Living Setting

We want to create this setting with you, hand in hand. That’s why, starting with this Episode 0: the Coatli Stone, your actions will shape the future of this New World.

This concept of “legacy” decisions will be at the core of the first DCA book we’ll release on Kickstarter. The book will contain Episode I: The Eight Omens and Episode II: Cortes’ Ploy of the setting, acting as the origins story of the New World.

The two episodes (campaigns) will be told from opposing perspectives: one from the American side of the clash, and the other from the Spanish point of view.

Eventually, by playing Episodes 0, I and II, your adventures and outcomes will form the groundwork of a future core book of the setting.

How will all this work?
You, as players, will be able to play any and all DCA adventures you want.

We will assign a value (positive or negative) to certain events and the ending you reach. You’ll be able to send your results to us using the forms that you’ll find in each of the adventures (for instance, you’ll find Episode 0’s form at the end of the adventure) and we will compile them.

The aggregated results will shape the future core book of the setting.

Possible outcomes?
The fantasy setting of DCA means that the power balance is very different to that in real life - American cultures have very powerful allies in the shape of Feathered Serpents and more. Thus, the events do not have to mimic those in the real world.

The options are many:
 * Will Spanish colonialists prevail?
 * Will the Conquistadors be expelled from the continent?
 * Will the opposing sides reach a power balance?
