Shadows of Esteren: A Transmedia Adventure

Music has always been a big part of our transmedia approach. Since 2011 we have released three albums. An eclectic mix of artists have contributed to these albums, each with their own interpretation of the Shadows of Esteren universe: dark ambient for the first (Of Men and Obscurities), symphonic for the second (Dearg), and at the same time contemplative and electric for the third (Rise).

The Esteren Tour began in 2010, spanning many different conventions and including several concerts that unquestionably stand among the greatest and most moving moments of the Tour.

2017 will see the release of our fourth album: ADELIANE. In order to introduce this new album, the 2017 Tour will include three concerts: one in France, one in England, and one in Germany.

   

Shadows of Esteren concert at UK Games Expo on June 3rd 2017 in Birmingham

The first concert will take place in Birmingham, during UK Games Expo, on Saturday, June 3rd at 8 PM. It will be a very special event!

For two hours, a ten man orchestra will play our new album, ADELIANE, with François Rousselot as the conductor.

François Rousselot is a French conductor and compositor. He composed the original soundtrack for Monsieur Hublot, winner of the Oscar for best animated short film in 2014. He was the conductor for the DEARG concert in 2013, and has composed several of this new original soundtrack’s pieces.

For this new album, we will look for melancholy and beauty.  Our main inspirations will be Agnes Obel, Philip Glass, and David Darling.

See you in Birmingham

It will be our great pleasure to see you at UK Games Expo, which we will be attending for our fifth year in a row. Feel free to come to our booth and get your books signed! And from 8 PM on Saturday, June 3rd, we’ll meet again for what will certainly be a memorable evening!

Occultism is on DrivethruRPG

Our new release, "Occultism", is available on DrivethruRPG!

This Shadows of Esteren add-on, intended for Game Leaders, focuses on occultism. Who are the representatives of this strange science? How are they organized? What do they seek? Beside the mystical powers of the Demorthèn and of the priests of the Temple, is there another source of supernatural power? In exploring these questions, the Characters will face mysteries that may shake their innermost convictions!

Contents include:

• Occultism in Tri-Kazel

This introductory chapter is a complete overview of occultism in Tri-Kazel. Leaders will find many details about the skills of occultists, the forbidden arts of sorcerers, or the mysterious visionary powers of mediums. New Disciplines are introduced, as well as additional rules on sanity.

• The Circle of Emergence

The second chapter describes a characteristic occult organization: its modes of operation, its objectives, and its core members. Whether the Circle of Emergence is intended to become the PCs’ patron or their mortal enemy, this game aid is certain to be valuable for Leaders who wish to bring occultism to the forefront of their campaign.

• A Tidy Room

When a young girl from a low-class district, enchanting and beloved by all, disappears, the locals are in a commotion. Searches are quickly organized: people comb through vacant lots, back streets, and dumping grounds. Even the sewers and canals are explored over the course of several days... to no avail. “A Tidy Room” is a large scenario written by Iris that will confront the Player Characters with occult and supernatural dangers. It comes with many game aids, including a comprehensive description of the scenario’s locale: the Weavers’ District, a perfect setting for any game in an urban environment. Finally, two new creatures are included: the Bogeyman and the Diwelank.

• The Map of the Weavers' District

A colored map showing the district where the « Vengeful Words » adventure is set.

• A Set of Game Aid Sheets

A dozen of colored game aid sheets for the adventure, included in this supplement. Some Clue Cards and technical sheets which will allow Leaders and Players to optimize their gaming experience.
