Welcome to Dunwall “How you use what I have given you falls upon you, as it has to the others before you. And now, I return you to your world, but know that I will be watching with great interest.” The Dishonored tabletop roleplaying game transports you to the Empire of the Isles and beyond, to the conspiracies and machinations of its political class, religious sects, and populist factions. Creating original characters and playing a story of assassins, duelists, explorers, and scholars, you can forge your destiny and even touch the Void. Dishonored presents a grim, merciless world, of toil and working-class strife, and glistening regency halls. • A complete set of streamlined rules, including character creation, combat, and equipment, that enable you to roleplay and explore the world of Dishonored using a fastpaced version of the 2d20 System.

• Information and rules for channeling the power of the Void and the mark of the Outsider, utilizing bonecharms, and powers gifted to you by the Outsider.

• Extensive chapters describing the setting of Dishonored: the city of Dunwall, the port city of Karnaca, as well as the islands of Gristol, Morely, Serkonos, and Tyvia.

• Developed in close consultation with the original designers at Arkane Studios, and the 2d20 rules development team.

INTRODUCTION Dishonored represented a rare opportunity, giving us the chance to work together with a mix of talented people in a genre we truly love. The game falls into territory we’ve always striven to reach, a magical blend of crafted storytelling and improvisational gameplay made possible through simulation. We’re proud of the resulting game, but working on the project itself was also an experience that marked our lives forever in the best possible ways. Dishonored was a special project, influenced by our favorite stealth games, first-person shooters, and role-playing games. In addition to the combat, stealth and mobility mechanics, the collaborative design of the world will always remain a moving creative milestone for the people involved. We are deeply grateful to the team that made Dishonored and all those who supported our efforts, including our families and friends. Lastly, we’d like to thank the players, who transported themselves to Dunwall and who continue to enrich the place through their participation. —Raphael Colantonio and Harvey Smith February, 2014
