Total Eclipse: The Adventurer’s Forge

The Adventurer’s Forge allows Total Eclipse players to create a character in the fantasy genre. Think of it as a player’s handbook, detailing how to create a character, the various races, goods and equipment, spells, and more.

Character creation is almost a game unto itself, allowing even the most non-imaginative player to bring to life a wonderfully detailed and creative character. Characters come to life during the creation phases by being more than a series of statistics. Everything from family history (“The adventurer’s family was slaughtered by undead.”) to advantages (“At one with the mountains.”) to disadvantages (“Rude to wait staff.”) is decided through a series of rolls that in the end give birth to a living, breathing multi-dimensional adventurer just oozing with substance.

It wouldn’t be a fantasy game without the ability to play different racial types and players will find numerous non-traditional choices in The Adventurer’s Forge. Set in the official Disrupted Gears’ campaign world of Virdea, races range from reptilian humanoids to undead to fey. Of course humans are present, but even the humans stray from being vanilla thanks to nine sub-types.

Skills and special abilities are discussed, and a complete listing of spells is included. The system is not class-based, but mechanics for using archetypes, which are psuedo-class like (but more akin to joining a medieval order) are included. Finally, goods and equipment are detailed, along with a brief word about religion in the world of Virdea.

If you tire of the standard Tolkein-esque fantasy campaign and want to experience adventuring life in a unique setting, The Adventurer’s Forge is your first step towards a new freedom in role-playing.
