About the book:
SDM: MAGITECNICA – Codex 1 – The Use and Misuse of Powers Great and Small is a volume of powers and rules and spells for use with the synthetic dream machine roleplaying system and the UVG undying earth trail setting.
Loosely compatible with most OSR roleplaying games that use levels (or hit dice, as some named them) and life scores (or hit points, as the ancients knew them).
Includes:
- Cutaway map of the shiptower Haruspex, captained by the wizard Vorus, for when you need a fantasy sorsciencer’s tower. Also in high resolution.
- 25 magitechnical powers in 4 albums, including the blood bullet gun fu of the Viridian Practice and the travel powers of the Dawn’s Highway.
- Original and reused illustrations by the author. Purportedly some are rather nice.
- Cryptic in-world fictions. Terrible purple prose. Just the way you like it.
- Rules for using powers fueled by characters’ lives (or hit points).
- Mechanics for creating new powers.
- Corruption tables for mutating characters when they misuse powers.
