We return to the Cage

Sword Saints: Neology offers a new way to play the Sword Saints RPG, empowered by the Superfantasy game framework. Become a self-created demigod of swords, a Dream in Blood, and take the fight to the soul-crushing Autarchs, rulers of a sprawling omnitropolis known as the Cage.

Sword Saints: Neology is built for fast-paced and over-the-top action, freeform superpowers that encourage you to solve problems creatively, and exploring a strange and oppressive science-fantasy dystopia. The Saints are functionally immortal, but they change over time, losing memories and gaining new ones. Each time you're Shattered, you create a new body for yourself and start your war against the Cage all over again.

Features

  • A light-weight system based on pools of 6-sided dice.
  • A system for creative superpowers based on Jon East's EMPOWER.
  • A science-fantasy dystopia familiar to fans of the subgenre, but with plenty of its own surprises.
  • A setting built for telling found-family stories of powerful yet fragile characters.

The Book of the Cage contains a full primer on the setting's details, while all game rules are found in the NEOLOGY book.

Hi! I just picked this up, and I'm loving the setting and system. However, I'm having trouble imagining the kinds of adventures/missions/quests/challenges the players would deal with. Do you have any example scenarios or actual play records? Or any suggestions on how to generate plots?

Is this going to one day get a physical release?
