DEGENESIS: IN THY BLOOD

104 Pages, Full Color

WHEN BAPTISTS DIE

ITB-02.jpg

The Baptist Altair is dead, killed in Lucatore, an Anabaptist stronghold in the Purgan Alps. Yet this mountain village is much more than a crime scene, it was his seat of power. Here in the mountains, his stellar rise through the ranks of his Cult began. Someone has to shoulder the inhuman task of unraveling the coil of guilt, hatred, and upheaval that Lucatore has become tangled in.

Ignoring the mourning period, the Cults send an independent commission of investigators across the Alps. There, they are welcomed the Purgan way. Unfriendly looks, locked doors, faces gazing into emptiness without saying a word.

The members of the commission will have to quickly find a way to stay afloat. Otherwise, they will drown in this flood of conspiracy and resentment. Welcome to Lucatore!

I started playing Degenesis directly DMing it, and the first adventure was ITB. This great book serves as a launching (and complex) adventure, if you want more challenges than those you are used to deal, or if you want to show a sneak of what is about DG world. The story is great and every character you could find, has it´s own personal paper on the general plot.
This book dives really into Purgare, and help you to discover how is the idiosyncrasy of it´s peolple, the geography of the town and it surronding, it´s politicial influence, and etc etc.
The final phrase is: It´s a Must Read if you want to know more about Degenesis´ world, and if you play Degenesis you always want to know more!

This adventure should not be the first one your PCs play. Run the rules book adventure at first and find a another before you send them to Purgare. Because it takes blood and guts to survive and understand what's going on there. We have played this one last year and it was really a great time. As usual reading it is almost as good as playing it. And graphics are great. And now it is almost free ? Give those 5 bucks they will be well invested.
Anyhow I am sure you will want this book in your hands. Just for the sake of taking a look at it on the shelf time to time. Degenesis one of the best games ever.

You are right. All the adventures of the sourcebooks should be well prepared with smaller quests beforehand. That gives you time and oportunity to give your players a feeling for the people and cities they are currently visiting. You can then use the books adventure to play a story in a bigger scheme. The source books have a lot of plot hooks that provide plenty of ideas what to play before the main events of each book.

This first small campaign on the Degenesis Rebirth world. A good introduction on the complex and deep world of this RPG for new players or more advanced one.
For GM it's a great book not just for the story that you will read (and play) but also for the setting of the North Purgare (North Italy) with a lot of ideas to custom the campaign or play a complete new story. A great way to discover more on the Degenesis lore.

In thy blood delve into deep human emotions on the rhythm of Gregorian Chants. Under the reign of the Anabaptists, Lucatore is a garden admist a Post Apolyptical landscape. The half warrior, half peasant order is a medieval cast ruling the local clans from their Cloister, dominating the whole town. Competition among clans, faith against reason, family bonds, you won't find any villains here, only vibrants and highly motivated habitants, making for a wonderful setting.

A murder in heaven will take place, and a cascade of events will escalate to dramatic heights. Turn on the Roman of the Rose soundtrack, sharpen your wits, you're ready.

The first book of the Degenesis campaign is a full display of what you can have in this game. Diplomacy, exploration, secrets, growing tension and deadly fights spiced with unforgettable characters (Scirocco is my favorite).
The adventure is wonderful even if you just read it, but it deserve to be played deeply. Just one warning: it's exhibited quite like a linear plot, but the goal is to give to the GM the clear sequence of the events in the timeline. Once the GM knows the motivations of each character, how the events are connected and the related consequences, he must give free action to the players to appreciate the atmosphere of this thrilling adventure.
Moreover the book gives a glimpse of the geographic area of North Purgare, which is usefull if you want to write your own adventure in this region.
In conclusion it's a book you can't miss

First volume of a fantastic trilogy, ITB lays from the start the stones of a monumental work. Investigation, politics, exploration and action, with an ever-present tension and a long crescendo.

The best possible starting point to go inside the amazing Degenesis setting. An investigation that develops into a well constructed plot and a wonderful setting that you can use to develop your own campaign. Also it's the beginning of a great campaign that will drive your player into the complex lore of Degenesis. Buy it!

In thy blood is a perfect introduction mini-campaign or long adventure to the bleak, unforgiving, uncompromising Earth of Degenesis.

Railroady at times taken at its face value, it demands work from the Game Master (use preferred term here) to make Lucatore and its surroundings "habitable" for the player characters. In any case it still stands as one of the most solid pieces of illustrated open world tabletop cooperative narrative experiences that I have ever had.

This is the kind of book you want to read, you want to smell, you want to play and you want to share with everybody who will appreciate it.

But don´t trust me, download it. Read it. Play it. See for yourselves.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
