Blackbirds: The Extinguishing - Core Rulebook

Product Information

Due to its mundane appearance, it normally just passes itself off as an ordinary clown puppet when it needs to manifest in a situation where knowledge of its true nature would cause trouble for its Theurge. Evil Smells Bad: His appearances are always surrounded by burning incense in an attempt to mask the putrid scent of amniotic fluid. Weaksauce Weakness: He cannot stand the sound of cracking eggs, and can be banished for a full day if touched with raw yolk. I love how each of the new "gods" has a disease/condition that they inflict on their followers that transforms them in multiple stages, leading to new and interesting monsters in each of the intermediate stages (as well as cool transforming diseases that can be inflicted on the PCs). Each one contains all the information about their abilities on one side with evocative art on the other.

The horrifyingly brutal civil war gripping Elklund is ultimately a totally pointless war waged between her innumerable doppelgangers, using the inhabitants as pawns to undermine one another. She was widely known as a kindly and sympathetic woman and close confidant to the royal family of Thule, hiding her pitiless nature and obsessive need for control. Eurynomos, the Quiet RemorseA Villein of the Court of Peace, who appears as the corpse of the last person killed by her Theurge. To sever this golden cord is to plunge all of creation into chaos, a world without gods or their justice, where rebirth is the only possible salvation, and to be reborn, one must die. Each dagger is an Outsider in the form of a blade, which choose separate people to corrupt and manipulate until the wielders are willing to kill even without reason.This wasn't set in stone though; sometimes Skuld would appear old and Urd would appear to be the youngest, for example. This dark fantasy RPG puts players in the role of Blackbirds, mortals chosen by the dead gods of Fate to fight against the Oligarchs. As time goes by they begin hearing his voice and seeing visions from him, eventually culminating in them undergoing an agonizing transformation into an inert gold statue. The exception is the Nameless Court, whose members don't even bother disguising how utterly alien they are. My Beloved Smother: A particularly nasty and horrifying take on this trope, being a malevolent goddess who seeks to completely control every single action taken by every single person.

Evil Luddite: The ultimate goal of the Beasts is to tear down civilization and reduce all of humanity to feral, mindless beasts. She even views murdering and replacing people as actually doing them a service, making their lives better by forcing them to let her make decisions in their stead.Death of the Old Gods: The gods of old are dead, slaughtered by the Oligarchs in their bid for godhood. It causes the afflicted to become almost totally inured to pain while making them supernaturally beautiful, charismatic, and drawn towards pleasures of the flesh. His credits include the Adult Swim animated series Tigtone, a gory spoof of the medieval fantasy genre, the global phenomenon League of Legends, and the MoMA (NYC) inducted sci-fi game EVE Online.
