![]() ![]() ![]() New Angeles is a relatively straightforward game, which is more or less a framework around which political discussion and negotiation can take place. ![]() Running a corporate empire is made more challenging by having to deal with annoying Human First activists who want rights for humans, and Org-Crime mob-bosses stealing your Android manufactured goods. The way the game forces you into the mindset of a soulless corporation can be very surprising, you will find yourself saying something like ‘Well, I’m keen to provide healthcare for these dying masses of citizens, but what’s in it for me?’ and you realise you have been thoroughly drawn into this game. It is a political game that has married the perfect combination of theme and gameplay – heartless mega-corporations that are forced to begrudgingly co-operate on welfare projects so that the city that provides them with their vast wealth doesn’t collapse, putting them all out of business. New Angeles is produced by Fantasy Flight Games and has everything you would expect from them – great visual design, well polished rules and the classic cardboard valley insert. Of course the goal for you – the CEO of a mega-corporation, is to increase your company’s worth – making sure you out-perform your rival.Ĥ-6 Players | 2-4 Hours | Designed by James Kniffen The site of the Space Elevator that connects Earth to the Moon, New Angeles has quickly become the bustling centre of the corporate world, not to mention a nest of organised crime, and harbour of the growing underground Human First movement. of one of the 6 large mega-corporations that are more or less in charge of New Angeles. Sounds bleak, but do I have good news for you – you happen to be the CEO/President/Owner/Director/Chairman/. Something went wrong along the way, and the city of New Angeles is embroiled in some sort of late stage capitalist hell where mega-corporations run the show. Unfortunately, this development didn’t result the the post scarcity utopia one would hope for. uhh It’s the future! Technology has evolved to the point where humans no longer need to work and everything could be made plentiful with android labour. The supplement says it's generally not going to be important unless you're trying to touch on themes of existential dread.It’s the year. Whether or not they are truly sapient or just sort of like biological robots with an advanced behavior routines is left unsaid. It is likely that escape from the Mists is effectively impossible for the soulless since they will cease to operate once they leave the Demiplanes like other soulless bodies. There is indication that a soulless person can end up with the soul of someone else in which case there will be a mix of memories from those of the acquired soul and those of the individual's own experiences. The exception seems to be the Domains of Dread, where it sounds like the bulk of the populous are soulless. It looks like in a normal circumstance having no soul means you cannot function. But a soul is kinda important unless you are undead or a construct.īut I was looking for this as well and figured I'd bump it to be easy for others and also give some Van Richten's based updates. None of this prevent other interpetations (the Straad one above for example, not familiar with it). Items that do muck with them include, Nine Lives Stealer, Deck of Many Things (see the Void card), and Blackrazor All of which implies that a normal person can't function without a soul. Imprisonment has some related stuff, but it isn't specifically about souls. The spell Soul Cage has some mechanics of a soul of the recently killed is stuck for a while under the casters' control. Also, see the DMG entry for larva under the section discussing the plane of Hades. ![]() Most of the other references with Devils and the like is that you sold it, but they take possession upon death and whisk you away to the lower planes then, but not before. There is a ton more in other editions.įor monsters, he closest official 5e stuff is probably covered under the Night Hag entry as far as a soul that has been taken. There are a couple of references here and there in 5e. I may create some homebrew ideas and post there. Now it seems there are no hard rules, but a little direction. That soulless period was the purpose of the original post. but the character is somehow different during their soulless time. In theory this condition is reversible as it often is in film and literature. What if a player or central NPC lost their soul? perhaps selling it to the devil, perhaps they angered some voodoo witch doctor that somehow stole it.ĭo they lose control of the character, do they lose levels, ability scores, does alignment change? I should add a little clarification here and say: Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures ![]()
