Licensee Spotlight – Kunos: High Fantasy Horror for Savage Worlds
Ace licensee Menagerie Press (Neo-Tokyo 2100) is currently running a Kickstarter to help bring a brand new setting for Savage Worlds to life!
Kunos is a high-fantasy horror roleplaying setting filled with terrible things that lurk in dark places, a place where sword and spell meet scuttling creatures and their deranged minions. In Kunos, hope and heroes battle against nightmare forces that snuck into the world via cracks in reality.
Kunos isn’t just a world filled with monsters. It has:
💀 The Terrors, eldritch monsters that seek to ensnare or kill sentient beings
💀 Themes from high-fantasy epics such as the Eddas and Arthurian tales
💀 Supernatural beasts like those found in Beowulf and Japan’s yōkai stories
💀 Arcane magic based on color combinations, which in turn have motifs
💀 Divine magic fueled by Ideals: mortal concepts that bestow powers to Idealists
💀 Magical items that grow alongside the heroes, helping them become legends
💀 New character options, including the ponderous stone folk, flying sprites, and more
The goal of this Kickstarter is to help fund the publication of a PDF Quickstart which consists of a brief setting overview, six pregenerated characters, and a short adventure. The Quickstart is enough to start playing and have one or two sessions in the world of Kunos.
