Tales of the Kytin Age, first edition
Tales of the Kytin Age is a fantasy adventure role-playing game set in Earth’s distant future, where sprawling fungi-forests and cracked, desolate badlands cover a world almost destroyed by the folly of humankind.
The climate has changed exponentially, with greater degrees of extreme weather. Amongst abundant vegetation, trees grow to dizzying heights and huge swathes of dense forest have become tropical jungles. In this new world, insects have long been the dominant presence. They have evolved into giant, fearsome monsters and now dominate the food-chain.
Millennia spent under clouds of toxic storms and a poisoned atmosphere has mutated our descendants, creating four new distinct forms of being: the physically-altered Neotype, the Metamorph, able to warp it’s own body at a cellular level, the psychically gifted Telempath and the Insectile, a strange hybrid that shares both human and insect DNA.
After thousands of years eking out a primitive existence whilst forever prey to the Great Insects, humanity is now once again on the rise and some disparate, primitive tribes have unified to forge a renaissance of civilisation.
They have risen from the radioactive ruins to establish a society much like our own medieval ancestors. Monarchies reign, noble folk enjoy wealth and luxury, while peasants strive to better their lot. Organised guilds work together to maintain trade routes, farm prodigious growths of fungi and even domesticating certain species of insect. The martial arts continue in the form of sword, shield, armour and lance. From weaponry to clothing, transport to food, the predacious creatures that have blighted the survivors of an apocalyptic war have become their most important resource.
Through a rich role-playing rules system, featuring deadly turn-based tactical combat, players explore this altered world, uncovering forgotten ruins of many failed cultures whilst avoiding - or hunting - the giant insect menace. Theirs is a time of facing the unknown, of unlimited possibilities - an age of daring and adventure. Theirs is the Kytin Age!
Tales of the Kytin Age is best enjoyed by 2-5 players aged 14+ and requires the following dice to play:
d6, d8, d10 & d20.
