Welcome to Oz!
An Oz where Witches with
extraordinary magical abilities vie for power against a steamtech based
Emerald City, lead by the Wizard himself. But who has the right to rule
all of Oz? Does might make right?
All of the familiar
characters from the Land Oz are in Oz: Dark & Terrible, with one
exception. The Scarecrow is an Anidum; a creature containing a person's
soul that has been transplanted into a mannequin, while the witch
responsible walks around in the Husk with all its memories. The Tin
Woodsman is a retired member of the Wizard's "secret service", the Tin
Men, who ensure the citizens of the Emerald City remain loyal to their
ruler and are willing to use whatever means necessary to achieve their
goals. The Cowardly Lion is a disgraced exile from his rightful kingdom
after his father betrayed the other Animals in a catastrophic battle
against Blinkie, the former Wicked Witch of the South, who refuses to be
like other Carnivores who eat the hearts of Humans to gain lycanthropic
powers.
The exception is Dorothy. She never went to
Oz...yet. You play the role of an Outsider. Or, you can play a native of
Oz, be he a mutated Munchkin, tribal Quadling, or even an Automaton, a
sentient clockwork machine, among dozens of other possibilities.
Oz: Dark & Terrible is based on the Land of Oz created by L.
Frank Baum. But we have taken Oz in a direction never before seen.
