What this means? Any gesture that any party member uses that's close enough to the somatic gestures of a spell runs the risk of accidentally casting that spell - at a random power level with a random target, and probably inflicting its level in Radiant damage to the unlucky caster's fingers as the power burns through them. It needs to be grounded, like a huge electrical buildup, and it'll latch upon any opportunity to do so - to be cast like a spell. Any magical sense is blindingly overloaded by the power. The region is saturated with unspent magical power, so much so that you can sense it like the feeling of electricity before a storm. This book is particularly good for rolling random mutations of different (and selective) types, and it works for just about any traditional sort of RPG. It's like a magic item (sometimes a curse) that doesn't require atunement and never goes away. If they spend far too much time in the badlands or they interact with something they shouldn't, roll on a mutation table and give them a permanent mutation. Make character mutations a part of the game. Perhaps intelligence and strength scores have become switched, or healing magic no longer works, or everything in the region can fly at their movement speed. Roll on a table to shift the fundamental 'laws' of reality. Reality has subtly shifted in some areas. Roll tables to see if it rains fire today, or if the desert sands turn into snow overnight. The weather and terrain is utterly saturated with uncontrolled magic. Maybe a pack of goblins has acid breath, or a werewolf is only vulnerable to holy water instead of silver, or completely switch the 'skin' of the creature with something else, or maybe the party encounters a talking gelatinous cube that happens to be both a wizard and a friendly merchant. Roll on a table to add a special ability, passive, or effect to a creature, or just come up with something fun on the fly. Maybe they end up on a completely different part of the world, maybe the sun and moon become 'frozen' in the sky for weeks at a time, maybe a landmark the looks like it was just an hour's journey away takes a month to reach.Ĭreatures have become mutated from extensive exposure in the badlands. Roll on a table to see how long they spend going how far. Art directed by award-winning comic book artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Beneath a Steel Sky is widely considered as one of the best point and click adventures ever written.Time and space becomes warped, distorted.

It’s a terrifying threat that only you can liberate… Maybe.įeaturing Revolution's Software innovative Virtual Theatre system, Beneath a Steel Sky is a gripping cyberpunk science fiction point and click adventure game. Strangers in a strange land, Foster and Joey must survive long enough to discover the sinister truth behind his abduction - why they specifically came for him - and defeat the evil before it’s too late.

In the melting pot of Union City, a not so impossible future, mankind’s worse nightmares are waiting to emerge from beneath the steel sky.

Foster soon resurrects Joey and together they find themselves in Union City, where oppressed citizens live and work in soaring tower blocks, under the strict control of a brutal, fascist, AI dictatorship – whilst the corrupt, covetous and rich live below, shielded from the choking pollution. After being brutally abducted from his village in the wasteland, his village obliterated, and his kinfolk butchered, Robert Foster escapes a helicopter crash and finds himself alone save for the circuit board of his best friend, Joey, the AI he built as a child.
