Who do you want to be today?

Issaries, Inc. is pleased to announce our forthcoming game, QuestWorlds.

QuestWorlds is a poly-genre roleplaying adventure game in which players portray characters from any imaginable genre of fiction. From the seedy alleys of noir detective stories, to the dusty, sun-baked streets of an Old West town at high noon, to the deathly silent cryo-chambers of a ship lost among the stars, QuestWorlds allows you to experience adventure like no other.

QuestWorlds is

  • Simple yet sophisticated. One system is used for ALL resolutions, whether mortal combat, intellectual debate, torrid seduction, racing spaceships or horses or giraffes, mercantile bickering, or even (depending on the scale) a worldwide nuclear war.
  • Based on the popular HeroQuest roleplaying game, designed by award-winning Robin Laws, and often praised for its cleverness, ease of learning and fun.
  • Limitless. Only the players' imaginations limit their options.
  • A story and narrative game, not slowed down by cumbersome mechanics.

QuestWorlds has FIVE GAMES IN ONE BOOK. The five games are:

  1. Western. Cowboys, indians, cavalry and the Great American Wilderness.
  2. Occult. Ghosts, zombies, strange dimensions and dark magical arts.
  3. Super Heroes. Zap, bam and pow, with sinister plots to destroy the world.
  4. Science Fiction. Aliens, space ships and strange worlds set across the universe.
  5. Wuxia. Kung fu, karate and tree-leaping feats in the exotic Orient.

Players get:

  • Five worlds share a seamlessly-integrated character generation systems
  • A fully scalable game system. The same systems describe a character and can describe anything those characters will encounter. A city, dinosaur, spaceship, or even an entire campaign setting.
  • Consistent and easy description. All things begin with the same general concept: describe it in 100 words.

Game Masters get:

  • Extensive advice and options to allow Game Masters to customize and model their preferred settings, and includes an examination of many of the exciting genres in heroic fiction.
  • Two complete scenarios, ready to play immediately.

Start playing immediately! When you come out of an exciting movie thinking "I'd love to run a game based on that!" with QuestWorlds, you can call your gaming group to meet you at home, think up a few key elements on your way, and be ready to play before the pizza arrives.
