Adeptus Evangelion

ADEPTUS EVANGELION

Who Ya Gonna Call?

It's like Dark Heresy, but with all the dark brooding angst replaced with... oh.

Adeptus Evangelion is a Dark Heresy modification designed to run games in the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion. You are not required to re-enact the original storyline, but playing psychologically broken characters is encouraged by the system.

Based on the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and inspired by the Shinji and Warhammer40k fanfiction, you can play out all the giant robot fighting and unresolved sexual tension you want with as much or as little incoherent symbolism as your campaign has room for.

The game probably plays better when your players have not watched the show, but with its Angel generation system and helpful sidebars, even the original canon Angels can have tricks up their sleeves your players will never see coming.

If you have questions or comments, the Adeptus Evangelion IRC channel is where most discussion takes place.
