Animus

ADD TO WISHLIST >

ANIMUS—just the name strikes fear into the hearts of princes. Some think them no more than a group of thugs who extort money out of noble families with lurid tales of murder. Others have lost priceless artefacts and sensitive documents, only to have ANIMUS auction them to the highest bidder. A few have found friends and family members dead, despite thick walls and attentive guards, only to hear that ANIMUS claims responsibility.

In truth, ANIMUS is all of these things and none at the same time. Formed by an alliance of the thieves guilds in Venice, Florence, Turin, and Milan, ANIMUS soon started stealing secrets as well as riches. With a range of secrets, a network of runners and riders who can get information from one city to another faster than anyone else, and a thoroughly pragmatic attitude towards the use of assassination to effect social change, ANIMUS is a shadowy faction that fancies itself the power behind the throne, using its spies and assassins to place the right people in the right places.

ANIMUS would have it easy, were it not for other shadowy factions. As far as anyone knows, the Midnight Hand are Satanists, sowing murder and chaos in the name of their dark lord. Hrefn steal and kill to ease the way for their own members to take the reins of power, shaping the world in their image. And every city-state has merchant-princes who want power for themselves. Some retain the services of ANIMUS, or a local competitor, while others keep their spies in-house.

ANIMUS is:

The first BLACK SEVEN genre pack. Each genre pack tailors the rules to best suit a given set of inspirations. For ANIMUS, that’s the genre of spies, assassins, and thieves in the warring city-states of Renaissance Europe.

13 pages of new rules and tweaks to make BLACK SEVEN play more like Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, and Thief: The Dark Project.

Creative Commons licensed, so one purchase feeds the gaming needs of a whole group. If you like it and got it for free, I hope you buy it.

Multiformat, including the rules and a sample adventure in PDF, ePub, and Kindle format, and a host of PDF reference sheets—including a business-card sized Agent Record.

Requires a copy of BLACK SEVEN to use.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
