Eschalon: Book 2

It’s out. Now.

Eschalon: Book II

Yeah. Been waiting a while for this one.  I know a lot of you have, too.  If you are into old-school PC-style RPGs, with all that depth and open-world exploration, you are in luck.

Familiarity with the first game, Eschalon: Book 1, is not necessary for the sequel. As I understand it, there’s no bringing your character over or anything like that – you start back at 1st level. Gotta keep that training up or you lose it, you know?

Now, you are theoretically supposed to be playing the same character from the first game.  But if you played the first game, your character had to be a male. In this one, he can be a she.  You can either assume that the character from the previous game was actually a sort-of Samus type individual in disguise and was actually a girl all along… or you can assume that in-between games, the main character acquired one of those belts of gender-switching that were all the rage back in the 1st edition AD&D days. Or something. Your fantasy, your call.

So what are you waiting for? Old-school RPG goodness. Go get it. And have fun!
