✦ Synopsis

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.
