Drows, Demônios e Mary Sues - Nova Aventura
« Online: Maio 06, 2015, 12:52:55 pm »
A Wizards of the Coast acabou de anunciar a nova Mega-Aventura para D&D Next, Rage of Demons. Mais detalhes da EnWorld:



"Today, Wizards of the Coast announced Rage of Demons, the new storyline for Dungeons & Dragons fans coming in Fall 2015. The demon lords have been summoned from the Abyss and players must descend into the Underdark with the iconic hero Drizzt Do’Urden to stop the chaos before it threatens the surface. Rage of Demons is the story all D&D gamers will be excited to play this fall, whether they prefer consoles, PCs or rolling dice with friends.

Following on the critically-acclaimed Tyranny of Dragons and Elemental Evil stories, Rage of Demons will transport characters to the deadly and insane underworld. Rumors of powerful demon lords such as Demogorgon, Orcus and Graz’zt terrorizing the denizens of the Underdark have begun to filter up to the cities of the Sword Coast. The already dangerous caverns below the surface are thrown into ultimate chaos, madness and discord. The renegade drow Drizzt Do’Urden is sent to investigate but it will be up to you to aid in his fight against the demons before he succumbs to his darker temptations.

Dungeons & Dragons fans will have more options than ever to enjoy the Rage of Demons storyline. The themes of treachery and discord in the Underdark are in Sword Coast Legends, the new CRPG (computer role-playing game) coming this fall on PC from n-Space and Digital Extremes. The epic campaign that drives Sword Coast Legends' story forces players deep into the Underdark and continues well after launch with legendary adventurer Drizzt Do'Urden.

For fans of Neverwinter, the popular Dungeons & Dragons-based MMORPG will bring a new expansion – tentatively titled Neverwinter: Underdark – in 2015. The update will see adventurers travel with Drizzt to the drow city of Menzoberranzan during its demonic assault as well as experience a unique set of quests written by the creator of Drizzt, R.A. Salvatore. The expansion will initially be released on PC and will come out on the Xbox One at a later date.

Players of the tabletop roleplaying game can descend into the Underdark in Out of the Abyss, a new adventure which provides details on the demon lords rampaging through the Underdark. Partners such as WizKids, GaleForce 9 and Smiteworks will all support Rage of Demons with new products to help bring your tabletop game to life. To really get in the mind of Drizzt, fans will have to check out Archmage, the new novel by R.A. Salvatore, scheduled for release in early September.

“Rage of Demons is a huge storyline involving all expressions of Dungeons & Dragons, and we’re excited to bring players this story in concert with all of our partners,” said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director at Wizards of the Coast. “I can’t wait to see everyone interact with one of the world’s most recognizable fantasy characters: Drizzt Do’Urden. Descending into the depths won’t exactly be easy for him, and D&D fans will get their mettle tested just like Drizzt when they come face-to-face with all the demon lords.”

Eu posso estar lendo errado. mas me parece mais que o Drizzt Do’Urden  vai ser a estrela da aventura ao invés de ser apenas o npc gancho

No tabletop ele provavelmente vai ser o NPC "vocês me acompanham 'oh estou ferido' avancem e ganhem ou o mundo acaba".

Já nos cRPGs ele provavelmente vai ter os holofotes.

Passei esse anúncio que o Elfo postou por uma breve (e simples) análise lexical (via Textalyser)

Num total de 284 palavras (ou 2963 caracteres) que compõem o texto, adivinhem qual é a palavra mais recorrente? Um doce para quem disser "Drizzt". Com 8 ocorrências (ou seja, mais de uma por parágrafo) ela é palavra rank 1 do texto. Com 7 ocorrências cada uma, seguem "Underdark" e "Demons". Ao menos uma coisa é certa: tá bem evidente sobre o que é o produto.

E o Chris Perkins, um dos editores responsáveis pela Rage of Demons na WotC, já anunciou no seu twitter que a história dependerá da plataforma, e que no RPG de mesa, os personagens serão os protagonistas (li por aí também, mas não lembro onde, que o Drizz seria um personagem jogável num futuro game).

É a WotC tentando fazer engrenar o crossmedia da marca D&D. Vamos ver se dá certo.

Agora, o que me chamou a atenção mesmo foi:

Citar
Following on the critically-acclaimed Tyranny of Dragons and Elemental Evil stories [...]

Aclamado pela crítica onde, cara pálida? Pegando dois exemplos rápidos: no RPG(Board)GameGeek, ela tem 7,2 de avaliação média. E no RPG.net, tanto a Hoard of the Dragon Queen quanto a Rise of Tiamat não passam de 5. Alguém exagerou na dose de autopropaganda...

Saiu a capa da aventura:



E um pouco mais sobre ela:

Dare to descend into the Underdark in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game!

The Underdark is a subterranean wonderland, a vast and twisted labyrinth where fear reigns. It is the home of horrific monsters that have never seen the light of day. It is here that the dark elf Gromph Baenre, Archmage of Menzoberranzan, casts a foul spell meant to ignite a magical energy that suffuses the Underdark and tears open portals to the demonic Abyss. What steps through surprises even him, and from that moment on, the insanity that pervades the Underdark escalates and threatens to shake the Forgotten Realms to its foundations. Stop the madness before it consumes you!

A Dungeons & Dragons adventure for characters of levels 1–15

Curioso ver o nome Gromph Baenre na aventura, eu tinha quase certeza que ele tinha morrido em algum ponto durante a Spellplague, mas ele sobreviveu a ela e é provavelmente o mais antigo  drow vivo em Menzoberranzen. E que me lembre, esse tipo de ato é relativamente ousado para um dos maiores conservadores de Menzoberranzan e um maldito Adivinho ainda por cima.
