Betmal - The Gate of Trishula

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Betmal, Game of Souls is the game of the afterlife. Betmal is a world of potential and will, a place where anything and everything is possible if one has the time and the willpower to see it through to completion.

The Gate of Trishula introduces the new 4-Point System method of gaming in a comprehensive primer that covers combat, effigia, an explanation of a starting character and rules for healing.

In addition, the first four major castes are introduced:

The Azazim, the warrior-soul who uses the power of his own will to subdue his enemies.

The Anchorite, the hermit who through meditation and self-reflection builds the strongest armor of all – his own disbelief in others’ power.

The Effigiati, the architect of all of Betmal’s dreams and nightmares.

The Sekretu, the manipulator of sensation, the snake-charmer of emotion and longing.

The Gate of Trishula places four starting pre-generated characters into the following scenario:

The Shon travelers of Sahana Karana have held their vast territory for ages. Now the Despicio have come and taken half of the land for themselves, including the Gate of Trishula, a returning-place for souls coming home from the Game. It was difficult enough to watch so many comrades get taken by the Despicio and enslaved by them, but now one of their closest friends has been captured, and put to work in the nearby clockwork city, Zeithim. If the characters don’t retrieve Aaron soon enough he may be reduced to raw quintessence in one of the horrible ergastulums.

The full bookmarked 162-page pdf includes a text-only rules primer, character sheets, full-color maps, plain hex grid for printing and an excerpt from the fictional piece, Blur of Shadows.

This is a hard one to wrap my mind around; it has the surreal elements of games like Nobilis and Polaris, with occasional tiny touches reminiscent of the more redeemable parts of Wraith: the Oblivion. For your 25 cents you get a lavishly illustr [...]

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.
