Long ago, the god of the soil and the goddess of the sea became lovers. Their union created the world composed of number-less islands in an endless sea. Upon these islands other creatures were born from the labors of other gods. These creaturesgrew and learned and prospered for countless generations, sailing upon the welcoming seas. After eons, after the rise andfall of hundreds of empires and kingdoms, Soil and Sea argued and rent the world asunder. The once-welcoming seas nowstranded any that dared travel beyond the sight of land in a gigantic never-ending ocean upon wh ich they died from priva-tion. The once-interconnected islands were isolated, only able to communicate with other nearby islands for a ship neededto keep some type of shore in sight to avoid the terrible fate of those stranded in the Forever Sea. Each island or group ofislands became independent worlds set apart from their brothers. This new and terrible isolation lasted as along as the erabefore it, and many new creatures, new gods, and new peoples were born during the long separation.

Thisageofisolationendedwhenanunidentiedgoddess,allegedlyadaughterofSoilandSea,taughtthepeoplesthe secret of taming elementals to create ships that could navigate through the Forever Sea. She believed that a return totherstagewouldrekindletheaffectionsthatSoilandSeaoncehadforeachother.Unfortunately,thediscoveryofhergift of knowledge was met by anger and rage by all of the gods, both new and old, and she was imprisoned in the sky,transformed into a cloud cursed to move forever against the wind. But the wondrous gift of Obstinate Cloud (as she isnow named by those who tell h er story) could not be undone, and the peoples of the islands began to explore a newlyboundless world in their strange voyager ships.

Worlds ApArt

Worlds Apart is a antasy role-playing game set during a periodo expansion and exploration. For countless centuries, people

were separated rom each other upon their own single landmass,essentially worlds apart. But a recent magical invention, thevoyager ship, ound a way to pierce through the deadly oceansseparating the people, and a giant melting pot o civilizations burst

into existence nearly overnight. Play begins several hundred yearsaer the development o the voyager ship, and great new empires omight and trade have risen rom the rst chaotic contacts. Unlike

most antasy games, Worlds Apart assumes that players will bemost interested in exploration and trade using voyager ships to

travel throughout the Forever Sea. Worlds Apart campaigns tendto revolve around several dierent themes: trading, exploring,military, or mixed.

rading: Te lieblood o all civilization, trade is at the rooto almost all human endeavors, be it a goal in itsel or the source

o wealth that drives art and architecture. Characters engaged ina trading campaign tend to travel along relatively known paths,ocusing on acquiring wealth through more sedate trade ventures.In a campaign ocusing on traveling known paths, politics, intrigue,

and perhaps a little ship-to-ship combat will ll the game as theplayers try to nesse or muscle their way around the larger tradingenterprises and the many political entities.

Exploration: Although voyager ships have been available orquite some time, there is still more terra incognita t hat needs to be

explored. Much o this is on the ringes o the known world, butthere are still pockets o unexplored ocean everywhere. A less usualtype o exploration game involves surveying the interiors o largeand unexplored islands.

Military: Military campaigns are easy to create and run inWorlds Apart. All the players have a similar background and servein a unit together, combating pirates, other armies, or strange

magical races bent upon destruction. Military campaigns can bea lot o un to run and play, so i youve never done so, consider

a military-oriented game you may nd your group ready orsomething new. Mixed: Te traditional Worlds Apart campaign is a mixtureo two o the above options. rading and exploration gives you thegreedy explorers, daringly going out into the Forever Sea searching

or that special island that has that new commodity that will makethem all rich beyond their wildest dreams. rade and militaryeatures the group given orders to orge alliances and trade routesthrough orce and guile, while military and exploration campaigns

ocus on nding new islands and new civilizations, bolding goingwhere no one has gone beore.

Die Rolling ConventionsWorlds Apartuses two six-sided dice or most rolls. Below are a ew

o the conict resolution terms used in the game. Check: o determine i a character succeeds or ails at aparticular task, the player must make a check. o make a check, theplayer rolls 2d6 and adds any appropriate Dice Modiers (such as askill his character possesses or a bonus rom a piece o equipment).

I the total is equal to or greater than the target number or thatcheck, he succeeds. A check will usually have a skill or characteristicassociated with it. For example, a check o Dex 8+ means roll 2d6,add your Dexterity Characteristic Dice Modier, and you succeedi you have a total result o 8 or more. Checks are also sometimes

called throws. Dice Modier (abbreviated to DM): A number to be applied

to a die roll b eore it is used. Dice Modiers are preceded by a sign,which indicates i the number is to be added to or subtracted rom

the roll. For example, a Dice Modier o 2 indicates that two isto be subtracted rom the roll; a Dice Modier o +4 indicates thatour is added to the roll. arget Numbers: In many checks, the player needs to rollequal to or above a specic number (usually, eight or more). Tis is

denoted by a number ollowed by a plus, such as 8+ or 10+. Eect: I the degree o success is important, then subtract thetarget number (typically 8) rom the total o the dice roll plus DiceModiers. Tis margin o success is reerred to as the Eect. Forexample, i roll a 10 on a check with a target number o 8+, you

have an Eect o 2 (108=2). I you roll a 6 on the same check, youhave a 2 Eect (68=2).

Skills

I a character has no level in a skill, then he is untrained and willsuer a 3 Dice Modier when trying to use that skill. Some skillscannot be used i untrained.

I a character has zero level in a skill (Skill 0), then he iscompetent in using that skill, but has little experience. He does

not get any bonus rom his skill ranks when using that skill but heavoids the penalty or being untrained.

I a character has one or more level in a skill (Level 1, Level2, and so on) then he is trained in that skill. Each rank represents

several years o experience using that skill. A character with Level23 in a skill is a skilled proessional in that eld.

Some skills have specialties specialized orms o that skill.A character picks a specialty when he gains level 1 in a skill withspecialties. For example, a character might have Animals 0, al lowing

him to make any Animals skill checks without an unskilled penalty.He might then gain a level in Animals, giving him Animals (Riding)1. He would make all Animals checks involving Riding at a +1 DM,but would make all other Animals checks at a +0 DM. A character

can have multiple specialties in a skill a beast handler might haveAnimals (Riding) 1 and Animals (raining) 2. He would makechecks related to Riding with a +1 DM, checks related to rainingwith a +2 DM and all other Animals checks with a +0 DM.

Not all skills with specialties act in such a manner, however.

See individual skill descriptions or more details on which skillsallow characters to make 0- level skill checks in all specialties andwhich ones do not. Skills that allow 0-level skill checks are termedbroad skills. Tose that do not allow 0-level skill checks are callednarrow skills. Some skills are broad excepting certain specialties.

skills equal to 3 + your Education DM (1 to 5, depending on yourEducation score). Home Isle: Growing up on your home isle gave you three skillsthat depend on the islands nature. You can select one o the skillsthat match your home isles island description and trade codes. I

you came rom an island already established, then consult thosesources or the islands description. I you come rom an islandthat does not provide enough background skills options, select thesecond skill option as well. I that is still not enough, consult withyour GM about what skills are appropriate or your character.

Non-Humans : Tere are dozens (i not thouhuman races in Worlds Apart but only a ew are

as player character options. Te terms used to desshould be viewed as comparative to human norm.human races can be somewhat stereotyped again


5/1710 11

important to remember that, unless otherwise stated, non-humanraces are as diverse and culturally dierent within themselves asmuch as humans are.

Generally speaking, non-human races tend to be superior tohumans. It is recommended that players play humans, but i the

GM allows, the two common non-human races (el and dwar) aredetailed or game play.

Character Generation ExampleBelow is an example o character generation or Worlds Apart.Each section is letter/number coded to match with the Character

Generation Sequence. Creation and First erm: A. Joe decides to roll up a character

and starts with 7 2d6 rolls or the characters statistics. Joe rolls4, 3, 7, 11, 7, 10, 6, and asks his GM i he can arrange his statics.

His GM allows him to do so, and Joe decides that hed like to tryand play a dweomercraeer, so he arranges his characters statisticsto improve his chances. He names his character Bammon andsettles on Strength 6 (+0 DM), Dexterity 4 (1DM), Endurance 7(+0 DM), Intelligence 7 (+0 DM), Education 10 (+1DM), Social

Standing 3 (1DM), Magical Strength 11 (+1 DM).B. Joes GM inorms him that theyll be playing in the Lyart

example sub-sector and Joe decides that his home island isSanshaw because its a High Magic island and hell be able to try or

Dweomercraeer on his rst term. He chooses three backgroundskills based upon Sanshaws trade codes (H, Hm, La, P) and twobased upon his Edu 11: Survival 0, Magic 0, Language (Seso) 0,Agriculture 0, Persuade 0. Bammons native language is Language(Faru) 1.

C1-4. Joe decides to go or Dweomercraeer or his rstcareer. Looking at the Survival and Advancement requirements,

Joe realizes his best chance is to try or Wizard. Joe nails thequalications roll with double sixes and starts his rst career. Joelearns all o the service skills, picking what he thinks Bammon

would be interested in: Magic 1, Magical Language (nigilri) 0,Magical alent (wizard) 0, Magical alent (necromancy) 0, Magicalalent (abjuration) 0, Strength Burn 0.

C5. Since Bammon has an Edu above 8, Joe has to decide i

he wants to roll on the Advanced Education table. He goes withthe Wizard Assignment option and rolls a 5, gaining Magicalalent (any human). Joe decides to swing his net wide and pick upMagical alent (enchantment) 1 as opposed to increasing one othe Magical alents Bammon already possesses. Bammon is very

curious about all types o magic right now, and Joe thinks hed bemore interested in learning broadly, rather than deeply.

C6. Does Bammon survive his rst 4 year terms? He needs anEdu 6+, and Joe rolls a 9. Modied up by his +1Edu DM, Bammoneasily survives.

C8. Next, Joe rolls on the Events table to determine what o

importance happened during Bammons rst term. He rolls an 8:what luck! Bammon meets a member o a non-human race whoteaches him his races magic. Te GM tells Joe hes met an El (the

GM is only using the two sample non-humans and only the el ismagical) and Bammon learns Magical alent (el) 1. Sure, Bammonowes the mysterious el some sort o service in the uture, but howdangerous could that really be?

C9. Aer our years o study, practice, and work, Joe rolls

to see i Bammon advances as a wizard. Bammon is promoted

with an 8 roll and claims the rank o Dweomercraeer. As anApprentice, Bammon learns Magical Language (korora) 1, and as aDweomercraeer he decides to pick up Language (Lyartian) 1. Second erm: E1. (Second erm) Bammon continues withhis Wizardly proession and Joe decides to roll on the Personal

Development table as he eels Bammon has a good range o skills,but some o his abilities are a bit lower than hed like. Joe rolls a6 and gains +1Str. Not a bad result more strength or StrengthBurn! Bammons now has a Strength 7 (+0 DM).

E2. (Second erm) Bammon rolls his second survival roll andbarely squeaks by with a total o 7.

E4. (Second erm) Te second roll on the Events table results ina Lie Event. Joe rolls 16 on the Lie Event table and poor Bam mongains a Rival. Joe decides that Bammon and his elven riend had a

rather serious alling-out and are now on rather unriendly terms.

E5. (Second erm) Bammons advancement roll is an 11 andhe advances to Rank 2. He doesnt get a new title, but he does pickup Science (any). Joe decides that Bammon learns Social Sciences(philosophy) 1. Perhaps this study is related to his new Rival?

Tird erm: E1. (Tird erm) Finding success with wizardry,Joe decides to continue in the same career. For his third term, hedecides to roll on the Service Skills table and gets Strength Burn.Bammon now has Strength Burn 1. At least his earlier gain o a

point o Strength helps although Joe considers it a subpar result.E2. (Tird erm) Bammon rolls his third survival roll and zips

by with a total o 11.E4. (Tird erm) Te third roll on the Events table results in

Bammon giving a lecture concerning necromantic theory rom

which he gains 2 Contacts. Joe decides one contact is an elderlynecromancer whom Bammon impressed, while the second is ayoung illusionist who seemed a bit overwhelmed by Bammonsdetailed lecture.

E5. (Tird erm) Bammons advancement roll is a 10 and he

advances to Rank 3, gaining the title o Master Dweomercraeer.He gains Magical alent (wizard) 2, but since he possesses onlyMagic 1, the gain in rank is transerred to his Magic. Bammon nowhas Magic 2.

Fourth erm: E1. (Fourth erm) Having no reason to change,Bammon continues in Wizardry. For his ourth term, he decidesto roll on the Service Skills table, hoping to learn another Magicalalent. Joe rolls Magical Language (any) however, and Bammonincreases to Magical Language (korora) 2. Another ailure to get

more magical ability, Bammons ourth term begins with a sense odiscontent and disappointment.

E2. (Fourth erm) Bammon rolls his ourth survival roll andpasses with a total o 10. Bammon starts to think that perhaps he

isnt challenging himsel as much as he should.E4. (Fourth erm) Te ourth roll on the Events table results

in Bammon nding a new mentor who pushes him in the rightdirection! Joe decides that Bammon ocuses on necromancy andBammon now has Magical alent (necromancy) 1.

E5. (Fourth erm) Bammons advancement roll is a 7 and headvances once again, this time to High D weomercraeer. He picksup Leadership 1 and starts to eel back in control o his destiny.

Fih erm: E1. (Fih erm) Satised with the last our years,Bammon ocuses again on his Wizardry. For his h term, he

again decides to roll on the Service Skills table, hoping once moreto learn another Magical alent. Joe rolls Strength Burn again, andBammon now has Strength Burn 2. It just tough breaks that hedoesnt have more Strength to burn!

E2. (Fih erm) Bammon rolls his h survival roll andsucceeds with a total o 12. Bammons dissatisaction increases andhes now convinced t hat hes not pushing himsel hard enough. Heeven starts to think about a radical change in career.

E4. (Fih erm) Te h roll on the Events table results in a

magical error. Bammons dissatisaction causes him to stumble hismagical words and now his eyes glow a so purple color. Becauseo this, he gains a +1DM to all his Magical alent (enchantment)checks. Bammons condence in shaken, however, or the outcome

could have been much worse.E5. (Fih erm) Bammons advancement roll is another 7 and

he advances once again, this time to Grand Dweomercraeer. Hegains Magical alent (wizard) 3, but since he possesses only Magic2, the gain in rank is transerred to his Magic. Bammon now has

Magic 3. Bammon eels his capacity or magic growing within him,

but he cannot seem to unlock it as much as he wishes.E6. (Fih erm) Bammons starting to age (hes now 36) and

rolls on the Aging table. Bammon stays in t health, rolling amodied 5.

Sixth erm: E1. (Sixth erm) Bammons dissatisaction hasturned somewhat obsessive. He must gain more magical abilities!For his sixth term, he again decides to roll on the Service Skillstable yet again, hoping to nally learn another Magical alent. Joe

rolls Magical alent (specialty) and Bammon increases to Magicalalent (wizard) 1. Not quite what he wanted, but a denite step inthe right direction.

E2. (Sixth erm) Bammon rolls his sixth survival roll andalmost doesnt succeed with a 6. Hes pushing himsel now, alright.

E4. (Sixth erm) Te sixth roll on the Events table results inanother Lie Event. Bammon stumbles upon a magic item! Joe ailsthe Mag 8+ check however, and Bammon gains an Enemy. Teitem had been previously claimed by another and that other is nowvery, very upset. Joes uncertain what to do here, so the GM decides

that Bammon doesnt even know who hes pissed o. Tatll be aun discovery, wont it?

E5. (Sixth erm) Bammon tries to reach the pinnicle o hiscareer, and rolls yet another 7. He is now rank 6! Teres little real

dierence between rank 5 and rank 6 (one extra Mustering-Outroll), but hes happy to have some serious bragging rights.E6. (Sixth erm) Bammons aging again (hes now 40) and rolls onthe Aging table again, but he staves o old age, rolling a modied 4.

Mustering Out: E7/F1. Joe decides that Bammons done with

his career at the end o his sixth term and the call o the Forever Sealures him to seek adventure. Hes completed 24 years o study andwork and is eligible or many dierent types o benets. He gets amassive 8 benet rolls and applies a +1 to each o those rolls. Below

are Joes eight rolls.

1. Joe rst ocuses on getting some cash, gaininglucky rst Cash roll.

2. Happy with that large amount, Joe rolls on thand gets +1 Mag. Tis pushes Bammons up totoo shabby!

3. Again on the Benets table, Bammon gains a H4. More Benets and another High Passage is gain5. More Benets: Joe rolls +1 End and Bammon

End 8.

6. Even more Benets: another +1End and Bamm9. Hes getting tougher or the adventuring wo

7. Second to last roll and Benets are chosen agaHigh Passage. Well, at least Bammon wont some island without a ride.

8. Joes nal roll in on the Benets table (that big

rst roll really helped) and he rolls another +Bammon up to End 10. Te old guys hale and

Buy Stu: F1. Bammons got quite a bit o caBammon has no ghting ability, but Joe thinks he

Final Steps: G1. Te GM doesnt have any othup right now, as this was just a test-run or when tgets together, so none o Bammons connections that manner, but when the whole group arrives, Ba

G2. Again, as a test run, there are no Skill Pacbut were the group there, Bammon would gain additional skill or skills.
