About
Tales of Entropy is a story game for 2-6 players. Each player takes a central role in depicting a dramatic scenario that sets the scene for murder and romance, friendship and conflict.The central characters are set against each other from the start, but it is up to the players-and the dice-whether the tense starting situation spirals into chaos and destruction or a blaze of glory at the end. The game is based on a pre-written scenario, on top of which the players build a rich tapestry of content according to their own vision, creating a unique play experience.Each playthrough takes around 2-3 sessions, about 10 hours of playtime. You can play one of the many scenarios created by the other players, or write your own, it is easy and fun. You can send your work to be included in the online scenario database and share your ingenuity with the world.The game book includes ten scenarios ready to play out of the box: Want to tell a tale of power, war and love from the Viking Age, or experience an adventure of Sherlock Holmes in the exotic Limehouse? How about joining a struggling rock band near a breakthrough in the 90s, or defending a child with special needs against an obsessive FBI agent. The choice is yours. Petteri's interest towards speculative fiction started at the ripe age of eight, when he found out about Tarzan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and thus entered a lifetime of reading dashing adventures in far away, even impossible locations. In his teens he started to play tabletop roleplaying games, a hobby that has strongly influenced his writing. He dabbles with both playing and designing games.Petteri's writing is heavily infuenced by pulp fantasy writers such as Robert E. Howard, as well as Finnish myths and legends of old, but he doesn't shun away from science fiction either. He continues to write in various projects, which consist of a roleplaying game called "Tales of Entropy" and a project "Writing with Games", a venture in combining story-gaming with fiction writing.Petteri is a software designer by trade. He lives in Jyväskylä, Central Finland with his family and enjoys martial arts when he has time in his busy schedule.
