One by one they are disappearing
Friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers
When they return they aren’t who you think​

They look the same. They sound the same
But they are no longer the same…​

The most unholy of spells incanted,
Undead fire burns in its victims’ eyes…​

The Nethermancer has spoken
His was the last voice they heard…
Before they were perverted into monsters with familiar faces​

In a world without heroes
Who can you trust?​

In a world where the dead are rising
Who can you turn to?
No one.
No one is safe​

Can you save the world from everyone you ever cared about?​

This, my friends, is the promotional snippet for Deathfire, designed to whet your appetites.​

How about Age of Deathfire?

 

[made]

Another undead army plot, seriously?

Yes, but only at the outset. As you delve deeper into the story you ultimately uncover that, unprecedented in RPGs to date, a race of evil BUGS has been pulling the strings all along.

Pulp Sword&Sorcery title followed by pulp Sword&Sorcery story. Works just fine for me.

 

[Excidium]

Pulp Sword&Sorcery title followed py pulp Sword&Sorcery story. Works just fine for me.

Would that the art and actual game followed sword & sorcery too

 

[Kem0sabe]

Zombies he says... hmm, this peaked my interest, although he writes like a 12 year olds first attempt at fantasy.

Deathfire: The Fiery Death Saga, Volume 1


I haven't really been following this one, so I thought that was actually the game's official title. I hope he comes up with something better because I actually hate the title "Deathfire" more than "Divine Divinity" in terms of sounding retarded. It's impressive, really.

Looks like lyrics by some random european power metal band. For whom English is a second or a third language. Needs more AWESOME GUITAR SOLOs though.

Something like this

Lyrics

ROSA NERA SUSSURRANTE PIANGE SANGUE
D'INNOCENZA / DALL'ABISSO LEI RITORNA PER
URLARE LA SENTENZA

The witches are riding, wolfs howl at the moon / while
candles are lighting the black mess of fools / The
daughter of evil the mistress of shame / her tomb is
now open to allow her awake / ...'cause she is the
princess of sorrow,'cause she is the bringer of pain
while gothic portals of sadness call her
unpronounceable name

Moonlight is lighting her face
down in the crypts of the damned
Her sins will not be the last
when the rituals start

BLACK CANDELS BURNING ANNOUNCE HER COME
BACK / THE REIGN IS AWAITING THE QUEEN OF THE
DEAD... OF THE DEAD!

The poison is ready, the words are pronounced / the
portals are open, her soul wanders through / Her body
is moving, her heart of bitch pounds / Is Kron who
lives in her, in her open wounds / ,,,'cause she was
devoted to darkness, drinking black blood for her god
Witch of perversion and luxury suicide as true lover of
Kron

Moonlight is lighting her face
down in the crypts of the damned
Her sins will not be the last
when the rituals start

BLACK CANDELS BURNING ANNOUNCE HER COME
BACK / THE REIGN IS AWAITING THE QUEEN OF THE
DEAD... OF THE DEAD!

ROSA NERA SUSSURRANTE PIANGE SANGUE
D'INNOCENZA / DALL'ABISSO LEI RITORNA PER
URLARE LA SENTENZA

Oh, God... the passage is open / the souls of the
damned are ready to cross it... / Godforsaken bitch...!
Your fucking army of dead will never be so powerful
to break the chains of wisdom... beware!

My land don't cry
My birds don't stop to fly
Poor child don't die
don't let her taste your blood

Gargoyles and wizards prepare this last ride
mountains and valleys are calling your might
Mystical sunshines prelude to her coming
the black flame of evil is burning and growing

Queen... queen of the dark horizons!

Forest of ghostland give your sad welcome
to the ancestral whisper of hell
Sodomy, pestilence, torture and bloodshed
is what she brings from her past of depraved

Queen... queen of the dark horizons!

Her body is moving, her heart of bitch pounds / Is
Kron who lives in her, in her open wounds / ,,,'cause
she was devoted to darkness, drinking black blood for
her god / Witch of perversion and luxury suicide as
true lover of Kron

Moonlight is lighting her face
down in the crypts of the damned
Her sins will not be the last
when the rituals start

BLACK CANDELS BURNING ANNOUNCE HER COME
BACK / THE REIGN IS AWAITING THE QUEEN OF THE
DEAD... OF THE DEAD!

 

[Night Goat]

See now give me a game where you ARE the necromancer and you get to raise an undead army and take over the world.

Dwarf Fortress

 

[Dorateen]

Bring it on! Pounding on the undead never gets old. Filthy, unnatural creations. With the added bonus that these zombies look like people you didn't even like in life.

Only thing I'm leery about is this adventure hook/back story. "When your father disappeared..." There better not be a Main Protagonist. This is supposed to be a party-based game.

 

[Zed]

It does look like lyrics for some cheesy metal.

In a world without heroes
Who can you trust?
In a world where the dead are rising
Who can you turn to?
No one.
No one is safe

I'm not too fond of save-the-world plots. It forces you to play a good character.

OT, but that song is based on this excellent piece by Goblin

Play this. Excellent stuff if you don't mind cyoa. Pretty much every cyoa by EndMaster is great.

Just finished it, really great interactive story thanks for pointing it out.

Play Ground Zero by the same guy, it's good too. His porn ones are p. kkkrazy

 

[Darth Roxor]

Are you a bad enough dude to save the world from everyone you ever cared about?

 

[Diablo169]

That's why I said Necromancer and not "Villain protagonist". Distinct lack of RPGS in that trope anyway.

 

[Johannes]

Oh no, it has a generic story it absolutely cannot be good!

 

[Excidium]

Oh no, it has a generic story it absolutely cannot be good!

Nah it's just a derivative hackjob like everything shown so far.

 

[tuluse]

This reminds me of the Sui Generis thing where the guy was like "the story is only generic because I'm pretending" except Henkel seems to think it's not actually boring.
