The Ones We Were is intended for 3-6 characters of levels 3-5.Welcome to a world where, yes, it can get worse...and usually does. Anything is possible, but the possibilities often wind up have scales, fangs, claws, and a particular penchant for snacking on human flesh. Here, you'll find the deranged, the deviant, and the deadly. And that's not even talking about the monsters yet. While perhaps a darker world, Alterkine still provides many opportunities for daring fights and feats that set the commoner apart from the true hero--or simply the unlucky dead from the skin-of-their-teeth survivors. Or you might just be in it for the cash, or because you harbor a nasty lust for violence and death that blurs the line between monster and man. Whatever the case, you knew the risks when you chose this life, and now it's just a question of whether you'll live long enough to collect on your next paycheck.

Corporia is a 208-page tabletop role-playing game of genre-bending fiction and futuristic urban fantasy. In Corporia, you take on the roles of reborn Knights of the Round Table or their supernaturally-powered allies, fighting an invisible war for justice in the struggle between otherworldly Chaos magics and the oppressive Order of the ruling mega-corporations! Corporia is 'knights in shining Armani.' It's what happens when you mix Camelot with a spoonful of Torchwood, add a pinch of cyberpunk, a dash of Joss Whedon's Angel, and a sprinkling of Shadowrun. If you enjoy these, you're going to love Corporia. Highlights One simple, unified game mechanic for all abilities, including fighting, spellcasting, and hacking! All characters can join the Hacker in virtual conflicts; no one gets left out! Spellcasters can cast whatever they can imagine, limited only by their skill rank in any of eight schools of magic - and all 64 sample spells can be easily modified at will! Four personality traits (three public, one private) keep situations interesting and provide points for permanent and temporary improvements, supplementing the core dice mechanics without becoming the main aspects of the rules! Metal melee weapons are more effective against monsters than firearms, keeping swords and daggers relevant even in a future of X-Calibre energy pistols and glowing raypiers! An innovative, modern design style in a book full of page-turning concepts!
