The Everlasting is a role-playing game created by Steve Brown of Visionary Entertainment Studios Inc in the 1990s. The system has four core books: ''The Book of the Unliving'' (1997); ''The Book of the Light'' (1998); ''The Book of the Spirit'' (1998); and ''The Book of the Fantastical'' (2004). There are also two supplement books available for the game: ''The Codex of Immortals'' (2004); and ''The Magician's Companion'' (2004). The Everlasting is based on several immortal races who struggle with an unknown force. Since Hiroshima and thereafter Tchernobyl, many seals are broken and "something" is coming. These immortal races span a wide range of mytholocial beings from societies around the world. Steve Brown had done extensive research on these various types of mythological beings and incorporated different ideas and concepts from the different societies that these mythologies originate from. As an example, he included many different types of Vampires from varying cultures around the world. Among the varying creatures and beings that players can take on the roles of in this RPG are the following: *Angels *Daevas *Dead Souls *Djinn *Dragons *Dwarves *Elves *Faeries *Gargoyles *Ghuls *Manitou *Orcs *Osirians *Possessed *Questers *Reanimates *Revenants *Vampires *Wer This RPG also heavily stresses the development of each players own personal mythology, and encourages developing a meaningful and interesting story (to a degree beyond what is seen in most paper and dice RPG's). In fact this goes as far as referring to the characters being played by the players as "Protagonists" and any creatures or other beings and humans that they must struggle against as "Antagonists" similar to what is commonly seen in literature. Visionary Entertainment Studio Inc. has just recently reprinted the Book of the Unliving in Hardback with color graphics. Actually, in March 2009, the VESI website is under rebuilding. The Website as of 12/3/12 is still down. ==External links== *(Everlasting at Pen & Paper ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Everlasting (role-playing game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
