The dreadful ancient things that lurk beneath its skin have but one demand in return for a living being’s continued existence: obedience. Across all worlds, all space and time, all must bow.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs the decay of the universe accelerates, more and more cultures under the ancients’ dominion have realized what is coming. Some have panicked, and in their fear of this great entropy, they have forgotten their tributes to the eldritch powers that still watch from secluded places. This will end - they will be reminded.

As champions and scions of ageless god-monsters that exist behind the curtain of space and time, the player-characters suborn, consume, pollute, and bring ruin to worlds across the unfortunate universe. Bloated with unclean power, yet faced with the dissolution of all existence, will you continue to serve as everything falls apart? Or will you perish in a futile attempt to defy your masters?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe present a game for players and storytellers who want to explode the old familiar sci-fi tropes and explore villainy on a cosmic scale at the same time.

In addition to the story-forward character creation and play guides, each chapter is embellished with rich prose and evocative illustrations detailing foul ascendancies, forbidden histories, and foreboding artifacts aimed at reinforcing the feel of the setting as well as providing inspiration to both Storytellers and players alike. We like to think it evokes the feel of those dark, early '90s monster-focused games without all of the crunch and metaplot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn other words...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70 page, black and white (save for the cover) 5.5\" X 8.5\" zine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-page chapter illustrations with additional spot illustrations throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStory-forward character creation process - Help build the world you play in from the start!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree fully fleshed out example species and six \u003cem\u003eDreadful Ancient Things\u003c\/em\u003e to use as you wish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuidance on how to partner \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e with many popular rules systems including \u003cstrong\u003eFate Core\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMothership\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGenesys\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e5th Edition D\u0026amp;D\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePbtA\u003c\/strong\u003e, and more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructures for both \u003cstrong\u003esolo-play\u003c\/strong\u003e and single-storyteller-single-player play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Indie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45813848113374,"sku":"BHP01","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6931\/1966\/files\/9194ea29-fdc4-48ac-a4eb-cfc65c87a0f3__70900.1669950565.1280.1280.jpg?v=1736469966","url":"https:\/\/gamelandia.fun\/products\/all-must-bow","provider":"Gamelandia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
