Gavriel Quiroga HELL NIGHT: Limited Kickstarter Edition (incl. PDF)
A doom biker RPG rule-artbook inspired by badass metal covers and the spirit of a strange decade, where being cool matters more than being good, and the way your hair looks while riding that badass chopper is a powerful statement worth risking brain damage.
Hell, the dimension of pain and spiritual atonement, has suffered an insurrection. Its ruler has gone missing, and the domain is convulsed by the inefficacy of a headless hierarchy. A few Archons, powerful demons who rule over the Circles, have escaped their obligations and are wreaking havoc on Earth. Now, a celestial herald from the cohorts of Heaven has come with an ultimatum: ¨You have until dawn to remove the deserters from the realm of man, or else we will storm your gates.¨
It is your solemn duty to hunt down these dangerous, demonic fugitives. Gather your unholy arms, armor, and cursed relics; the fate of cosmic balance lies in your hands. An infernal choir has been summoned to honor your quest and bid farewell as you blaze through the gates of torment on your thundering Hellride.
Your strength is as great as your determination, as the fire that consumes your rage. Welcome to Hell Night.
BLACK COMEDY, characters will be infernal denizens riding biomechanical hellbikes dealing with the most extreme version of the consumerism VHS era. The game will include quirky characters, hilarious random tables and original mechanics which break the fourth wall and give you the feeling of playing within a cheesy Hollywood flick.
ULTRA VIOLENCE, designed for one shots or small arch storylines, the setting and mechanics promote all the gore and mutilation scenes which pay tribute to our most beloved horror genre and its cult movies. The book will include gruesome critical hit tables, wicked high-fantasy weaponry and infernal dark powers.
A DEEP LORE, because we believe that presenting awesome aesthetics and mechanics is not enough the game will feature an original Lore that is interesting and designed to grow and change with the players involvement plus a cosmology which is engaging without being cumbersome to the reader. Hell is turning itself apart due to a leaderless hierarchy, rebel demons are escaping to Earth, the Celestial are threatening war while their angels fall unto the mortal realm assaulted by doubt and disbelief, mortal warlocks are succumbing evermore to promises of power and Elder Gods from a bygone age are stiring anxiously waiting for an opportunity to seize reality itself again.
Hell Night is influenced by Mandy from Panos Cosmatos, Sandman by Neil Gaiman, the works of Hunter S. Thompson and all the cool, badass metal cover albums you can think of.
