Sword Saints
The Sword Saints RPG, written by Gary Hallstrom and illustrated by David Pearson III (with art contributions from Mike Collins), is an epic fantasy adventure game for 4-6 players set in the world of Saint's. Players take on roles as esses who are trying to escape a massive ur-arcology called "The Cage," which has consumed their society, forcing them into isolation and spiritual turmoil. The Sword Saints have come together with various skillsets, including swordsmen wielding deadly weapons like energy blades or rapiers; mages specializing in dream powers for psychic attacks against the autarch rulers of the cage who seek to control all esses through sleep-filled dreams called "Dreamtwipping." Players must choose whether they want their true selves and avoid being consumed by The Cage, leading them down a dangerous path where only one person can emerge victorious. A devpost will be available for download once it is complete with an index of the rules to make reading easier on mobile devices while staying focused in playtime
