Cortex Prime

What is Cortex Prime? Imagine a world-building tabletop RPG system where you and your players choose the genre, build the game, and forge the story from a set of modular rules mechanics. Cortex Prime helps you create a one-of-kind experience tailored to the way you and your friends like to play to bring to life an experience you will never forget.

Cortex Prime is a multi-genre, modular, session-centered roleplaying game. It’s based on the same underlying rules system previously used in several award-winning RPGs based on comic books and television shows. These games were different from one another in ways both major and minor, yet the heart of Cortex was evident through all of them. With the Cortex Prime Game Handbook, you have the tools and resources to create your own custom-built game using a myriad of switches and dials.

Concept

This is a straightfoward 1-2 session fantasy, monster hunting adventure set in the world of Streets of Avalon, created by Brett Bloczynski. We'll be using a simple build in Cortex Prime to showcase some of the main features of the system.

Aim

A creature has been terrorizing the PCs neighborhood and it's up to the PCs to stop it. Players will need to investigate, do some research and finally find a way to defeat the creature. Through play, some of the features of Cortex Prime will be highlighted and explained.

Tone

Cortex is a very narrative and cinematic system, and the sessions will be as run as such (i.e. TotM). This game is for those that the main interest is to learn about Cortex, so please keep low expectations. This will not be a grand or complicated story. I will try to incorporate as many features from Cortex Prime as the story needs.

Subject Matter

We will create characters in the beginning and then jump into the adventure on that first session. If we need to do another session to finish, please make sure that you can commit to it. Also, be aware that there is a possibility that this game will contain violence, blood and gore. If that is something that makes you uncomfortable, please do not apply. Player safety is of the utmost important.
