It s a world just a shade off our own, where the skyscrapers loom taller and the shadows yawn wider.

    • Secrets [RGG1710]

    They hide in the shadows of the hallows. They lurk in the alleys of New York. They slink along the docks of Charleston. What are they?

    Secrets.

    From societies, to hidden magic, secrets beat through the veins of the colonies.

    Some may think they know everything that has transpired in the colonies, but they are wrong. There are dark things afoot. There are those with vengeance in their heart who seek to unleash it. There are creatures prowling the shadows awaiting to entangle the unsuspecting in their maws. There is evil flowing in the wind.

    Secrets.

    Secret history. Secret plots. Secret agendas.

    These are the secrets of Colonial Gothic.

    Poor Wizard's Grimoire [RGG1720]

    The World is Steeped in Magic.

    It is everywhere and courses through all things.

    Some claim that Magic is fueled by Ether. Others claim it is a Divine gift granted to those chosen by Providence. Still others claim that Magic is not a gift, but a curse. And some claim that Magic is a tool of the Devil, created to further his Infernal ends on earth.

    None of these claims comes close to the Whole Truth.

    Magic is a Force of Nature, whose Secrets all may uncover with Time and Wisdom. Yet Magic is also a Danger to those unwilling to treat it with the Respect such a Force deserves.

    Oathbound Plains of Penance [BAS1008]

    Beyond the most populous city on the Forge lies a vast, uncontrolled expanse of rolling grasslands, scattered crags, and light woods. In strong contrast to the rest of the world, where nature stands in opposition to intelligent life, the bountiful land here provides a lush wealth of resources upon which the great cities have come to depend. Powerful forces vie for control over this abundant domain, as ruthless bloodlords of the cities clash against the deep-rooted druids of the wilds, hardened armies from the west, and even mysterious visitors from the depths of the northern oceans.

    Despite the constant conflicts, the vast plains hide much from the attentions of those in power and provide a breeding ground for petty tyrants, outlaws, rogue villains, and hordes of roving monsters. Far from empty, the plains are as ancient as the cities that spring up among them and even the wilderness contains a wealth of lost history, culture, and knowledge.

    What lies beneath and beyond the towering cliffs of the Pedestal, and what is Israfel’s design for this ponderous landscape? Find out in The Plains of Penance.


    Despite the Danger, some still dare to take up the Study of Magic and to use its Power. Even in this Modern Age, new Discoveries are made about the Workings of Magic. New Insights reveal Power many deemed impossible. Those Discoveries can be found here: Rituals, Witchcraft, Talismans, and Relics.

    Are you willing to face the Danger and uncover the Secrets of Magic?

    Wrack & Ruin [BAS1011]

    The great City of Penance is the oldest settlement on the Forge, literally containing millions of years of history in its deep hulking mass. Though nearly forty million souls call the city home, less than half of one percent of the city's locations are inhabited. The bulk of the Pedestal is a madly stacked and sprawling ruin, only superficially explored by the relentless rafters and treasure-seekers of the surface world.

    Every home in the city has a hundred others lost beneath it, and every city street stands atop an incredible three-dimensional maze of corridors, alleyways, and crawlspaces - a maze where time has left nothing unchanged, eroding and distorting the framework of magic and even the laws of physics themselves.

    Long past the grasp of any human control, the ruins of Penance have become a true landscape, vast, beautiful, and unforgiving, with their own unique ecosystem and their own set of hazards and comforts. Strange plants and creatures have evolved in the eternally darkened streets below the city, and prey upon those foolish enough to step out of the city's gilded cage of civilization.

    Wrack and Ruin is an essential guidebook for anyone intoxicated by the forgotten secrets of the past, or by the potential power lost within the great city's crumbling majesty. Don't leave your Bloodhold without it!

    Arena [BAS1014]

    The vast red desert domain of Arena sprawls south and westward from the nurturing plains of Penance. Spurred onward by the ancient promise of gold buried beneath the sands, massive armies of brutal warriors rumble across the scarred and wasted terrain. For the fortunate few, the ultimate dream of Arena still comes true - immeasurable riches, supreme command, and decades of extravagant and luxurious living atop the Queen's pedestal of pleasure. For most however, whatever dreams they may harbor are soundly crushed under years of backbreaking labor, constant battle, exhausting marches, gruesome butchery, and an infinity of accursed crimson sand. Oathbound: Arena provides a new entry point into the world of the Forge. This is the Domain of Barbello, the Mask of Fury, the invincible mistress of rage, pain, warfare, and death. Who amongst you can withstand her test?

    Masters of Arms [2WS1100]

    This book provides a complete weapons-based martial arts system for practically every weapon in the game and a few things you wouldn't even recognize as weapons (like an immovable rod). Masters of Arms includes over 300 special maneuvers, spread across more than 30 classes. Masters of Arms focuses on unusual weapons and those who master them. Combination maneuvers give you many different ways to devastate things and defensive maneuvers give you something to do while the monsters try to eat you. All the classes are designed with maximum flexibility and customizability in mind and most of their special abilities can double as new feats, so that those who don't wish to specialize in a prestige class can still expand their library of actions. For gamemasters the Alpha Beast provides a convenient way to upgrade a monster for close in fighting, whether using claws or teeth or tentacles. And the telekinesis master can make fighting demons a very different experience. In addition Masters of Arms includes a combination maneuver construction system. For those gamemasters, players, and game designers willing to risk their sanity, the construction system can work quite nicely but Second World Simulations will not compensate you for mental anguish or possible psychiatric bills.
