Variant Souls - Competitive Narrative Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

For millennia, two parallel worlds have existed in sync with one another, divided by subtle lines, each safe from the meddling of the other side. However, a conflux between these worlds draws near, and it falls to you, a member of an ancient and secret order, to take up arms and fight for the world’s future.

In Variant Souls, you will take on the role of a hero or villain, a member of an ancient order that wishes to drive the world towards peace or ruin. Using your wits, your supernatural powers, and whatever mystical relics you can acquire, fight to save your world from the control of the other side and claim the future for your own. 

But beware, because your Alternate Persona from the other side has other plans and supernatural powers that darkly mirror your own.

Variant Souls is a Competitive Narrative Game, which means you will take traditional RPG-style narrative actions to advance your character and achieve your goals. However, not everyone is on your side, and there is no Game Master to guide you. Only the most cunning can win!

Variant Souls is an action-packed Competitive Narrative Game for 6 to 11 players, featuring secret teams, daring conspiracies, and a mystical arms race between two player-controlled factions.

Includes:

  • Game Rules Book
  • Double-sided Game Map
  • 43 Large-sized Role and Relic Cards

Requires five or more 10-sided dice, plus scrap paper and pencils. Rules, role cards, and game maps included.

OVERVIEW

Variant Souls is a competitive narrative game. The game takes the form of a story told by several players, each in control of their own character, as they participate in a secret war to control the fate of the world. The goal of the game is victory for your side (or yourself) but the true aim is to create an incredible story that will live on beyond the game table.

In the game, you will take on the role of a hero for either good or evil, and set about performing actions which bring you closer to your team’s goal. Each role that serves good or evil has a parallel role on the opposing side. If one side has a master of fire, the other possesses a master of ice. If one has a paladin of light, the other boasts a dark knight. Your Alternate is your mortal enemy and your match in combat. Only one of you will be victorious in the coming war.

You will not know who is on your side, but you will know what goal you and your allies share. You will commit actions that bring you closer to this goal, building strengths, acquiring advantages, and working together to move closer to victory.

At some point, one side or the other shall achieve their goal. At that moment, all secrets will be revealed, victory will be claimed, and the fate of the world will be decided.

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.
