Shadows of Esteren - Book 3 - Dearg (part 1)

Bonhomie Games is a proud Kickstarter backer of this indie Medieval Gothic Fantasy RPG from Studio Agate

This book presents the first part of Dearg, Shadows of Esteren's sprawling campaign.  A tragic, romantic epic with the Characters at the heart of the story.

Part One: Roots

Part One gathers the game aids concerning the Vale of Dearg, covers the Advanced Character Creation system and goes of the workings of the new story mechanic: Focuses

Part Two: Resurgences

Part Two introduces four Focuses, each of which deals with one of Dearg's four main Narrative Arcs: Love, Ethics, Adoption and Guilt. The Focus is a new game mechanic that gives each central character a chance to shine, and to explore their character backstory whilst giving other players a chance to participate in an innovative form of troupe-style play, reminiscent of Ars Magica.

Part Three: Scourge

Part Three marks the moment the PCs start playing together after each of them has gone through their own Focus.  The scenario 'Vestiges' will bring them back to Dearg's daily life while introducing the first key elements of the campaign.  Things will then quickly escalate and the Vale will find itself threatened by an unfathomable danger...
