Choir of Flesh is now live on Kickstarter!

Hello, everyone! The day has come: Choir of Flesh is upon us! Please consider backing the Kickstarter if you enjoy my work, I'm really happy of how this one turned out. I'm trying a few original ideas and it's a pretty complete system, with gorgeous art and cool gameplay.

Choir of Flesh is not a game of high fantasy heroes saving the world. It’s a game of desperate survival. You will scavenge, lay low, and maybe even become stronger, but the dying world will make sure you are always afraid.

• The Twin Apocalypses: You will face off against two distinct threats: the zealous Servants of the Choir and the monstrous Creatures of the Flesh That Feeds. Each presents its own unique challenges and horrors, with little hope left from the few thousand human survivors that roam what used to be the Kingdom of the Franks.

• Core Mechanics:Choir of Flesh uses a player-facing, D20 system. When you attempt a task, you roll a D20, add your relevant Attribute modifier, and try to beat a Target Number (TN). The TN can be a static value or a dynamic one that adapts to your character's power level, ensuring a constant challenge. This simple, elegant system keeps the focus on the story and the horrors you face.

• Character Creation: Your character's initial attributes are determined by rolling 4D6 and dropping the lowest result. You start with a single Feat, but you can gain additional ones by taking Drawbacks, which are permanent disadvantages that provide unique storytelling opportunities, and a wide selection of Skills makes sure you can personalize your character further. Each character has a unique Sin, Shard, Doom, and Occupation, giving them a rich history and a clear role in the game from the start.

• Settlement Management: Even during the end of the world, you are not always alone. It has fallen upon you to take care of a small community of survivors, and they look up to you to solve their problems, grow it, and make it a safe haven for those that need it.

• Tactical Combat: Using a small 5-by-5 square grid, fights are both intensely brutal and fast, never lasting more than 15 minutes. Furthermore, a unique Injury system gets rid of Hit Points, and the more injured you are, the easier you are to hit, but so are your enemies! 

• Limitless Replayability: Random exploration via pointcrawls and incursions, unpredictable corrupted areas, and dynamic encounters ensure that no two playthroughs are ever the same.

• Solo & Co-Op Play: Dive into the adventure alone or team up with friends! Choir of Flesh provides all the necessary oracles and random tables to facilitate GM-less play.

• GM Support: Is this your first time running a grimdark RPG? Don't worry, the extensive tools and advice found in the book will ensure you will be able to direct your players towards their untimely death with aplomb.
