Adamant Entertainment is proud to present a setting book for The Imperial Age, our line of Victorian/Steampunk products, made for use with d20 Modern or Past.

London is the greatest city of the Imperial Age. While much of the steel and production industries of England resided in Birmingham, the coal that drove the colonial enterprises was extracted in Wales, and shipping was increasingly centered in Southampton and Liverpool, London was the seat of power for the largest empire in the world. Millions walked its teeming streets, and the city has been the setting for diverse Victorian themes and genres, from detective fiction to steampunk.

The Imperial Age: London is a complete guide to using the city as a setting for your Victorian-era campaigns, no matter what the genre. Included are detailed descriptions of every district, informative sidebars on such diverse topics as money, precedence, Freemasons, workhouses, the Metropolitan Police Force and more, and suggestions on running adventures and campaigns in the greatest city of the age.

Included within the pages of this supplement is a genuine Imperial Age document -- the 1899 edition of Bartholomew's Pocket Atlas and Guide to London, featuring detailed street-level maps of every corner of the city, as well as a reference index to streets and places of interest.

Imperial Age: Grimoire is designed to add realism to hermetic traditions in Victorian-era supernatural campaigns. This supplement describes the basics of ritual magick, enhancing the material found in Imperial Age: Magick (although usable separately as well).

Unlike the stereotypical fireball-throwing fantasy wizard, hermetic disciples performed elaborate rituals (or incantations) to produce magickal effects. Many of these rituals were interpreted, duplicated, and translated from ancient sources and codified in a book, or grimoire, from which other members of an occult society could study and implement.

Imperial Age: Grimoire provides information on the historical practices of ritual magick, details four grimoires which can be used as-is or modified for your Victorian-era campaign, and, for your convenience, this supplement also contains a complete Imperial Age spell and incantation list compiled from the Modern SRD to be used in the creation of your own grimoires.

Adamant Entertainment is proud to present The Imperial Age, our line of Victorian/Steampunk products, made for use with d20 Modern or Past.

The literature of the Victorian era has generated, refined, and fostered a great number of monstrosities that have endured to this very day. Who hasn’t heard of Count Dracula or Frankenstein’s Monster? What of the Martian invasion or the exploits of the Invisible Man? And who could forget the ultimate in personality disorders in the form of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

There are a number of lesser known but just as fearsome literary Victorian monstrosities. Count Dracula did not appear on the printed page until 1897; however, the Victorian vampire myth was alive and well in the forms of Lord Ruthven, Varney, and Carmilla. Other monstrosities in the same mould included Brunhilda and Lady Ducayne. Pharos had a different spin on the mummy, while the Great God Pan destroyed the lives of mortals.

...And all of these literary creations paled in comparison to the factual and all-too-human Victorian monstrosity-- the anonymous and uncaptured serial killer known as Jack the Ripper, as well as the urban legend of Spring-heeled Jack.

The Imperial Age: Victorian Monstrosities collects all of these terrors and more, ready for use in your Victorian-era d20 campaign. Also included as an appendix is a complete open gaming system for handling horror using the d20 Modern rules set, as well as new feats, a new talent tree and a new template.

Imagine an afternoon stroll in Trafalgar Square. Perhaps you were just coming from one of the gentlemen�s clubs at Pall Mall. Thankful for a respite from the rain, you are using your umbrella as a walking stick and relying on your bowler to keep your head dry from a possible heavenly resurgence. A young boy, somewhat dishevelled, runs up to you and hands you a note. You took it out of politeness; you read it out of curiosity. The message is simple: Parliament cannot protect you. Join the Revolution.

You raise an eyebrow and look back towards the boy. He�s already disappearing down an alley, leaving behind a few more alarmed strollers holding copies of his note. Seconds later, a coach explodes across the busy street. Trafalgar Square is thrown into chaos, with people and spooked horses fleeing in every direction, screaming excitedly. There are bodies laying around the burning remnants of the coach, some moving, some not.

Terrorism is alive and well in the Imperial Age and it has been given a name:

Anarchism.


The Imperial Age: Anarchism is your guide to the political movement that grew during the Victorian era. The Anarchist believes that all governments are corrupt and oppressive and that the people should demand change. Unlike most other social reform movements, however, the Anarchist believes that this can only be achieved through a violent popular revolt.

Contained within this 11-page supplement: an overview of Anarchism during the Imperial Age; Adventure Hooks; an advanced class which allows you to add Anarchists to your Victorian-era campaign; and new feats.

Welcome to Mars!

Not Mars as it is - airless, most likely lifeless, with only the faintest hints of what might have once been a damp, if not necessarily lush and living, world billions of years in the past. No, this is Mars as it should be and as it was once imagined to be - an ancient, dying, but not yet dead world, a world where a vast canal network reaches from pole to pole, bringing water and life to vast and fantastic cities. A Mars where albino apes run a vast empire in the last surviving jungle, a world where warrior tribes of Green Martians raid the outlying cities of the canal dwellers, a world where, in places dark and quiet and forgotten beneath the surface, ancient and terrible intellects plan dark and dire deeds.

It is a Mars of sky-corsairs, of duels with blade and blaster, of vile plots, fantastic inventions, daring rescues, arena battles, and spectacular stunts. It is a Mars where ancient cities can be discovered and their lost treasures plundered, a Mars where a trek across the dry sea bottoms can yield amazing discoveries, where terrible monsters roam the rocky wastes.

It is the Mars of pulp fiction and Saturday morning serials.

It is now yours.

Adamant Entertainment's long-awaited Roleplaying Game of Planetary Romance features everything you need to get started telling tales of adventure beneath the moons of Mars. From character creation to combat, from strange science to even stranger beasts, MARS has it all. No other rulebooks required -- although guidelines are provided on using other versions of the world's most popular role-playing rules as well, allowing you to use Mars as a setting for your fantasy campaigns, or to transport your Modern characters to the Red Planet!
