Astora A Land of Ancient evil and Dark fantasy.
14th of Harchment, 932 A.D
Astora is an OSR inspired RPG that is not for the feint of heart. A traditional dark fantasy setting, where smart play and creative thinking will get you deeper into the dark dungeons and forbidden temples of Astora, and closer to untold riches and forgotten relics.
Astora is a persistent world. Time is always moving forward, and with it the world advances, plots progress, and villain's grow closer to their goals. There is no set story, no planned questline, or big bad. The players are the story, and their actions shape Astora for everyone, good or bad. Do you seek to be the most famous Knight in all the land? The cunning Thief with a guild of trained pickpockets? The wise Druid that protects the still untamed wilds now encroached upon? Or perhaps the King of your own realm, serving your people as sovereign and conquering your enemies? Many will try to prove themselves in Astora, who will get their names in the books of history?
The World of Astora
The world of Astora is violent, war torn and wounded. Centuries of conflict and calamities have taken their toll, and the gods have been brought low by the Abyss, the all consuming Chaos from below. Humans, Dwarves, Elves and the other species of the world struggle and claw their way to a better life. The land is strewn with the remnants of fallen empires. Abandoned citadels and deep underground caves leading to the mythic underworld. Ancient forests and haunted battlefields. All are plundered by adventurers seeking to gain glory and wealth. Factions vie for control of the land and gods fight for the faith of the mortal realm.

What Kind of Game is it?
Gameplay is based on OSE, or B/X. Old style play of dungeons and dragons is a fast and suspensful game. Death comes quickly, but with that a sense of great achievement. There is no skills or feats, and equipment is a better indicator of who you are than class or species. To survive, players must use their wits, and push the limits of what they can get away with. Fight dirty, trick, trap, and sneak your way through the dark in search of riches, and don't forget to run often. Follow the link for more information about the style of play Astora encourages.
