This system makes wonderful use of tables. The companion adds a great Life Path system which creates a rich depth to your PCs(or NPCs). Also gives players new options for classes etc. Dark and gritty with a unique twist on a metaverse in the deep history of the lore. I hope I'm still playing this system in 50 years! Our games have never produced more amazing RP nor have I ever been so invested in my character. Can't wait for the upcoming KS

In addition to a few new classes, the DemonGate Companion adds a complete Life Path system to character generation. This optional component to chargen can really make your campaign shine.

A setting like DemonGate thrives when relationships, geography, and history is integrated into your character concept and the Life Path system makes this happen.

Moreover, it's not mechanically just fluff. Based on your life path, your skills, attributes, or more may be altered (usually improved!) and you may gain an NPC ally or arch enemy.

All this is really fun stuff and I highly recommend the DemonGate Companion.

I am a writer that helped to develop some of the content of this book. I have also been involved with playing and playtesting products of Arcanum Syndicate as well. This is easily my favorite roleplaying game ever developed in its base form, but The Companion adds many great new options on top of the existing base game. The addition of non-combat focused classes offers a different playstyle for those more interested in political, economical, or subterfuge-based campaigns. The Life Path is a random-roller's dream for character creation along with a plethora of new options, and mutations can create even more unique playstyles with the many advantages and disadvantages they bring. I highly recommend The Companion to enhance your Demon Gate experience.

I have been able to read a lot of this release by Arcanum Syndicate, and what can I say besides this is an incredible supplement for a great game. If you are looking for more options for character creation, combat, and much more -- this is your book. Forget D&D, OSR, and other fantasy RPGs, none compare to Demon Gate in my opinion. You will not be sorry you jumped to a fantastically darker ship! Demon Gate is a great RPG, and the Companion is a must have for those looking for more options -- Not to mention are mini campaign. This is a can't miss book.
