Atlantis is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) originally published by Bard Games, [1] set in the ancient world before Atlantis sank. It first consisted of three books: The Arcanum, The Lexicon, and The Bestiary, and for this reason was originally called The Atlantean Trilogy or The Atlantis Trilogy.
After Arcanum was released in 2001, two teams started to work on two different games. One team created The Temple of Elemental Evil for publisher Atari which was released on September 26, 2003 . It was lauded for the good implementation of the D&D 3.5 system , but overall it got mixed reviews due to gameplay bugs and a lack of a plot.
The Arcanum is the first book in The Atlantean Trilogy.It includes a role-playing system largely based on the rules for Dungeons & Dragons, [1] but the generic information about the character classes and magic can also be used without the role-playing system, and adapted to another fantasy role-playing system such as D&D or RuneQuest to add an Atlantean flavor to the game.
World of Darkness is a series of tabletop role-playing games, originally created by Mark Rein-Hagen for White Wolf Publishing.It began as an annual line of five games in 1991–1995, with Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Mage: The Ascension, Wraith: The Oblivion, and Changeling: The Dreaming, along with off-shoots based on these.
The process of awakening can be slow or fast, but there are two major ways in which the event may manifest: the Mystery Play (in which the mage's senses blur the real world and the magical symbolism of their awakening) and the Astral Journey (which takes place entirely within a dreamscape of the prospective mage).
Most of these either exist as pre-assigned values as part of character creation, or are derived from one or more of the character's Attributes or Skills. In the Storytelling System, each character has one Virtue and one Vice. A Virtue is some defining quality of a character's personality and an ideal which they struggle to aspire.
