Chapter 1: Wolves In the Field ................ 117

You pause beyond a veil of ﬂ owering vines

and listen to the bickering within the grove.

Another trade agreement gone awry, another

shedding of blood at the borders. You shake your

head. Nothing seems to change. is time, however,

there must be peace. You know that a crisis is coming, one

that will involve these two races—old and new—working

together to save their people. is time, you must interfere.

T HE A RT OF P LAYING F ATE

As Fate, you are part storyteller,

part referee, part set designer, and

part supporting cast. If New Gods of

Mankind were a video game, you would

be the CPU, the scenario designers, the

writers, and the voice actors. Fate’s role is a big

one: If people are bored or frustrated or unhappy,

that is, unfortunately, ultimately your fault. If everyone

is having a good time around the table—and that’s usually

the case—that’s your doing as well and you deserve ample

praise for it.

You step through the green curtain and the two gods fall

silent. You remain silent, but your presence makes those gods

present look at one another as though for the ﬁ rst time. e

conversation begins again, this time civil and productive. You

stand unobtrusively in the background, but all are aware of

your presence.

S TORYTELLER

As a storyteller, it’s your job to come up with adventures

for the player characters to undertake, and then to set the

PCs on those adventures and, along with the players, carry

those adventures through to their conclusions. Like novels

or movies, these adventures have characters; they have

beginnings, middles, and ends; they have protagonists

and antagonists; they have conﬂ ict and challenge. Because

of these traits, people sometimes refer to adventures

as “stories,” and the better your story, the more fun the

game.

As the two gods reach negotiations you slip away, satisﬁ ed. You

are Fate, the caretaker of the heavens, counselor to the gods,

and the presence of something greater. is is your duty to the

gods and the Fire of Creation.

W HAT T HIS B OOK E NTAILS

Once you learn how the gods are formed and what the

setting is like by reading the New Gods Handbook, one

person—you—must learn how to run this game for your

friends. You are the gamemaster, or Fate, and your goal is to

ensure that everyone at the table, including you, is having

a good time. is is not a di cult task; Fate’s job is more

work intensive than that of the other players but most who

run the game ﬁ nd the position satisfying and fun.

Your goals as a storyteller are to:

• Tell a good story. You present a story each time you

introduce an adventure. Published stories, like “Wolves at

the Door” provided later in this book, provide everything

but the characters’ reactions to the situation. If you create

your own adventure, you need an interesting plot and a

“hook” to get everyone involved.

• Make the player characters the stars of this story. e

players’ decisions must matter; their choices are essential

to the plot. You know what’s really going on, but you

have to center it on what the players want to do with their

characters.

In this book you will learn how to be a gamemaster for gods,

the best methods for refereeing the PCs in this setting, and

how to create and run adventures. Everything you need is

here, including a detailed history of the Known World, in-

depth information on the personalities and backgrounds of

the elder gods, and an intro adventure to get you started.

is book also provides plenty of optional rules for set-

up and play, as well as a ruleset for playing New Gods of

Mankind as a boardgame instead of a roleplaying game.

• Add perspective. e characters are part of a whole;

your adventures should remind the players that there

are many exciting things happening in both the Known

World and celestial realm. ey are gods, but not the only

gods, and their corner is not the only place where drama

is unfolding.
