Über dieses Spiel

In the not-so-distant future, the constant bombardment of technological stimuli, known as the Noise, have made human minds so overloaded and numb, that previously hidden occult forces can now operate in the open. :Otherscape is a fantasy-cyberpunk role-playing game that combines supernatural powers inspired by mythology and legend with the gritty neon-lit streets of a sprawling futuristic Megacity. It takes your game group on a rollercoaster ride of gunfights, vehicle chases, cyberspace heists, urban wasteland exploration, clashes of mythology and technology, faction wars, and philosophical questions about the nature of being human — and how to transcend it.

How to play :Otherscape

:Otherscape uses the Mist Engine - which has players creating and using their characters by employing a series of descriptive tags. This means that characters are formed entirely from descriptors, all of which affect who they are as well as what they can do.

When performing any actions, players need only add up the number of descriptors that make sense to use in their current action - before combining that number with a roll of two D6s to create their final total for the action. There are no damage rolls; the impact of the action is derived from the same roll, freeing up players and Game Masters to enjoy the cinematic thrill of the story.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What supplies do I need to play :Otherscape?

Obviously this will vary from table to table, but here are some good places to start! If your game is played in person, most likely you will want to get a set of dice, something to write with, and paper to take notes. If your game is hosted online instead, you will probably need to make accounts on a few sites for things like character sheets, access to the Virtual Tabletop for maps and tokens, and sites like Discord or Zoom for video/voice calls during the session. You won't always need to have the rulebooks to start, but if you want to read through them to make sure you know all the rules, this might also be a good option.

What if I'm not comfortable with certain themes or content in a game of :Otherscape?

If there are specific themes or content that you’re uncomfortable with, let your group and GM know before the game, and have an open conversation about these topics. Any group worth playing with should be respectful and understanding of your concerns and the game can be adjusted so everyone is having fun. All tables on StartPlaying use “Safety Tools.” These tools help ensure that these conversations are handled easily, and everyone has a voice at the table.

Do I need to know all the rules before I can play :Otherscape?

Knowing every rule of the game may be helpful to some, but many players will learn the game as they play! If you want to read the rules ahead of time you absolutely can, but if you are a hands-on learner you can also just start playing, and if there is something you don’t understand never be afraid to ask questions, because everyone starts somewhere!
