Kickstarter Games - Awaken

Black Rune spotted this Kickstarter for tabletop fans - Awaken:

In a ravaged land, you choose your destiny as a Vasalli, mighty heroes with a seed of darkness in their hearts.

We are proud to present Awaken, a tabletop roleplaying game set in a dark, war-ravaged fantasy world heavily influenced by Slavic and Mediterranean folklore, where the forgotten mythologies have resurfaced as Vasalli, powerful humans gifted with abilities capable of changing the course of history.

▼ Dark times have arrived for the denizens of the Alliance. Their trusted Colossi, guardians of the Great Cities, are slowly dying out. The monstrous Vargans, who once caused a war that nearly devastated the continent, still hide in the shadows of the underground. At the same time, strange nations from the North continue their incursions at a faster clip, all while the lords and leaders of the Alliance bicker over petty politics.

 ▼ In such desperate times, the only possible torchbearers are the Vasalli, gifted people spoken of by the old mythologies. But can they bear the burden of being the protectors of humanity, or will they allow themselves to be corrupted by power and succumb to the darkness that delves in every heart?

Experience a story-driven game that emphasizes player interaction, immersive mood, and narration.

Play as Vasalli, powerful beings destined for greatness, and discover the secrets of your lineage—and your fate. 

Enjoy the intuitive and light rules, which help you tell a story rather than burden you down. 

Download the Quickstart Guide; a short and light version of the full rules. Inside you'll find the premade characters and a short adventure called "The Liborian Incident" -  everything you need to taste the world of Awaken!
