Age of Alchemy Steampunk RPG Version 3

FORWARD Age of Alchemy is intended to be a non-profit game addition to those who want a Steampunk setting for the Fantasy Age Core Rulebook and the AGE System. This game was not indorsed by Green Ronin Publishing or any of its affiliates and is in no way intended to infringe upon any sort of copyright. This is however intended as a fan supplement that expands players libraries a touch. On another note, none of the artwork within is srcinal and was not stolen but used because of the Steampunk nature of the artwork.

Age of Alchemy A Steampunk RPG “A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked.”

The world of Sardonia The world of Sardonia (Sar-DAWN-ee-a) is a savage world with both wild lands and civilization. Sardonia is divided into four main continents; The Empire, Albion, Ginseng, and Norvar ia. THE EMPIRE: The Empire is a continent far to the West that is very oppressive and slave-trade-driven. They are what the Albions srcinated from and escaped so they can live in peace. No one likes to talk of it but it still lingers, like massive storm clouds on the horizon. ALBION: Albion is the largest of the continents but by no means the center of civilization. It was found by man only 200 years ago and only half of the continent has been explored. The Northern half of the continent has been dedicated to rich farmlands and forests. While cities do exist, they are separate city-states with their own laws. Between the northern and southern halves of Albion is the Serpents Ridge, a single trail of maintains the form a natural barrier between the halves of the continent. The Dwarves live in those mountains and rarely come out to trade. South of that is the Badlands, a scarcely inhabited region filled with many dangers yet unknown. Many settlements have come into existence in the Badlands, but their laws have little to no hold on the many outlaws and villainy to escape civilization. The Elves inhabit this land and are very Native American in culture and religious beliefs. The Halflings also thrive here, but are mostly miners who live underground. GINSENG: Ginseng is a smaller continent just a few hundred miles to the east of Albion. It is filled with a people who live under one Emperor and many Shogun; or warlords, and while they have made a vastly different civilization that that of the Albions; they do trade with Albion on occasion. NORVARIA: Norvaria is a near frozen wasteland to the north of Albion. Orcs srcinate from this desolate plane and some say giants of frost live there as well.

HISTORY OF SARDONIA: Sardonia is actually not that different from reality. Yes, it is a fictional, fantasy setting but most of it is actually designed off of real history. No one really knows how the world came to be, though there are many religious texts on the subject. One thing is known, a cataclysm shattered the world. Many millennia ago, the world was actually one large continent, held together by the forces of magic. Then out of nowhere, the Cataclysm happened. Some say it was a giant rock from space, some say it was the gods, and some say it was man. Either way, it shattered the face of Sardonia and changed it forever. From here, the races developed independently of each other and thus they formed their own unique cultures and languages. 200 years ago, Albion was discovered by immigrants looking to escape the tyranny of the Empire. They founded the nation of Albion after the first of the city-states to be erected; Albion City. After fifty years of peace, the Empire tried to take Albion, but was driven back by several small but effective resistance groups known as the Freedom Banner. The Freedom Banner was divided into several small Cells working in unison. Teams of 3-4 people were much more effective than a whole army. The teams were able to get in, sabotage weapons and armor, and make it out before the battles. These Guerilla tactics made the freedom of Albion possible. The Empire was driven back but still lingers on the horizon, the threat of attack still a constant danger. Recent: Recent history is actually quite simple; the newly formed Albion has made several new City-States and has made relations with the other races. The Badlands have been so far only partially explored and new dangers have yet to be discovered. Technology has not been the same since a brilliant young inventor named Tesla (yes based on the real life Nikola Tesla) has uncovered the secrets to combining magic with technology. Since then, the world has not been the same. It has gone from the Age

of Magic to the Age of Alchemy, the melding between science and magic. Tesla died about 100 years ago, but his legacy lives on in the invention of new forms of technology to benefit all of creation. About 350 years ago, the nation of Ginseng was founded by a small group from Far East. Their original homeland has faded into legend and myth. Ginseng was founded by the Hy-Quong family and thus began their first Dynasty. Much of their history is passed on as myths and legends but one thing remains constant in these retellings; the story of Lu-Quong. Lu-Quong was the last of the HyQuong family line, but his actions remain to this day as a story of heart and spirit. Lu-Quong was only a boy when his father, the Dynamo (or Emperor as they are called now) was murdered by his adviser. The adviser, named Li-Shu, banished the boy after taking the throne. Lu-Quong swore revenge and went about the lands, searching for ways to get his rightful place on the throne. He trained under many great warriors, but none as powerful and majestic as Ki-Lang, the Dragon of the Skies. Ki-Lang taught the boy the truth of magic and in doing so; he learned how to beat the evil adviser. Lu-Quong came back almost 20 years later and challenged Li-Shu to a duel, the winner will rule the nation. With the powers of Magic and Might, Lu-Quong beat his nemesis and claimed the throne. However, he never found his love and died without an heir. He appointed it to one of the sons of one of the lands greatest warrior and in doing so began the Gi-Kang Dynasty.

The City-States of Albion ALBION CITY: Albion City was the first city-state to be made by those who escaped the empire 200 years ago. It serves as a symbol and beacon of democracy and freedom. GOVERNMENT: The government in Albion City is actually very simple with 5 officials who are elected every 2 years. They convene and make ideas for the laws and rules. The people of Albion City are the ultimate deciders in any law-making. If the people don’t like it, it won’t get passed. HELION CITY: Helion City is close to Albion and considered its surrogate “Twin City” It has the same exact city layout and governmental system. The only difference is that Helion City lies a bit farther towards the sky, having been rested in the Serpents Ridge. Helion City is also one of the two primary Skyport Cities in the nation NEW REGAL: New Regal is a small city-state with only one major activity, the buying and selling of port goods. It is rested on the eastern coast and has a high trade with Ginseng. It may be small but it is best known for its trade, good and bad. GOVERNMENT: The Government in New Regal is actually very simple. They deal in trade. Most of the residents are dock or warehouse workers and so little is needed in terms of laws or rules save for one: Piracy is not at all allowed. Anyone caught engaging in Piracy will be executed, no exceptions. This rule has kept the city clean of illegal activity for almost 50 years. UTOPIA: a massive walled city, Utopia is trying to be just that; a utopian society with no poverty or sickness. They have dedicated their existence to unifying the lands and becoming a peaceful society. However, this utopian society has its share of darkness and oppression. They have a secret society within the walls of the city that hold secrets and achieve peace through intimidation. GOVERNMENT: This society is known as the Masque (As in Masquerade). They are a very top secret organization that bows to no man but the Governor. Even his personal guard, the Crimson Gua rd, have to follow the orders of the Masque or be punished.

AS a side note; I will be publishing an expanded World Book that not only has more game data for the various areas of Sardonia, but the history and culture therein as well. It will also includ e mare races and options for your heroes too. Enjoy.

WEAPON QUALITIES: Weapons always have had some unique capabilities that others do not. These are called Weapon Qualities. They add new and exciting game play to the normal system while maintaining the balance and not making anything too over powered. Keep in mind, some weapons will have more than one Quality and some may not have any at all, but there should be no more than 3 Qualities on any given weapon.

It is not as abundant as elm, but it does tend to grow faster and stronger REDWOOD: redwood is very strong but also dense and heavy FAEBARK: Faebark is a magical wood directly from the Faewylds. It is hard to get and thus it is really expensive WHITEWOOD: Whitewood is strong but flexible and can maintain its shape for longer than most woods ASH: Ash is heavy but strong and durable BIRCH: Birch is light and flexible, granting a bonus in range OAK: Oak is not the most flexible wood, but it is the strongest and thus it has a great boost in range CLOTHING: Now, Clothing does have armor stats, but here are some examples of types of common clothing used in fantasy games and genre sold as a set, covering the entire body.

It costs more to have another do it, but there are Runecrafters out there. To do it yourself, you must have the Runecrafting Talent. Often referred to as Enchantment; Runes can only be equipped to an item that has the slot for them. Now, the level of the Rune will not cost more slots, but weapons and armor are not the only items that can have Runes in place. Many cosmetic items can be used with Runes to aid the players. In this section, we will get into the inner workings of Runes. CRAFTING RUNES: In order to craft runes yourself, you need the above Talent; but you can also have them implanted by someone wh o can do it.

POTIONS, POISONS AND GRENADES: Potions, Poisons and Grenades are a staple on many fantasy RPG’s. that being said, here are the rules for them in Age of Alchemy. First off, it is required that you have the Alchemy Talent in order to craft them yourself. Like Runes, you can have someone else do it, but it costs more to do so. POTIONS AND ELIXIRS: Potions and Elixirs are beneficial items that heal or grant other bonuses on a temporary basis. These Alchemical Concoctions are made primarily of things like healing herbs but are almost always imbued with magic that grants a fast heal. This following chart shows the level that can be created and the TN, Threshold, Costs and Time required to create them. Novice leveled potions are hereby referred to as Lesser, while Journeyman are referred to as Basic and Master are referred to as Greater. Level TN Threshold Make Cost Buy Cost Time

POISONS: Poisons are a bit more complicated. It takes roughly the same amount of time, but failing a Poison Creation Test means some bad juju on the user. On a failed test, the player must roll 1d6 and apply the following effects: D6 roll Effect 1-3 You suffer no ill effect You take the basic damage of the poison but not any other side effects 4-5 You take the full effect of the failed poison 6 The Poisons take the same time, cost and Test numbers as Potions above, so there is no need to repeat that chart.

Here are the Poisons List but in the Lesser, Basic and Greater Categories: Poison Level Base Damage Effect Arsenic Lesser 1d6 Penetrating Suffers damage ever round for 2 rounds unless they pass a TN 11 Constitution (Stamina) Test Wolfsbane Lesser 3 Penetrating Hallucinate for 2 rounds unless they pass a TN 11 Willpower (Self-discipline) Test Bloodroot Lesser Must make a TN 11 Constitution (Stamina) Test every round or they are stunned for 2 rounds total Toadstool Basic 2d6 Penetrating Suffers damage ever round for 4 rounds unless they pass a TN 13 Constitution (Stamina) Test Red Lotus Extract Basic 5 Penetrating Hallucinate for 4 rounds unless they pass a TN 13 Willpower (Self-discipline) Test Paralysis Poison Basic Must make a TN 13 Constitution (Stamina) Test every round or they are stunned for 4 rounds total Greater 3d6 Penetrating Suffers damage ever round for 6 rounds unless they pass a TN 15 Constitution Deathblade (Stamina) Test Nightmare Vapors Greater 7 Penetrating Hallucinate for 6 rounds unless they pass a TN 15 Willpower (Self-discipline) Test Greater Must make a TN 15 Constitution (Stamina) Test every round or they are Shadow Essence stunned for 6 rounds total

GRENADES: Grenades are a fun way to distract or even mess you enemies up to high heaven. They can be lobbed over walls and into crowds to create problems.

Keep in mind it costs a minimum of 20 silver each month to keep the crew on the captains’ side. SPEED: in yards (Preferably high in number like 30+) Size: how big the ship is: 1-Small (20-30 crew), 2-Average (31-50 crew), 3-Large (51-100 crew) Maneuverability: Turning speed (How long in combat it takes to turn): 1: Major action (Slowest), 2: Minor action (Average), 3: Free Action (Fastest) It takes crew to operate the sails: 20 for slower, 15 for average, 10 for faster Cargo: Available Cargo Capacity Structure: ships health threshold-the ship is disabled if reduced to 0, any more damage destroys it. This is based on 2 factors, size and hull type Hull Type: the type of hull that holds the ship together Hull Resistance: basically AR-Ranging from dense wood (1) to thick metal (5). This is based on hull type Land/Sea/Air capability: in what environment does it function, some may work in 2 types but having all 3 is rare and expensive Weaponry: the types of weapons on the ship, (Type/Attack (Captains’ leadership)/Damage (Specialist required for any bonuses)/Ranges/Reload/Crew (operation)) cannot have more weaponry than crew to use them. Also, you cannot fire more cannons than your Captains Communication (Leadership) per round. Specialists: certain people with specialties that grant bonuses to certain types of actions. Upgrades: What kinds of upgrades does the ship have? SHIP SIZE COSTS AND BASE STATS: these are the base statistics for most ships based on size

SPEED AND CAPABILITIES : Swim Speed is the base speed listed above. This is how fast in yards the ship can travel on the ocean’s surface. If the Ship has the Flight Capability, then Flight Speed is equal to twice the base Swim Speed in yards. This is becau se there is less resistance in the air. If the ship has the Running Capability, it is equal to HALF the base Swim speed due to rougher terrain. A minimum speed of 25 yards is acceptable and since Size 3 ships are slower, but any lower is not good. CARGO: The Base Cargo Capacity is the total amount the ship can carry if we remove all of the crew and weapons. Cargo Capacity is reduced by the number of available crew and the number of weapons (Excluding the Ram for it is on the outside of the ship and the side turrets since they are on top of the ship’s deck). The remaining number is then reduced by another 5 points for previsions for the crew and another 5 for the powder and ammo for the weapons and the remaining then is the amount of cargo the ship can carry. Formula: Base Cargo capacity - crew size – weapons (Except Ram, Side Turrets, Harpoons or Ballistae) – 5 for crew previsions – x (x= total units of ammo purch ased) for ammo and reserves + any upgrades = remaini ng cargo capacity . CREW AND WEAPONS: you need a minimum amount of Crew to work a ship. This is calculated in the Ship Size categories already, but if you do not have enough to operate the weapons, then you cannot use all available weaponry for the ship. You need a minimum to work the Riggins on the main deck and some to operate the weapons. If Crew is lost, then not all weapons can be used and if you do not have enough to maneuver the ship, you can become dead in the water. Crew is a very important factor in this rules set, so keep that in mind as you create the ships and head off into the skies.

PLAYERS ON SHIPS: Now normally it is assumed that the players act as crewmembers aboard a ship but it is likely that a player may wish to own a ship of their own. In this case, we use their stats for the Captains’ Communication (Leadership) and if they pilot their own ship, like many captains did, then their Dexterity (Piloting) will be u sed as well. PLAYERS AS SPECIALISTS: Now a Player may become a Specialist. The GM will determine what kind of benefit the player may offer and apply an appropriate benefit the ship as a whole.

For example: The Gallivant (Pirate cruiser airship)

Captain: Durant “Redskull” Barnum Captains’ Dexterity (Piloting) 3 (+2) (INTV +5) (DEF 15) Captains’ Communication (Leadership) 4 (+2) (+6 attack) Crew Size: 36 (31-50 maximum; 10 maneuverability, 20 for standard cannons, 2 for front cannons, 4 for turret cannons; 36 minimum) Size: 2 Speed: 40 Swim, 90/100 Fly (50 swim and 100 fly -10 for armor) Maneuverability: 2 (Minor Action, 10 Crew) Cargo: 41 units available (100 -36 for crew -10 for standard cannons -2 for front cannons -5 for crew previsions -15 for ammo and powder +5 for Secret Hold +4 for Extra Cargo) Structure: 120 (100 +20 for Hull) Hull Type: Double Planked Wood Hull Resistance: 6 Capability: Sea/Air Weaponry: 16/16 available slots 10 Standard Cannons (5 on each side) (20 crew) 2d6(+4) per cannon used, Major Reload, 100/200 yard ranges 2 Front Cannons (2 Crew) 1d6(+4) per cannon, Minor Reload, 100/200 yard ranges 4 Turret Cannons (4 Crew) Damage 1d6(+4) per cannon, Minor Reload, 50/100 yard ranges RAM: 2d6(+4) Penetrating Ammo Type: Uses 15 units of Cargo for Rou nd Shot (10 shots per unit for 150 shots) WEAPON SPECIALIST: Adds +4 to all damage rolls FOLDABLE WINGS: Can add +10 to Flight at any point EXTRA CARGO: Gave up 4 weapon units for +4 Cargo Units SECRET HOLD: TN 15 Perception (Searching) to find extra Cargo (+5 to total Cargo Capacity)

COST OF THE GALLIVANT: 2050 Gold Size 2 ship: 500 gp Double Planked Hull: (pays difference between armors) 25 gp 10 standard Cannons: 375 gp (75x5=375) 2 Front Cannons: 100 gp (50x2=100) 4 Side Turrets: 200 gp (50x4=200) RAM: 100 gp installation Sea Capability:100 gp Air Capability: 250 gp Foldable Wings upgrade: 150 gp Extra Cargo Upgrade: 200 gp (50x4=200) Secret Hold Upgrade: 50 gp Total minimum expense per month of the Crew : 745 sp per month of minimum earnings to keep crew happy 20 Silver per crew member per month: 720 sp (36x20) 25 silver per month per specialist: 25 sp

COMBAT IN SHIPS: Combat in ships will play out like all normal combat in Fantasy Age. The ships will determine who goes first by rolling the Pilots Dexterity (Piloting) and adding the Navigator if they have one. They make their attacks by using the Captains’ Communication (Leadership). Now remember that you can only fire a number of cannons equal to or less than that score as well. Each cannon will do their damage in the damage pool, so if you only fire 3 light cannons, then you roll 3d6 total. THEN any extra damage by a specialist is added. So if you have a Weapons Specialist, you roll the examples 3d6 THEN add the +4 against the other ships Defense which is calculated as the Pilots Dexterity (Piloting) +10. Damage is taken from the ships Structure after the Hull Resistance removes some of the damage. It acts like the AR of normal Player Characters. Each ship will go on like this until one gets their Structure down to 0; at which point the ship is disabled and cannot fire or move and has only a 5 Defense rating with no Hull Resistance. If the Disabled ship takes any more damage, it is destroyed. Repairing is simple; you take it to a port and they do the repairs. An Engineer can do Quick Repairs for 2d6 Structure for a short time but the most of it has to be done at a Port.

WANTED LEVEL: Now, attacking other ships and taking their loot is going to get you into some trouble. After each ship is taken and/or destroyed, you will increase the Wanted Level by one point. After every 5 points, you become more notorious and you will have more and more Pirate Hunters come after you. Now, some Privateers have Pardons that allow a certain leniency towards the Wanted Level. The GM will determine how far up the scale the Pardon goes and so on. The cap is a Wanted Level of 20. At level 20, you are the most notorious pirate to ever sail and this creates issues. You can’t go anywhere without someone fearing you or c oming after you. BOARDING ANOTHER SHIP: Boarding another ship acts like normal combat rules. However, if any cannons are used, you double the damage on living targets, so Heavy Cannons will deal 6d6 worth of damage to a human target. You roll initiative and act accordingly like normal. The GM May assign certain things have to be done before the ship will surrender; such as blowing the reserves or killing the captain or destroying the ships flag. Such activities won’t grant extra experience but they do add a realism and drama. AFTER BOARDING: If the crew completes the tasks set by the GM to take a ship, you not only get their loot but have a few options as well… 1. Repair Ship: by Repairing the ship, you take materials from the taken ship and apply them to yours as a makeshift repair. This will repair 1d6+Size+Hull Resistance in health. If you have the Engineer Specialist, this is increased to 2.

3.

2d6+Sze+Hull Resistance Lower Wanted Level: By sparing the crew of th e taken ship, yo u lower your Wanted Level. The Captain will need to make a TN 13 Communication (Persuasion or Leadership) Test. If they pass, they lower their wanted level by their Stunt Die Ransom Ship: you can hold the crew of the taken ship captive and hold them until a payment is received. This will give you an extra point in Wanted Level but the rewards are pretty great

TYPES OF CARGO: There are many types of Goods that are transported every day (besides money) and you can get a pretty penny for selling Cargo. Each type of Cargo will sell for a certain amount per Unit. Each Unit takes one Cargo Slot in your ship, so you cannot hold more Units of Cargo than your ship can hold. Cargo

SHIPS IN MASS COMBAT: While the rules for Mass Combat have not been transferred officially over from Dragon Age to Fantasy Age, the concept can remain the same. If any ship were to come into play, they would act as either a Phase 1 or Phase 2 Specialist. If the GM wishes to use a Fleet of ships as their Mass Combat, then the Specialists listed above can act as the Phase Specialists. Crisis Points may be that you are boarding a ship or you are getting boarded; as an example.

Here is a sample sheet that holds all the information you need to build a ship of your own. This is my own design and it needs work but it is easy to read.
