The Cursed Sands

          The Cursed Sands is a role play adventure inspired by the Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time™ trilogy (2003). 

          This story has been conceived from some elements of the third opus that remain unexplained to this day. It was then expanded with recurring elements of the saga (items, places, characters, skills, ...) but also with some elements from the actual history of middle east (geopolitical situations, habits and customs, ...). A special attention has been paid to always remaining faithful to the original work, by respecting the atmospheres, the characters backstory, and the overall consistency of the scenario.

          The game system is much simpler and more accessible than most classic RPG, like Dungeons & Dragons so that even people who are not very familiar with the table roleplaying can play it. Several other games working have been taken as references (Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk, Aventures, …) and rearranged to fit the spirit of the original work. This game allows you to play as nine different character classes, each with its specificities, such as the alchemist, the gladiator, or the priest. 

          Everything the game master needs to properly lead a game can be found in the provided documents. A Non Player Character (NPC) generator may help him create a random character met by the players, on the job, simply by rolling the dice and referring to the table, while a large number of creatures from the games and more are gathered in a bestiary. The story is expected to last for about ten hours depending on the ease of the players and the game master.

          Maps can be printed or, displayed via the Roll20 digital interface for a more interactive experience or simply if players cannot be physically present in the same place at the same time, and each map comes with an artwork from the games to help players visualize the environment.
