CAIN is at war. 

The worms who lay under Heaven fight meaninglessly 

AGAIN. 

Show them no mercy. 

YOU ARE NO GOD. 


———————————————— 


The Ishmael Protocol is A homebrew project for the CAIN ttrpg by Tom Bloom, it is about war, conflict and is inherently political in many aspects.

including 12 new wacky blasphemies, way more experimental in nature and weirder than most normal blasphemies. This includes the Violent induced CARNAGE, the freedom seeking CYCLE and more. 

Alongside a new virtue, Patience the Cynic, known otherwise as the Mage. An eccentric character with a shop open for business with strange paranormal items. 


For admins, this book is going to include the KAIJU sin, motivated by frustration in not being heard, an alt hunt mode known as “Bounty hunts”, that reward more scrip in exchange of hunting a rogue binder, and five rogue factions that CAIN is currently fighting. Does Under Heaven still exist? 

Will you hunt the white whale?

IN THE FUTURE

i plan to add four more blasphemies, and a "Walk your binder" system,  an unnoficial (pretty obvious) way to have your defeated bounties out on the field with you.

MILESTONES

Im greedy. Gib me ur money. 

* As a download milestone, if there is a good reception to the book , i will keep updating it. something i thought of was making some additional goofy systems involving the bounty hunt, but i did not have the time to finish them. 

* As a reward after the first 100$ made with this book, i will be starting work on a list of optional Bounty hunts for your campaign. They will work as actual side quests, for major characters. for every other 100$ i will add two more hunt to the list. At base, it will have three bounty hunts, for Akechi Tojo, Erase Petrova, and Lupin.

* additionally, those who contact me with proof of payment of at least 10 $ can have their exorcists on the hunt list.

This is some really impressive work! The bounty system is very nice, along with all the interesting lore additions.
The player options are a lot of fun too! Though I'm a little unclear on what Eliminate from Lens does exactly. What impact do the answers of the questions have, and is the base damage just the same as a normal gun shot?

Great work :3  

haiiiiiiii!!!


sorry for the delayed response I had a really long day, eliminate works like other Sabre-like powers that give u a buff depending on the answers, I believe I am making it clearer in 1.2

Thank you for the reply! 
I'll look forward to seeing 1.2 whenever it's ready! 

Where can I read more about the peace treaty mentioned in the book?

its in a lore doc i wrote for myself, in the updates that are coming up i will prolly mention more abt the peace treaty of Clemens, but bottom line is
 - all the factions that existed at the time (satan, morningstar, the old wielder of War and CAIN) except mother brigitte attended  and agreed to a cease fire in the 18 hundreds.

I really loved seeing this book, seriously you have no idea what it was like to see Getúlio Vargas as an example of a penguin and share it with everyone on Discord.

I really love the references to Gory Unto Them and the Harpocretes Dossier

The Peakmael Protocol.
The Binder Hunt system is one of the greatest additions to the Admin side of CAIN since GFF3's Perfect Sins. The lore is super fun and the aesthetics is gorgeous - maybe my favourite of any CAIN book.
Bravo.
