Electric Bastionland

Description

Welcome to the weird and wonderful underground city of Bastion, where debt drives adventure and every failed career leads to treasure hunting! This brilliant RPG book delivers rules-light storytelling where your character’s financial failures become the perfect catalyst for delving into the mysterious Deep.

Electric Bastionland

Electric Bastionland is a complete roleplaying game that throws you into the bizarre industrial metropolis of Bastion. You play failed entrepreneurs drowning in debt, forced to venture into the mysterious Underground to salvage your fortunes. It’s the expanded successor to the cult hit Into the Odd.

The book features stark black and white illustrations that perfectly capture Bastion’s weird Victorian-industrial atmosphere. Chris McDowall’s art style gives every page a gritty, almost xeroxed feel that matches the game’s underground aesthetic. The rules are elegantly simple – character creation takes minutes, and you can learn everything in one session.

This belongs firmly in our Roleplaying Games section alongside other innovative indies. Electric Bastionland strips away complexity to focus on exploration, problem-solving, and the absurd situations that arise when desperate people venture into dangerous places.

Time to gather the party and venture forth!
