Kickstarter : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1176616619/shadows-of-esteren<br /><br />Hello everyone,<br /><br />It is a great moment for the whole team who, after several years of work, has the pleasure of seeing the completion of this project: the translation in English of the pen-and-paper role-playing game Shadows of Esteren. All of the members involved are long-standing role-players, and it therefore means a lot to us to have the opportunity to add our own opus to this domain. It is not without emotion that we will now present the result of our work!<br /><br />"Shadows of Esteren is a medieval role-playing game, with an emphasis on the horrific and the Gothic. Drawing inspiration from Celtic myths, this universe has a discreetly fantastic side hidden under a bleak, realistic surface. This world is populated with humans who have to cope with tough daily lives, and face a supernatural threat lurking in the dark. With the focus of its adventures being investigation and survival, Shadows of Esteren is a game that favors an immersive mood and interactions among the Players.<br /><br />This particular atmosphere is drawn from several sources of inspiration: the harshness and romanticism of Mel Gibson’s Braveheart; the universes of Tim Burton, particularly the one of Sleepy Hollow; Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Princess Mononoke; as well as Berserk, the manga by Kentaro Miura. Regarding role-playing, Shadows of Esteren would be somewhere between Ravenloft and Call Of Cthulhu..."<br /><br />Official Website : http://www.esteren.org/shadows_of_esteren/
