Will you save the world of Pericle...or will you let it fall into shadow? Play Alone or with Friends No Game Master or preparation required! A computer or tablet sits at the table so that Loremaster can serve the role of Game Master. This game is perfect for when your usual RPG group isn't available, or when you wish to set off on an adventure by yourself. Immersive Story Experience Experience the world of Pericle through Loremaster, which presents the Gathering Darkness campaign through rich narratives, animated cutscenes, breathtaking art, and an original soundtrack. The world is rich with history, culture, factions, politics, religions and NPCs. Most importantly, Loremaster’s branching storylines change according to player choice; your decisions shape the world of Pericle! Classless Hero Creation Pericle: Gathering Darkness has a classless creation system that allows players to build their own unique characters with varying weapon proficiencies, skills, and magic abilities. Players can even change heroes or builds mid-campaign if they wish! The hero creation system is complex and detailed, so for players who wish to learn the game before building their own, 5 pre-generated heroes are included in the core game for beginners. 60+ Hours of Gameplay Gathering Darkness is the first of many Pericle campaigns. It can take as little as 1 hour to play each session if desired, or players can continue until they wish to end. Loremaster saves the progress, so you can pick up right where you left off! We estimate that it takes more than 60 hours of gameplay to finish the Gathering Darkness campaign. Players can choose to create more than one party and make different decisions to influence the story on each new play-through! High Quality Acrylic Standees Pericle: Gathering Darkness standees are made of strong acrylic and have removable bases. Each hero standee features unique, double-sided artwork. Standees are covered in a thin plastic film to protect the artwork while shipping, which can be removed on arrival. Colorful, Intricate Maps Pericle: Gathering Darkness core game contains 25 double-sided, full color chipboard maps. Each of the unique battle maps featured in the Gathering Darkness campaign are the creation of Eric Henson, The Modern Lich. Eric has created maps and assets for use with D&D, Pathfinder, and other tabletop RPGs, and his talents help bring the vibrancy and danger of Pericle to life in the maps! Each map is numbered for ease of use. When it's time to set up the tabletop for battle, Loremaster will indicate which map to take out and where to place enemy and hero standees. Hazards on the map, such as water or lava, are explained in the combat setup. These vibrant maps set the scene on the tabletop and create a backdrop for the battle. A Crossroads of Classic Tabletop Gaming & Sleek, App-Assisted Adventure The Pericle: Gathering Darkness story unfolds inside Loremaster, our companion app. Loremaster presents everything to players, from soundtrack to cutscenes. Most importantly, Loremaster relays story arcs and decisions for your group of heroes to make. Pericle: Gathering Darkness isn't just about combat; mystery, political intrigue, and exploration all await you from the moment you set foot in the Jarin Isles. But along the way, you're bound to come into conflict with a host of enemies. When combat is inevitable, Loremaster will bring up the combat screen. Setup for combat is quick and simple! Loremaster will tell you which map to use, where to place enemies, and where you can place your own heroes - and then it's time for the battle to begin. Dice are rolled, standees moved, spells cast, and attacks made. Players move through initiative, movement, and action rounds until the combat is resolved. The result is entered in to Loremaster, and then the adventure continues.

I am a cognitive scientist who researchers trauma and resilience. And after a pretty rough and stressful 5 or 6 years, I wanted a way to avoid television, cut way back on screen time, and detoxify my mind a bit. Enter Pericle. I have lways loved games. But my busy schedule - and my friends' busy schedules - made game nights, especially for detailed RPG campaigns impossible. The thing about Pericle is that it is an absolute BLAST to play solo! And if you start a campaign solo, you can add friends and family from time to time and it works seamlessly. You can even cswap out characters, either pregenerated or original.Speaking of characters; the character creation flexibility in this game is off the charts. I have never played a game with such an open-ended character generating mechanic. Just brilliant.The artwork and quality of the game components is very good. Long Dog did not skimp on this game. The Loremaster (an included web-based app) guides your campaign - so no need for detailed planning, and no one has to do all the work to make sure the party has fun. Everyone plays! The apps art, music, narration, and helpful, intuitive interface make this a simple game to learn. Yes, there is a small (but steep) learning curve regarding combat mechanics - but the game is combat heavy, so you get the basics down very quickly. Resource collection is nicely balanced, and combat is varied and interesting.Typically, my play sessions are an hour or two, but there are logical breaks every 30-45 minutes which is perfect. However, even if you have to pause in the middle of combat, Loremaster remembers where you are. Take a picture of the board on your phone. Put the game away if you have to and come back later.Bottom line: The price may seem high, but if you look at bog box games, it isn't. Read the product description and see how many mini-standees come in this game. There are over 50 map boards as well! You can also count on at least 60-70 hours of play, even if you skip sidequests (but don't - they are worth it). The game is immersive and of superior quality. Gameplay is surprisingly flexible as well. $160 is a lot for a game. But if you play video games on a console, Pericle becomes even more of a bargain - and you get to actually engage your brain.
