What it is about
The Quickstart puts O.D.I.N. on the table in a single evening. You play agents of an organisation that has been closing the rifts since 1977: places where reality gives way and something comes in that does not belong here. The booklet contains the world on two pages, the quick rules, four ready-made agents and the mission “The House by the Reservoir”. The game master reads the mission beforehand, the players choose one of the four agents, and you explain the rules when they are needed.
What is inside
- The world in brief: rifts, Nexus crystals, cells and Holds, the Codex
