Klothos - Monogatari (GDR)

Supplement for Klothos in Italian

In Japanese, Monogatari means story, tale. The Monogatari genre is made up of heroic and sometimes fantastic tales, which speak of imaginary stories or historical events reinterpreted in a poetic key, often featuring magic and creatures that do not belong to our world, similar to the epic tales of the Greeks, the poetic Edda of the Normans, or the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.

Monogatari is the first official expansion of Klothos and adds to the Thread System new rules related to Honor and Dishonor, new Castes inspired by medieval Japan, and a rich bestiary, with dozens of opponents, divided between humans and supernatural yokai.

Monogatari is a game that aims to tell this type of stories, on the border between chanbara (Japanese sword and cape tales) and fairy tale, where samurai, geisha, ninja, and bonzes live adventures in a world that could be Japan during the Sengoku period, with clans fighting each other, and shoguns and their samurai dominating through war, although sometimes a monster from folklore may appear.

Monogatari is a narrative game, where the actions of the characters truly shape the world around them thanks to the Threads of Destiny, which allow a character to succeed in otherwise impossible feats, but at the same time bring them closer to their inevitable end.
