Description
Perdition’s Mouth is essentially a dungeon crawl adventure style game set within a campaign-style collection of scenarios, but it does have very strong role-playing elements that materialize in the different styles in which each character plays in. This is due, predominantly, to the wide variety of skills and abilities each possess. Clever mechanics govern the non-player characters, negating the need for a ‘dungeon master’ role and bookkeeping for the heroes has been streamlined to alleviate the need for constant notation so frequently found in true RPG games.
The Roundel: What must be considered the central focal point, around which all game actions literally revolve, is the Roundel mechanic. Two action Roundels dictate what actions become available, turn by turn, to both the group of intrepid heroes and to the wide variety of unspeakable foe that lurk within the dark shadows. Careful thought for each action a hero takes is crucial, as future actions are heavily influenced by each decision. Limited slots for available actions force the heroes to collaborate and draw upon their unique abilities to best utilize their skills for the good of the party.
The game is suitable only for experts and requires a lot of time to read the rules. However, those who meet these criteria will have a lot of fun with this game! Seriously, this game is amazing, you just need to invest a lot of time to understand it.
