......At a time before the great deluge swept from this planet all remembrance of its past, there once ruled a mighty empire of alien gods. Their planet dying, they came here seeking to save their world, but through wickedness, nearly destroyed both. Will destiny or fate determine our future? Who will prevail; the righteous or the wicked? As a player character in the game world of An-kur, you decide!
About us:
AN-KUR "Kingdom of the Gods" is a table-top roleplaying game designed by Christopher M. Miller, a native of Atlanta, GA. and long time regular of the Atlanta gaming scene. The game's setting is largely based on ancient Sumerian mythology, and is inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Maurice Chatelain, Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Zacharia Sitchen.
The game's timeline takes place on Earth (Ki) some 400,000 years in the past. A race of alien beings from the planet Nibiru in the far reaches of our own solar system, come to Earth to mine gold for the production of Mana. They create Humans (Ki Lu) as a slave race to mine the gold. After a series of revolts, two factions emerge among the aliens, one who seeks to free human kind and one that seeks to destroy the abominations. A great war erupts and both the Gods and men must choose sides. This is the backdrop your characters will adventure in. It is a dangerous world full of long extinct creatures, indiginous and alien. Treachery and wickedness are around every corner. Will the righteous prevail?
Still in it's Beta phase, AN-KUR is being play tested and will be coming soon in both e-book and hardbound versions.
The game will debut at the 2013 Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. Demos will be held and special "AN-KUR" swag will be given out.
Game features:
AN-KUR incorporates its own unique gaming system. As such, there are several elements of character creation and game play that may be a bit "alien" to seasoned D20 players.....pardon the pun.
For starters, there are NO class levels in AN-KUR. Characters learn by "doing" and improve by "doing often". A character's Intellect determines the number of times a skill must be performed before it is learned or increased. That being said, this is still a "class" based system......we call them castes. There are skill tiers called "circles". You'll start with a set number of caste skills modified by your starting wisdom.
This system uses D12"s for skill and conflict resolutions and D4's for determination of attribute scores.
There are three player character races in AN-KUR, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose between Yowree (Sasquatch), Malu-watu (wild hairy pygmies who will eat anything and love shiny objects), and Ki-Lu (Humans that come in 27 racial varieties).
There are 7 classes the player can choose from, so there's sure to be something for everyone.
Character moral Alignment plays a great role in game play, and there is a reward system set up for accurate roleplaying and good moral behavior.
This is a "Sci-fi game and while there is no "magic", there is extensive use of Psionics in the AN-KUR game world. Similarly, high technology can often seem magical to primitive peoples. Rest assured, there will be plenty in AN-KUR to satisfy the would be sorcerer.
Pre-historic animals, flying saucers, ray guns, swords and sorcery, alien worlds, and even time travel await you in the adventurous world of AN-KUR "Kingdom of the Gods".
