Monte Cook Games is thrilled to announce its next big tabletop roleplaying game:
The Strange! Written and designed by Bruce Cordell and Monte Cook,
The Strange is a game that crosses multiple worlds, called recursions, which player characters can explore and defend. In
The Strange, your characters change with each world they travel to, taking on new aspects suited to help them function in that recursion's unique laws and structures. But dangers found in these recursions threaten not only characters, but also our very own Earth. If characters persevere, however, they can not only save themselves and Earth, they may even gain the ability to create a recursion of their own!
If you enjoyed the inspiring scope of games like
Planescape,
Gamma World, or
Numenera, or mind-bending scenarios like Moorcock's Eternal Champion series, the TV show
Fringe, or movies like the
Matrix, you're going to love
The Strange.
We've assembled a great team to work on
The Strange. In addition to Bruce and Monte, the exceptional Shanna Germain will serve as lead editor, and she's developing some amazing concepts both for the game and the presentation of the material. Superstar artist Matt Stawicki serves as the lead artist. He's working with us to create a unique visual look for the setting. But we'd love to see you join the team too, either as a backer, or even a contributor (see the backer levels for more information).
