OFF-BEAT IDEALS
A downloadable game
Off-Beat Ideals is a supplement for the Powered by the Apocalyse version of EIDOLON: Become Your Best Self written and designed by August Orion. They are one half of a two person indie ttrpg outfit called Witchbreak, which you can learn more about here. Eidolon was written by Molly Rhinebeck and Luke Varner, it is a game inspired the manga and anime series, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and the j-rpg series, Persona.
It includes an alternate Face Death Move, Greatest Hopes: an additional method for gaining exp, B-Sides: a mechanic allowing bearers to awake alternate versions of their Eidolon and, the five following playbooks:
Conjurer: Submerged in the psychic energies of the Undertow, this bearer’s Eidolon acts as a portal for denizens of that hidden realm. Shades of all different forms and shapes crawl into the mortal realm at their whim. Like any other Eidolon ability, it takes some courage and cleverness to master this summoning power.
Weaver: This bearer has an oracular connection to the concept of Fate itself, allowing them to draw insights from the past and future. With careful practice, they can twist and weave these strands into miracles, though this force doesn’t take too kindly to those who abuse their gifts.
Daredevil: Lively and reckless, this bearer for one reason or another cannot manifest an Eidolon. Being the normal one when everyone around you have kickass soul powers means getting your shit rocked daily. But that doesn’t stop them from rushing into fights and protecting their friends the best they can.
Sovereign: Born to a dark legacy, the Sovereign has never wanted for anything and yet hungers for more. Power, wealth, blood, or followers - whatever it is they are never satisfied for long. Perhaps expanding their rule will satiate the hunger roiling through them.
Rookie: Young and naive, this Eidolon Bearer isn't quite ready to face themself, let alone the world. As a result, their ability has only partially manifested and it strains them to use it. Despite that, they're sure going to give their damnedest trying to show everyone what they can do.
If you're interested in this supplement but don't know about Eidolon, you can find the game and the complete first two seasons of its actual play playtest, Eidolon Rock and Eidolon Pop here
