WINNER OF THE 2006 GOLD ENNIE FOR INNOVATION Beyond the door we could hear the highway, the cars, the trucks, the roar of freedom. Beyond the door. But the twenty feet between us and the door, between us and the highway... Only the lighter's dying blue flame interrupted that ocean of darkness... where It waited, just where we left It. Slayers is an RPG of mercenaries and monster hunters for hire. Known by locals as Slayers, players wander a haunted city, cursed long ago to expand towards the horizon forever. Slayers help clean out the monsters that infest the alleyways and shadows, and those that the city seems to be manifesting on its own.It's slay or be slain. Better get to work, Slayer.Slayers uses a simple 4+ system to create an action filled session that moves quickly. What sets Slayers apart from other RPGs is its emphasis on asymmetrical combat. Each class in the game uses completely different combat mechanics than the others, allowing the players to have an entirely unique experience at the table.Slayers takes place in The City, an urban sprawl that expands forever towards the horizon. Made of an infinite number of districts, each version of The City will be unique to your table. Exploring and building the setting is just as important as hunting monsters! In the book you'll see examples of some districts and locations, to help inspire your next Hunt.
