Dark Graal

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.00

The Round Table is sundered. Twisted shadows of once noble heroes stalk the wretched land, victims of the Graal's malevolence. 

The Quest for the Holy Graal was a success, but Arthur and his companions failed to understand its true power. The Graal deceived them and plunged Albion into a growing darkness. This is a demon-haunted landscape where grotesque forms of legendary creatures and mythic warriors give in to their base instincts. 

In Dark Graal, players are the Afflicted, heroes who have been tainted by the Graal's foul sorcery but maintain a sliver of humanity. Their only hope of destroying the damned chalice is by finding the lost Excalibur. But over time the Graal's power will turn Albion into a decayed land, and the afflictions each hero carries comes to bear. 

***

Dark Graal is a micro roleplaying game set in a twisted Arthurian realm where the Afflicted attempt to destroy the Graal before it's too late. The game features:

  • A d6 pool system with degrees of success that could spell doom for the characters or glorious triumph
  • Characters can tap into the foul sorceries of the Graal in a freeform magic system. The more complex the spell, the more likely the Graal's power will alter the world.
  • The Harrowing Winds produced by the Graal will change the landscape and the rules as it grows more powerful. Foes grow stronger and survival becomes a whole lot tougher.
  • Be you a Beast, a Demon or the Living Dead? Every Affliction is impacted by the Harrowing Winds as the characters change: with benefits and drawbacks.

What a great little game! I really like how a player consists of all 5 archetypes (Knight, Hunter, Scoundrel, Chaplain, Sorcerer) but assigns them each a weight by distributing six d6 dice across them. Would have liked to see Mordred described in the foes section and a sentence or two about Excalibur (in terms of game mechanics). Otherwise, this is a great 2-page game. I'd love to see it expanded into a short zine format.

Working on an adventure where the PC knights join Beast Afflicted Sir Blioberis (“The Knight of the Wilderness “) and his Living Dead Afflicted brother Sir Blamire (lost a to the death trial by combat to Tristram, who refused to kill him—but Blamire still feels that his life ended there) on a hunt for Sir Segwarides’ wife Jezelle who has turned into cunning She-Beast haunting a dark forest.
Segwarides’ wife, a wanton sort in good times, was the object of Blioberis’ obsession years ago.
Have the two knights put aside their differences to recover the lady, or does Demon-Afflicted Segwarides have secret plans for his rival?
Spoiler: seriously? What do you expect under the Harrowing Wind?

Sorry, Bleoberis is the more common English spelling. It was Blioberis in the French romance I was just looking at.
Segwarides wife isn’t given a name in any of the versions I have at hand, so I opted for Jezelle as an unsubtle reference to her Jezebelle-like nature.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
