Our take on The Curse of Kubel
The bounce point arrives for players expecting a large, systems-heavy RPG. The premise keeps attention on Magetano's investigation in Kaldesta, so those seeking extensive combat, party management, or a wide-ranging world may find the mystery-focused structure too narrow.
What is The Curse of Kubel?
An earthquake divides Kaldesta, a mountainous commercial region southwest of Asserya, after an archaeological site is discovered there.
Adventurers arrive seeking treasure, but a curse begins infecting them. The Magician's Guild sends its young apprentice, Magetano, to investigate the outbreak. The game follows her effort to uncover what happened in the ruined city, learn more about the adventurers drawn to the area, and reveal the mystery behind the curse. Exploration centers on Kaldesta's northern and southern sections, with the story focused on ruins, investigation, treasure seekers, and the people affected by the curse.
