Tool up, adept!

You are at the vanguard of a new age, an age of metal and machines, of engines and augmentation.

However, not everyone welcomes your mechanised inventiveness; great change brings great fear and, perhaps, persecution.

Steam and Steel is a source book for FateStorm™ Ascendancy–Rogue Marshal. It provides detailed information about technologies, including steam and clockwork, tools and magical machines as well as skills not covered in the core rule book, such as mechanartis, which is the merging of technology and magic.

A supplementary book for the adept vocation, Steam and Steel outlines new vocational paths for the adept to follow, new assets to covet and advanced weaves that the versatile adept can make good use of. The file is a print ready, optimised, PDF; with page previews, bookmarks, hyperlinked contents list and a glossary.

Here’s what you get.

• Details of past and present technological advances

• Special benefits from adept only organisations

• The Technoshaman in greater detail

• Five new prowess

• Three new talents

• New allies, possessions and personalities perfect for the old hand or newbie adept

• Seven new assea weaves tailored to the versatile adept

ASCENDANCY - Rogue Marshal, draws the players into a world of political intrigue and power plays; psychotic serial killers and obsessed fetish gangs; deranged cults that call forth eldritch nightmares; and mad inventors who create mechanical and chemical abominations. All amid the background of Ashendrya — The Endless City.

Ashendrya is a city so vast that normal citizens are called upon to act as its wardens in time of need; and there is always a need. While industrial cabals wage secret wars that threaten to engulf whole regions of the city, malign cults pray to Shiok, the mad god, and call his influence into the very heart of Ashendrya.

In Ashendrya, celebrity, fame and fashion are proof of success, poisoning the weak of mind to fall into madness; the poor are left to rot in the low regions, without light or hope, or join the nation's fighting forces and march to war.

Fate favours the brave

From now on it's not up to the GM or the dice to prove a character's worth - it's up to you.
