Ecryme: Player’s Guide

Description

The world has long been submerged by an ocean of ecryme, a strange acidic substance that corrodes everything. Humanity managed to survive on the small outcroppings and islands left in its wake. They built a civilization based on steelwork and stonework. Large cities, built vertically to make the most of what little space exists, sprang up from the horizon. Driven by impulse, humanity built the traverses, endless gigantic bridges to cross the ecryme sea and connect to one another. Ecryme is a dystopian steampunk TTRPG set in a time parallel to our Gilded Age, but in a world forever changed by an apocalyptic event in the distant past. It uses a simple 2d6 system that favors skill investment over luck to drive moody, investigative roleplay driven by characters’ ambitions. The Ecryme Player's Guide contains everything needed to know about the world of Ecryme, its nations, beliefs, limits, and technologies. It contains all the rules required to play the game and a section dedicated to creating characters.
