Pandemonio: Director Guide

by Rafael Chandler

Demons feed on innocent souls while angels obliterate cities. Humans are caught in the possessed, devoured, judged, damned. The world needs a hero. Unfortunately, there aren't any, so what the hell, you might as well give it a try. You're a Disciple, a supernatural warrior on the front lines. Wielding bizarre magics like Sexpletive, Death Panel, Photobomb, and Gunfetti, you must hunt down the diabolical and divine, rescue innocent civilians, and maintain a grip on the tattered vestiges of your humanity. How far will you go to destroy your enemy? Will you resort to cannibalism? Are you certain? Listen, don't knock it until you've tried it. This game is an amalgam of two previously-published RPGs. The First Book of Pandemonium was originally published in 2002, with a new version in 2007. The Second Book of Pandemonium was released in 2009. Pandemonio combines both rulesets and settings into a fast-paced game of splatterpunk action set in a world of violence and decay. You'll need several 12-sided dice and a mind full of nailbombs, scaphism, and hollow-point bullets. This director guide contains rules for running campaigns and creating scenarios; it also features over 120 horrendous monsters, including angels, demons, and eucharites. There are also two introductory adventures to get you started, along with several random tables and a bunch of really repulsive concepts like Sepsis, Decay, and the Abbatoir.

[Arthur B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Largely dedicated to providing adversaries for Pandemonio. Good for body horror concepts, albeit a little male gaze-y. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordp...
