Save Reality From Ruin in Gothic RPG ‘MIR’ – LIVE on Kickstarter Now
Hunt deadly incarnations of trauma to protect reality in MIR, an RPG set in a dark world filled with horror and menace.
MIR is a roleplaying game of horror, psychological intrigue, and investigation set in a dark fantasy world. It’s not for the faint of heart; MIR is set in a dark world and contains mature themes. You play as an agent of the MIR, an organization tasked with protecting reality from Echoes, horrifying manifestations of a forgotten age.
Unlike classic fantasy games in which you start as an inexperienced character, MIR will have you begin your adventures as a skilled, elite agent. However, your powers come with a dilemma. Give in to the temptation of using them too often and you risk losing control, unleashing the very evil you seek to fight.
MIR is a game of consequences in which players’ choices directly affect the scenario. Combat is realistic, and the risk of death is always present. Every victory comes at a cost. It’s up to the players to decide if they’re willing to pay the price.
MIR‘s Unique Mechanics
Lead horrifying investigations. MIR uses an original D12 system designed to create interaction and dilemmas. Players roll dice depending on their chosen Path and Skills, attempting to obtain a number of successes—any result between 7 and 12—equal to or exceeding the required difficulty.
As you hunt for the Echos, you can negotiate with and manipulate the factions and dignitaries you encounter during your investigations using the game’s unique Intrigue system. Use forbidden powers called Arts to twist Reality to your liking and fight your enemies.
The narrative dilemma is at the heart of MIR. Its system represents this theme by ensuring players’ choices always have consequences. Some of these consequences can scar and even lead to your ultimate demise. Make decisions and use your abilities wisely.
Every trauma is unique, and so is every hunt. Each scenario has its own mechanics in addition to multiple story branches where death is a constant threat. Contend with Echos, forbidden cults, corrupt lords, or even traitors from within your organization.
