Quest: Mask of Heroes

A systemless multiform by John Hughes

The myth is strong.
The myth wants you back.

Being a deconstruction of sorts, of the games we play and why we play them. A seduction of heroes.

It began with a wild rush of adrenalin and almost-forgotten laughter. It became something more. In the game, you find communion. In the game, you believe in who you are.

In 2007, 4R Futures release Quest upon an unsuspecting world. Entering the game, you become heroes of high adventure in a Dark Age Fantasy Europe. And with virtual body meshing and biofeedback, your character mimics your appearance, your feelings, your very soul …

In the Quest, five friends and strangers find exhilaration and purpose for their disordered lives. Then, with the Tournament of Nations, it offers the chance of wealth, fame, and more.

And in the background, an election, an atrocity, a political crisis, and whispers of a new nation.

Quest — it's every game you've ever played.

Quest — create who you are.

Quest — for five everyday disasters.

Genre/setting: Fantasy roleplay/personal and political intrigue.
Rating: R (coarse language, sexual and racial vilification, adult concepts).

This is not a dungeon crawl!
