In the days when Babylon was the greatest city on Earth, mankind lived in placid ignorance of the grandeur, vastness and horror of the cosmos. Following cataclysmic events on Earth the fragile veil between reality and the Void was shattered and the truth of existence revealed. As mankind cried for salvation, they were torn from their homeworld by Void-torrents and the surviving peoples of Earth were scattered among the stars. Countless were lost and mankind seemed all but perished.
Over the decades the survivors, stragglers and ragged remnants of mankind’s tribes struggled for their lives across countless uncaring worlds. However, a few managed to go beyond mere subsistence and travel the Void-currents to congregate in fabled Llyhn, epicentre of the cosmos.
In the BLACK VOID role-playing game you and your fellow players are descendants of the survivors of Earth. Behind you the smouldering ruins of humanity, before you a vast treacherous cosmos and mysterious Llyhn swarming with outlandish lifeforms, eccentric daimons and otherworldly entities. In this swelling cosmopolis of intrigue, wonder, decadence, beauty and eldritch menace begins the battle for the survival and resurgence of mankind.
This Roll20 starter set uses the new, custom made BLACK VOID Character Sheet for Roll20 and contains:
A full set of quickstart rules to get you started in the world of BLACK VOID
A complete, prepped, ready-to-go adventure set in Llyhn, epicentre of the cosmos: The Flight from Salvation Square
An honest thief, a fraudulent chatter-broker, a drug-addicted guard and a turncoat gang-member have set out to recover a sacred idol stolen from the Cult of Tiamat.
The retrieval itself was a success, but something went wrong and now pursuers are hot on their heels as the characters flee.
Their escape lies on the other side of Salvation Square, a slum area riddled with hazards and hostile dwellers. A dhow will arrive before dawn at the quay and leave as the bells of the morning palace begin to toll to take the characters to safety… …if they can get to it in time!
Central themes, species and locations of the BLACK VOID setting are showcased in this introductory adventure as it takes the protagonists on a hazardous flight through a notorious district of Llyhn the Eternal.
