Description

From publisher blurb:

The Icons of Scourge is a system neutral compendium about seven alternative religious icons for use with RPGs. Preferably these works best in the context of fantasy, or comparative settings with similarities to European medieval to early 18th century technology and culture. Each icon comes with an introductionary text and eight categories of D6 tables, that can be used as starting points or inspiration for your own adventure.

What are the Seven Icons of Scourge?

The Icons of Scourge are each one an indestructible artifact about the size of an open hand and made of a painted wood-like material. Every icon represents a unique phenomenon or philosophical theme and have the ability to metaphysically change reality around themselves, according to each one’s inherent nature. It has no consciousness, therefore no will by itself and should not be considered evil nor good. It exists beyond morality as the literal manifestation of an idea, with a preprogrammed function that it executes without reflection.

Buy The Icons of Scourge if you are interested to incorporate an object that breaks down and reforms reality without any form of malice, but that still should be considered being very dangerous.

A few of the descriptions contained in this compendium could be considered unsettling for some, but nothing out of the ordinary if you are used to horror games.

Includes seven illustrated icons:

The Icon of the Saint of Brinish Pestilence
The Icon of the Saint of Disintegrated Dust
The Icon of the Saint of Disoriented Imprisonment
The Icon of the Saint of Fertile Worms
The Icon of the Saint of Mycelial Blight
The Icon of the Saint of Putrefied Adipocere
The Icon of the The Messiah of the Monolith

Each comes with eight D6 tables: Starting Location, Introducing the Icon, Phase 1, 2, 3, Lair of the Icon, Guardian of the Icon and Deterring the Icon.
