Age of Decadence - a Turn-Based RPG in the Fallout Tradition

Since you asked, I'm going to pimp Age of Decadence, a turn-based RPG influenced by classic titles such as Fallout and Planescape: Torment. Here's a PR blurb from the main site:

The Age of Decadence is an isometric, turn-based, single-player 3D role-playing game set in a low magic, post-apocalyptic fantasy world, inspired by the fall of the Roman Empire. The game features a detailed skill-based character system, non-linear gameplay, multiple skill-based ways to handle quests, choices & consequences, and extensive dialogue trees.

And from an interview at RPG Vault:

You can play The Age of Decadence in many different ways - fight your way through the game; walk in shadows, looking for less traveled roads like rooftops, walls, and locked doors; use the power of persuasion and personal magnetism; let your faction open doors for you - "Why didn't you tell me you were with the Corleone family?"; or play as a con artist, impersonating other people and preying upon the gullible.

What kind of gamer will it appeal to? Most likely to those who feel that role-playing games could use some role-playing these days, and that there are other things one should be able to do in an RPG other than killing things that exist for no other reasons but to be killed.

Looks cool... We'll have to talk to them.

Whenever you're ready, costik.

@baby arm. I dunno what I would do without you and your heroic efforts to spread the word.
:salute:

Age of Decadence does look cool.

All I need now is a System Shock 2-type game and high quality Thief campaigns (both of which I'd buy in a heartbeat), and I'm set for a month or two. Chuck in an Ultima style RPG and my gaming needs are sorted for a few months.

Playing Morning's Wrath and Laser Squad Nemesis atm: awesome so far..

Good to see Manifesto up and running, Greg. :)
