Behind the scenes of IMPERIUM5: a world of lost memories
From the first pyramid sketch to the ReBorn 0 starter kit, a look back at how a setting is made.
IMPERIUM5 started from an image: a fighter facing a ruined pyramid, and the feeling that the world had forgotten why she was fighting.
A world that remembers badly
The ReBorn 0 kit was built as a way in: one evening, four ready-to-play characters, and enough to carry on afterwards.
Taking the time to set the scene, name the characters and let everyone settle into the tone of the game avoids many misunderstandings later on.
A good scenario fits on one page: a situation, a few characters who want opposing things, and a place where everything can tip over. The rest is played at the table.
