Templates
locked in a constant struggle of good versus evil. The
cruel and powerful fiend known only as Nekrottus has
established the Blackskull Empire and seeks to take over the rest
of the world. Worst of all, he has succeeded in his goal, except for
one kingdom - Haven. Ruled by the benevolent King Rastor,
Haven has always been the largest, fairest kingdom in the land.
Their brave warriors have vowed to stop Nekrottus’s forces at all
costs and restore the world to its former state.
Each player should choose one of these templates to
base their character on. From there, they can tweak certain
aspects of the character, as described by each template.
Hurt Points
The character’s Hurt Point total is figured from his
final Body rating and, to a lesser degree, his Willpower rating.
CPs aren’t spent on this.
Use the table to determine the character’s base Hurt
Points, using the modified Body rating in case of specialization.
Then, add or subtract the character’s Willpower rating to or
from the base Hurt Points. If the character has a super-rating on
his Willpower, add it in as well.
Blackskull Empire
: Ten years ago, the
Blackskull Empire was but a fledgling kingdom consisting of a
handful of insignificant villages and hamlets. Since that time,
however, it has grown like a cancer, spreading out and corrupting
the land as it went. The kingdoms that resisted were taken by
force. Currently, the Blackskull Empire is comprised of every
kingdom on Iconia, sans Haven ... and Nekrottus will not rest until
it too has been consumed.
Haven
: Having always been the largest, most
productive kingdom in the world, it’s hardly surprising that Haven
would be the last one surviving Nekrottus’s plague-like domina-
tion. Haven covers a massive expanse of land, reaching from the
Dargor Mountains to the north to the Dread Valley to the south.
King Rastor and his cabinet do a wonderful job keeping the
people happy and safe. Unfortunately, now that Haven has
become the target of Nekrottus’ attention, the latter has become
increasingly difficult to do.

The Guardians of Iconia
: In order to
maintain the kingdom’s well being in the face of the Blackskull
Empire threat, King Rastor has recently gathered Iconia’s greatest
warriors to form the Guardians of Iconia. Their goal is to defend
the kingdom from the evil of Nekrottus and free the rest of the
EXAMPLE: The character has Body 2, which gives him 35
base Hurt Points. His Willpower 2 is added to that, for a grand
total of 37.

tips, sample weapons and vehicles, Game Mastering advice, stats for all the
main heroes and villains, an exciting mini-comic and even a set of character
concept generators!
