Heroes of Azure

Heroes of Azure is about being a hero in a place where evil won but then became complacent giving light to hope. It is an homage to Spelljammer (owned by WotC) - a setting where historic sailing ships take to the stars, cannons and flintlocks go boom, and knights and wizards fight spider slavers and brain eaters in spaaaace. The setting is dark: most are hunted and oppressed by evil aliens, slavery is rampant, and very few places are safe. However, these things shouldn’t be the centerpiece - instead focus on the players being a bright light in the dark and have victories over definite evils.

This game is compatible with FIST. Ships and ship combat is Odd (Into the Odd).
