It contains information about the Forgotten Age-the golden age of magic in Talislanta, of which precious little is known by Talislantans of the New Age. It also clarifies certain of the misconceptions and inaccuracies that may be found in earlier works, providing the reader with a glimpse into Talislanta's dark and mysterious past. For the gamemaster, The Archaen Codex provides a comprehensive overview of Talislantan magical history that can be used to establish a solid foundation for the Talislantan milieu. A wealth of ancient tomes, spells, and enchanted items have also been included, offering a diverse selection of artifacts that may be found in the many ancient ruins that dot the Talislantan landscape. Other useful materials include a descrip- tion of the most common extradimensional entities and a section on lost secrets of the past. For players, The Archaen Codex provides a tantalizing hint of the ancient treasures that may lie hidden among the ruined cities, crypts, and wastelands of the Talislantan continent. Do the fabulous artifacts described within the Lyceum Arcanum's recently unearthed Archaen Codex truly exist, or are they merely the products of legend and hearsay? How many of these artifacts still remain to be discovered, and how many are lost forever? The answers to these and other questions lie buried in the ancient ruins of Talislanta. How to Use This Book Gamemasters take heed: The contents of The Archaen C& should not be readily available to player characters. Rather, PCs must search for this information in the crumbling ruins of ancient cities; in molder- ing crypts, dusty archives, and sealed vaults; in the rotting hulks of sunken vessels; in archaic tombs buried beneath the desert sands or cities frozen in ice; in the arid expanses of the Lost Sea, the towering mausole- ums of Hadjistan, the gilded tombs of Phaedran wizards, and the City of the Dead in Khazad. This book provides clues to the location of these lost secrets. But it is up to you as the gamemaster to determine where or even if these clues might be found. Until the characters succeed in locating the informa- tion for themselves, this material should be considered no more than rumor, its existence awaiting proof by those who are willing to undertake the challenge of exploring the farthest and most desolate regions of the Talislantan continent. To the player characters, we say good luck and good hunting! Author Biography: Stephan Michael Sechi Stephan Michael %chi is the creator of Talislanta. Formerly president and creative director of Bard Games, he now works as a freelance designer, writer, and editor.

Its hktw is as ancient as time, its on** last m an-. " -Hotan's History ofthe World The Forgotten Age spanned a period of many thousands of years, beginning even before the discovery of the orb that brought magic to the Men of Talislanta, continuing through The Great Disaster, and lasting until the founding of the Phaedran Empire. During thIs time, a single tribe rose from humble, primitive origins to become the greatest magicians in all the world: the Archaens. Modem Talislantan scholars have divided the history of the Forgotten Age into seven major periods: the Time Before Time, the First through Fourth Millennia, The Great Disaster, and the Age of Confusion. Records of this long-past time are practically nonex- istent, thanks in large part to the effects of The Great Disaster, the burning of the Library of Badijan, and a handful of similar catastrophes. So,for aspiring Talislantan historians. the fragmented accounts of ancient chroniclers and savants must sufflce as the only primary source materials on this period. As a result, all dates mentioned in the following text are estimates based upon the ancient Archaen calendar. The Tfme Before Tfme Despite the best attempts of Talislantan histori- ans, little is known of this ancient epoch, which stretches back across countless millennia to the beginning of the world. The only evidence of civillza- tion during this period can be found in the desolate land of Khazad. Here, rows of ancient grave markers bear mute testimony to the presence of the Thane, a race of seven-foot tall humanoids who once dwelled far to the north in the unknown land of Thanatus.

  • Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth by Iganon
    Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth By IGanon In the beginning, there was God, all-powerful, infinite, and alone. Craving companionship, God spoke the first words of power and created the Demiurge and was satisfied. The Demiurge, an extension of God, begun to crave more and more, and so spoke the words of power to create millions of genies from its own body. These genies in turn spoke the words of power and plundered the body of God to create worlds and stars without number, creating an entire multiverse. Yet the more the genies took from God, the more God diminished, and what was once all-powerful, and infinite grew weak and limited, having both substance and form stolen. Not content with stealing from God, the genies stole from the Demiurge too, taking so much the Demiurge split into innumerable fragments. The Divine, reduced to little more than a creature of spite and hatred, was reduced to a mad thing lurking in the void between universes, left only with spite, hatred and the insane craving to undo everything that had been done. It was God no longer, now it is the Demon Lord. The innumerable fragments of what once was the Demiurge, still an extension of the Demon Lord, became the first demons, flitting from world to world, wreaking havoc and devastation and preparing each world for the arrival of the Hunger in the Void, the Demon Lord. The universe that contains the planet Urth, this reality, is the latest one to fall under the Shadow of the Demon Lord.

  • Introduction Armageddon, the Apocalypse, the End of Times. Throughout History, Mankind Has Always Wondered About The
    ● Introduction ○ Armageddon, the apocalypse, the end of times. Throughout history, mankind has always wondered about the fabled end of the world and how it would come about. Would the forces of nature finally decide we are unworthy? Would the greater forces, both holy and unholy, finally come for us? Would we fall due to our own carelessness, as we began to contaminate the place we call home? So many ways we could possibly fall, so many ways our end could occur. So when the end of days finally came, what brought about our doom could never have been foreseen. You want to know what terrible apocalypse finally attempted to bring humanity to it’s knees? ○ Everything. ○ It wasn’t one event to end us, nor was it multiple events over a course of time. Rather many catastrophes, be it scientific or arcane, had occurred at once. The sheer strain of which had separated our once unified earth into separate planets, kept apart by dimensional barriers. In each of these new universes, a new armageddon has occurred, transforming the culture and creating new societies. ○ Yes, societies. It seems that even this event couldn’t quite keep humanity down. Though we are struggling to survive, and there are still hostilities between our separate cultures, we are still around, ready to keep fighting for our freedom if need be. That is where you come in. You see, these worlds have many needs, and som are of the violent or even supernatural sort. You are what some would consider a freelancer; a person willing to do odd jobs in exchange for compensation.

  • Twodee's Shadowrun Storytime, Including but Not Limited to the Full Chapter 15 and Chapters 21 and 21.5
    1 TwoDee’s Shadowrun Storytime Written by TwoDee Edited and Compiled by Jarboot!!j4xjG8Gxyo4 Further Edited and Compiled by Impatient Asshole Anon What follows is arguably the best series of storytime threads ever created. If you're any sort of fan of Shadowrun—whether you're a new GM, newbie player, or even a veteran—this prose will really help flesh out what sort of fun you can have with the system and setting. It's nearly 400 pages and about 130,000 words, so download this to read on your phone/laptop/ebook/commlink, because this will take a while. I'm Jarboot, a fellow fa/tg/uy and Shadowrun fan. Someone suggested that someone make a compilation of this story for easier reading, so I figured I could do it. Editing is minimal, but I fixed a lot of spelling and general syntax error, most of which were mentioned by TwoDee in a post following the original. There are some little Jackpoint-esque comments from other people from the threads included in the document, which are differentiated by a green color and indented text. I may have included a picture or two in there, too. Also, 2D likes to do some foreshadowing at some points, so keep track of the greentexted dates if you feel confused. All these threads (except number 3, which you can search for using some of the other tags) can be found by searching for the “shadowrun storytime” tag on the /tg/ archive. Jarboot is an extremely helpful fa/tg/uy, but this particular Anon is an impatient asshole who wanted a fully updated version of TwoDee's Shadowrun Storytime, including but not limited to the full Chapter 15 and Chapters 21 and 21.5.

  • GURPS ​ Monster Hunters
    GURPS Monster Hunters ​ By Anon Heart, v0.6 You know, anon, there are things out there. Creatures that go bump in the night. Beasts, born of the vile darkness, haunting your fair cities, searching for prey. And some... some aren’t even of this world. Aliens such as Greys or Devourers, attacking innocents, harvesting them for their own ends. And those that are aren’t much better, vampires, werewolves, and other such beasts, creatures of the night. But you’re here now, Anon! You’re going to save everyone. ​ But you can’t do this alone, and not as- well, okay, you might be able to do it as you are. Take 1000 CP anyway. Ah, but who are you, this time around? Why are you hunting these creatures who haunt the dark? Drop In [Free]: ... Does there need to be a reason? You’re a jumper, there’s some monsters, just do what comes naturally. Revenge [Free]: It’s because of these creatures that you’ve been turned! You’ve become an inhuman of some sort, a vampire, a werewolf, a demon, or an outcast angel! You’re not really sure how those last two work, since those are things you’re generally born as, but don’t question it anon! For Humanity [Free]: These monsters... how dare they walk the same earth as humans? Purge them, and cleanse the world for humans, and make the world a better place! Guidance From Above [Free]: Either because you received guidance from your god, because your divinations indicated it might be a good idea, or because you caught a glimpse of a future that strongly suggested you should, your powers are what lead you into this fight.

  • Revolution Campaign Guide (V1.0)
    r E volution V O L U T I O N T H E C A M P A I G N r E volution V O L U T I O N T H E C A M P A I G N iNTRODUCTION "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon.” Welcome to 2084. Welcome to the Sixth World. Welcome to the REVOLUTION. This is a guide to the REVOLUTION campaign, a story of cyberpunk conspiracy, apocalypse, and horror that we will tell together about magical revolutions, technological evolutions, and whether somewhere between them there’s a future for Mankind at all. Though your characters will begin as street-level shadowrunners—elite criminals for hire living on the fringes of society—they’ll be drawn into the ultimate war, and maybe even eventually become one of the near-mythical midnighters, those elite of the elite who pull off runs on the Corporate Court’s orbital headquarters and against spirit gods in their astral courts. REVOLUTION is about hope and despair. It is about people and the conflicting priorities of human civilization, daring to ask how far our race has truly come since we climbed down from the trees, and whether or not we’ll even still be human at the end of our evolution. The world of rEvolution is like an apocalyptic Garden of Eden trapped in a cellular "eclipse phase,” the period between when a cell is infected by a virus and when the virus appears within the cell and transforms it.

  • Technological Afterness and After-Humans in Realive and Upgrade
    Dossiê (DIS)ABLING BODY AND CONSCIOUSNESS: TECHNOLOGICAL AFTERNESS AND AFTER-HUMANS IN REALIVE AND UPGRADE (DES)ABILITANDO CORPO E CONSCIÊNCIA: POSTERIDADE TECNOLÓGICA E APÓS-HUMANOS EM REALIVE E UPGRADE Asijit Datta* ABSTRACT My paper talks about post-human spaces and technological afterness associated with the physiognomy of humans. Mechanical alteration in biological mechanisms is directly experienced in seizing of organic consciousness. The rupture in consciousness splits it into two distinct parts—one belonging to the disappearing human, the other to the emerging cybernetic. The new being is not another human, but (an)other human, an evolved different sameness. In the film Realive (2016) we encounter an extension of the self beyond death by re-placing it into another body. However, this enhancement diffuses all ‘natural’ responses and meaning-making vehicles, primarily the cognizance of death and mortality. In a classic Frankensteinian restoration, Marc is reanimated in 2084 through extensive methods of cryonization under the banner ‘Lazarus project’. The post-human ‘humachines’ dissolve the position of the teleological man and stretch DNA to digitality. Upgrade (2018) shows us the metamorphosis of Grey Trace, a luddite, by an installed biomechanical enhancer chip, Stem. The roach-like implant not only erases Grey’s quadriplegic body, but ironically ‘desires’ to possess and manoeuver the host’s body. Robotic consciousness in these assimilated after- humans is borrowed consciousness activated by infusing the evanescent biological particle – life. Nanotechnology, molecular machines, nerve manipulators, cameras implanted inside the brain, self-generating nanobots, artificial mechanical limbs have emerged as elements of posthuman utopia/dystopia. Paradoxically, in both the films the protagonists, after their reanimation and upgradation, try to return to their original position of death and disability.
