Richardson Games OUTWORLDER Rulebook

15.00

THE WORLD OF KRULL is dying. All across its lands, the Black Fortress appears — that Great Devourer of Planets. Sometimes in the mountains, sometimes in the desert . . . but never the same place twice. Within its depths rules The Beast — a wicked Outworlder from beyond Krull — and spilling forth are His army of Slayers to maraud & conquer. Smoke of burning villages now darkens the sky, and the cries of the dying echo through deserted valleys.

Designed by Henry M. Richardson

"This is the good stuff, folks. As with all things Krull, I love that this exists. It is just such a specific thing for specific people (like me, I guess) and it does what it does extremely well. Namely, channel the core awesomeness of the movie into a pretty light RPG that builds on and expands the core premise. Which is impressive, considering it is 24 pages.
Key mechanical thing of interest is the GM, called the Seer. In the movie, several attempts are made by seers to detect the machination of the titular outworlder, the world-devouring Beast, and the results direct the action of the heroes, so it makes sense to cast them as the GM. But unlike most games, the Seer acts both as a traditional GM and as a character in the story, using their powers to help direct the players. Their attempts to discern puts them in conflict with the Beast, a villain that they, as GM, do not have complete control over (!). Depending on the power of the Seer, which changes due to in-game events, and the overall attention the players have attracted from the Beast, the Beast can attempt to blind the seer or actively harm (or, perversely, bestow gifts to) the players. It is an extremely exciting mechanic."
