Introduction

Backstory

Far to the south in the Matoran Universe, on the brink of the explored world, lies the island called Rangi Motu. Despite its remote location, notoriously bad weather, and resident Skakdi population, the island is still valued as a source of iron and other raw goods. Trade ships usually travel the long distance from the south to the mainland whenever the skies are clear, but for the past few weeks there has been no ships and no word arriving from Rangi Motu. A Matoran research team who went to the island on an archeological expedition has not returned either.

As there has been unrest between them for years over the island's natural resources, the Turaga are worried that the Skakdi may have finally stopped fighting among themselves and instead turned on the Matoran villages. Rangi Motu is the prime source of ore for several forges, and would be extremely valuable for a war-loving species like the Skakdi.

With the war between Toa and Dark Hunters still raging there is definite interest from many parties, but no Toa have been available to go investigate. Instead, the Turaga have gathered several able-bodied Matoran on a small but hardy vessel and sent off on a mission to discover what's going on.

Currently enroute to Rangi Motu, you will be landing shortly; but the wind is picking up, and the sea is rough...

Introduction

About the game

This is a cooperative game set in the BIONICLE universe, where you take on the role of a Matoran sent to a remote island. Your mission: To investigate why the trade routes have gone silent and find out where the missing researchers have gone. During your stay you'll meet new characters, face dangerous situations and vicious enemies, and explore a setting much like the classic BIONICLE islands Mata Nui and Voya Nui. I'll be re-using much of a previous BIONICLE RPG campaign ("The Powers of Old"), this time with a team of Matoran instead of Toa, and a different play format.

The tone of the game will be rather casual, with not too big of a focus on the crunch of complex game mechanics. The rule system used will be Simple d6 (third edition) with a few modifications to fit the BIONICLE setting. It's an extremely simplified system compared to many other tabletop RPGS, and will be used mostly for the sake of introducing some classic dice rolling instead of having the game master decide the outcome of every action.
