Helvéczia: Picaresque Fantasy RPG
Helvéczia: Picaresque Fantasy RPG je příručka pro pikareskní fantasy hru na hrdiny z prostředí alternativního Švýcarska. K příručce dostanete také mapu a mariášové karty.
Příručka je v angličtině.
“Venture into a rugged land of stamp-sized, steadfastly independent petty states, populated with robber bands, pious clergymen, wig-wearing philistines, adventurous countesses, and wily cheats: the cantons of Helvéczia, a territory of forbidding mountain ranges and endless forests betwixt rival empires. (…) A re-imagination of old-school fantasy role-playing in a late 17th century Switzerland that never was, Helvéczia is a fast-paced and colourful game of guns, dames, deviltry and steel, based on swashbuckling tales, penny dreadfuls, local legends, and the strange stories of the Brothers Grimm.”
A complete, new old-school game system for picaresque fantasy role-playing campaigns set in a strange alternate-world Switzerland where danger lurks in the deep forests, and even weirder things are afoot in the high mountain valleys. Helvéczia is a love letter to the penny dreadfuls and cheap picaresque novels describing the lives and changing fortunes of scoundrels, bravos and never-do-wells – adventurers in the truest sense. With cover art by Peter Mullen, players’ cartography by Sean Stone, and illustrations by the old masters.

This version contains:
- A 208-page rulebook including character creation, simple yet flexible rules, spells, monsters, magic items (mostly new), GM advice, random tables, a starting adventure, and a brief setting guide. The rules are intended to be easy to learn, and the book can be picked up by beginners rather quickly. Going beyond a simple rules variant, Helvéczia comes with detailed explanatory notes for players, and an in-depth guide for Gamemasters.
- An A3 overview map by Sean Stone, providing an overview of Helvéczia’s geography on one side, and its main cantons, towns and territories on the other.
- Eight more player and GM hex maps for the entire extent of Helvéczia, and some of the surrounding territories (two of each map included to last multiple campaigns)
- A deck of 32 cards in case you want to play a hand with the devil – according to Hungarian card sharp traditions (these are digital images of an antique, out-of-print edition, different from the version included in the print version).
- Character sheets, sample characters, reference sheets, and a calendar booklet to keep strict time records with for a meaningful campaign.
- get surrounded by a band of brigands, shoot your way out, and make your getaway on one of their horses…
- seduce an adventurous countess, and lose all your money to her in a game of cards (how did she do it?!)…
- get devoured by giant frogs lurking in an abandoned well…
- blow up the Devil’s stagecoach and live to tell the tale…
- die in an unlucky first aid attempt (many such cases!)…
- hunt wolves from horseback with grenades…
- learn useless sciences like Hermeneutics and Vacuum Theory, then find them surprisingly useful…
- get captured by the Inquisition, and escape from their clutches with the aid of a Holy Bible they gave you for your final night…
- team up with the Inquisition against a blasphemous nest of fishmen…
- dig up the fingerbones of a hanged man for the Skeleton Key spell, and procure a tanned dogskin for Emilio Sciarelli’s Spectacle…
- play cards with the Devil for your immortal soul!
