Here's the background to the Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game if you've not dove into this world before...

"The Assassin Brotherhood has been waging a secret war against their sworn enemy, the Templar Order, for thousands of years. The Templars aim to create a “perfect society” ruled by order and discipline, a goal that is in direct opposition to the ideals of the Brotherhood, which strives to defend the free will of humankind.

A tool for the Brotherhood to regain lost ground in the war is the Animus device, technology stolen from the Templars which allows for the exploration of memories encoded in human DNA. Using the Animus, the Assassin Brotherhood has a chance to locate the Pieces of Eden, extremely rare and powerful technological artifacts left behind by an ancient civilization."

This roleplaying game uses a custom system designed by Max Castellani and Andrea Macchi alongside Francesco Nepitello. The mechanics are called the Match System where you use custom dice (or a digital dice roller in the Assassin's Creed RPG App).

Much like the video game, the mechanics for this roleplaying game are designed to be fast-paced and with a focus on storytelling. You'll have to focus on using one of four stats, Action, Stealth, Wits and Social and players can also use a character's signature traits, gear and more in order to roll additional dice and succeed in your actions.

Taking on the role of a modern day character, you won't always be playing as the same character when you dive into your sessions. You'll be assuming the character of whoever is most appropriate for the setting, allowing you to play as the likes of Ezio Auditore or even Eivor from the Assassin's Creed games.

If you want to give this a go, you can download the Quickstart Rules from CMON right now alongside the App which tracks your players, their character sheets, dice rollers, skill cards, witness cards and more. There is a complete adventure contained within so make sure to check it out and dive into some assassinations!
