Asunder Playtest Document Rev1
Asunder Playtest Document Welcome to the Asunder Playtest! What you hold in your hands is the playtest document for Asunder, a game of people seeking truth, power, and belonging in a savage world without metal. It uses the same rules that Rob Schwalb’s Shadow of the Demon Lord uses so, if you’re familiar with that game, you’ll be able to get up to speed on Asunder fairly quickly. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’ll find in this document. Chapter 1: A World Out of Balance This chapter will tell you what you need to know, in brief, about the world of Asunder and its people. It’s designed to give you the very basics, but there’s more setting material later in the document. Chapter 2: Seeker Creation Asunder has character creations similar to those of Shadow, though Asunder’s Origins are a bit different from Shadow’s ancestries. Also of note is that the Interesting Things table and the Roleplaying section are missing from this chapter; you can use the ones from Shadow if you wish. Chapter 3: Playing the Game Asunder’s rules are very similar to Shadow’s, so you won’t find much new content here. There are a few terminology changes here and there, and you’ll want to familiarize yourself with Strain and Discord, as well as the rules for fatal flaws. Chapter 4: Combat Combat is Asunder works as it does in Shadow. If you’re familiar with Shadow combat, you’re familiar with Asunder combat. Chapters 5, 6, and 7: Novice Paths, Expert Paths, and Master Paths These are all new! Enjoy them.
