Artesia

The award-winning graphic novel series "Artesia" comes to life in the "Adventures in the Known World" RPG.The rules of the Artesia: Adventures in the Known World RPG are based upon the Fuzion™ system (a combination of RTG’s Interloc System and the Hero System from Hero Games). Artesia AKW is d10 based, meaning the primary die roll you make to resolve conflicts and tests is ten-sided. All basic Characteristics are also measured from 1 to 10 (lowest to highest), though higher scores are possible through hard work and the luck of the draw.



Characters have 15 basic Characteristics (sounds like a lot, but they’re pretty easy to use) divided into Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Characteristics. Those Characteristics – such as Strength, Wisdom, Memory, Imagination, etc., – serve as the primary tools for testing your Character during adventures. In addition, each Character also has Skills (things you learn to do), Gifts (special things you are born being able to do or which emerge as you mature), and Bindings (things that serve as limits on what you can do, or that make tests more difficult for you). Your Skills, Gifts, and Bindings help or hurt your Characteristics when combined with them during tests. Tests either have Difficulty Ratings determined by the Guide (Game Master) that you have to equal or surpass with your die roll, or they are Opposed Tests when two different Characters are testing each other (with the higher roll being the victor).



As you adventure through the Known World, your actions are rewarded by Arcana Points for one or more of the Arcana – which are 22 images that represent different Paths that you can take depending on what your actions and inclinations are. The Arcana are based on the Tarot of the Known World. You can take multiple Paths at once (each of us is a complicated person, and we’re always being tugged in different directions). The Arcana Points you earn can then be used to improve your Characteristics, Skills, and Gifts
