as they came to be known by the common man, prowled the streets, killing and spreading the infection as they passed. For each victim claimed, a fresh animate rose to join the ranks of the risen. As panic and mass hysteria gripped the public, the cities were abandoned. Countless millions perished in the chaos that followed. Overnight, humanity found itself on the brink of annihilation. Seventy percent of the world's population succumbed to the Plague, secondary epidemics, or the mass starvation that followed. The year was 1905; it was the dawn of a new dark age. In the following decades, the survivors to learned to fight back and to retake what they had lost. Recalling the golden age that had come before, the Neo-Victorians set out to rebuild their shattered nation. Despite the heavy cost in human life, they reclaimed their cities one by one until only the sepulchres, or plague cities, remained under death s dominion. Though the survivors have successfully constructed a new world on the bones of the old, their world remains rife with undreamt of terrors. Launched at GenCon in August 2007, Unhallowed MetropolisTM was written and created by Jason Soles and Nicole Vega. Deeply steeped in Victorian history and science, Unhallowed Metropolis was inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Nikola Tesla. The game features an incredibly detailed setting, a fast-paced and visceral combat system, an in-depth anatomical study of variety of supernatural horrors, and rules for the creation of alchemical solutions, reanimation of the dead, and the engineering of life itself!
