Age of Alchemy
A Steampunk RPG
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 three
main continents; Albion, Ginseng, and Norvaria.
THE EMPIRE: The Empire is a continent far to the West that is very oppressive and slave-trade-driven. They are what the Albions
originated 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 originate 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
dont like it, it wont 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.

NEW NOVICE GRENADES:
SMOKE BOMB: Doesnt create damage, but creates smoke in a 3 yard radius. All within makes a TN 9 DEX (Acrobatics) Test.
Failed means they all take a -2 on all PER (Seeing) Tests and a -2 on all attacks. This only lasts for 1 minute before dissipating
HOLY WATER: Holy Water will not affect any living target, only those that are undead or unholy. It will do 1D6 of penetrating
damage every round for 1 minute (4 rounds)
NEW JOURNEYMAN GRENADES:
FUSE GRENADE: The Grenade is lit via fire as a minor action then tossed. It explodes after 15 seconds (1 round) dealing 2D6
damage to all within a 3 yard radius
FLASH POWDER: Thrown into the targets eyes, Flash Powder will do no damage but dazes the Target for 1 round, meaning they
only take minor actions
NEW MASTER GRENADES:
TANGLEROOT: Tangleroot is an alchemically altered set of dried plant root. When tossed on the ground it remains inert, but
once it is stepped upon, it triggers. Any target snared is knocked prone (unless they pass a TN 13 DEX (Acrobatics) test) and remains
until after 4 rounds (1 Minute) when the plant dries up and breaks. They can attempt to cut or break the Tangleroot with a TN 13
STR (Might) or Attack roll. The TN is treated as the DEF if they are using a melee attack. Once freed, they have to use a Minor action
to get back up.
SLEEP GAS: Within a 3 yard radius, anyone caught must make a TN 13 CON (Stamina) Test. Failed means they become drowsy
and may only take minor actions and their DEF is reduced by 2 points. A second failed Test the following round means they fall
asleep. They can keep trying the Test even when they are asleep to wake. Any attack made against those asleep will wake them up
immediately. The effect dissipates after 1 minute (4 rounds)

If you learn the Arcana listed, you can have another written in its place. You would need to find someone who knows
the Arcana you want and have them put it in the book. This may cost some silver to do it though
RODS: Rods are powerful weapons. They draw upon and amplify magical energies. You can spend up to 3 extra Magic Points to
add that much to either Damage or your Spellpower. Be forewarned, if you dont have enough MP, you can use your Health but it
will take longer for that to heal
WANDS: Wands are small wood or metal shafts with runes inscribed. This is the most common form of Arcane Device and
doesnt really grant any special powers.
MAGES STAFF: The Mages Staff is a unique item that is implanted with magic. You take a simple Quarterstaff and add the
following rules
+2 Damage of the following chosen type: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Spirit, Rock, Physical, or Poison
Spirit and Poison are always penetrating, so use damage normally, then add the +2 from health
The Element is also channeled into the Arcane Blast power, dealing the same +2 Damage of that type at range

Focus
Cold Arcana
Ice and snow are at your command.

Novice: You learn the spells brittle and cold snap.
Journeyman: You learn the spell freezing fog. You also gain the focus Intelligence (Ice Arcana).
Master: You learn the spell ice barrage. You can also choose one spell stunt you can perform for 1 SP when casting Cold Arcana
spells.
Brittle
Requirements: Cold Arcana (Novice)
Spell Type: Utility
MP Cost: 2-6
Casting Time: 1-3 rounds
Target Number: 10
Test: Strength (Might) vs. TN
Your touch causes a hand-held object to become brittle
and is easily broken. After the first round that the object is
held, it can be shattered with a TN 11 Strength (Might) test.
The object can be held for up to 3 rounds, with you spending
2 MP at the start of each turn and the target number being
reduced by 2 each round. Note that this can only be used on
objects that fit in your hands, so for example brittle can be
cast to break a door handle but not a door.
Cold Snap
Requirements: Cold Arcana (Novice)
Spell Type: Attack
MP Cost: 3
Casting Time: Major Action
Target Number: 12
Test: Constitution (Stamina) test vs. Spellpower
You cause a cloud of frost and ice to coalesce around a
visible target within 20 yards of you that lasts a number of
rounds equal to your Willpower. The round you cast it, cold
snap inflicts 1d6 penetrating damage. While the spell is in
effect, the target must make a Constitution (Stamina) test vs.
your Spellpower at the start of each of his or her turns. If
successful, the spell ends. If the test is failed, the target takes
1d6 penetrating damage and suffers a cumulative 2 penalty
to Speed. Those killed by cold snap are frozen solid.
ILLUSION ARCANA
Freezing Fog
Requirements: Cold Arcana (Journeyman)
Spell Type: Utility
MP Cost: 6
Target Number: 13
Test: Dexterity (Acrobatics) test vs. Spellpower
You create a heavy, cold mist that freezes the ground in
an area up to 10 yards in diameter anywhere within 30 yards
of you. Anyone within the freezing fog when it is cast, anyone
entering the area, and anyone who moves within the area
must make a successful Dexterity (Acrobatics) test against
your Spellpower or fall prone at each of those times, as they
apply. Prone characters may crawl normally. All melee attacks
made into or from the freezing fog suffer a 2 penalty, all
such ranged attacks suffer a 5 penalty.
Ice Barrage
Requirements: Cold Arcana (Master)
Spell Type: Attack
MP Cost: 11
Target Number: 15
Test: Constitution (Stamina) vs. Spellpower
You launch a hail ice shards and freezing air from your
outstretched hands that is 2 yards wide and 8 yards long.
Anyone caught in the blast suffers 2d6 + Willpower
penetrating damage and a 10 penalty to Speed for a number
of rounds equal to half your Willpower. Subjects who make a
successful Constitution (Stamina) test vs. your Spellpower
only suffer 1d6 + Willpower penetrating damage and a 5
penalty to their Speed for the same duration.
Novice: You learn the spells simple illusion and illusory mask.
Journeyman: You learn the spell invisibility. You also gain the focus Intelligence (Illusion Arcana).
Master: You learn the spell grand illusion. You can also choose one spell stunt you can perform for -1 SP when casting Illusion
Arcana spells.
SIMPLE ILLUSION
MP Cost: 3+
Target Number: 8
Test: Perception (Seeing) vs Spellpower
Create a roughly human sized illusion (or smaller) within
20 yards of you. It cannot move from its spot but can
incorporate movements into it (such as waving and shuffling
it's feet, but not walking around). The caster can incorporate
sounds into the illusion for an additional 2 MP at the time of
casting. The illusion can be programmed with a set motion, or
controlled if the caster stays within range. The illusion lasts
for 1 minute and you can extend it for up to 10 minutes for a
cost of 1 MP per minute.
ILLUSORY MASK
MP Cost: 4+
Target Number: 10 or 13
Change the physical appearance and gear of a touched
target. If made to look taller, shorter, fatter, or thinner, it is
just an illusion so you interact with the world the same way.
The TN is 13 when trying to imitate a specific person. Fail to
meet the higher TN, but still get a 10 or higher and you get an
illusion that's close, but anyone who knows who the illusion is
supposed to look like will automatically know it's not really
that person, even if they can't see through the illusion. This
lasts for 10 minutes and can you can extend it up to 1 hour
for a cost of 2 MP per 10 minutes.
INVISIBILITY
MP Cost: 12+
Casting Time: 1 Minute
Target Number: 15
Test: Perception (Seeing or Hearing) vs Spellpower
Render a number of creatures, up to your Willpower,
invisible to normal sight by touching them. When an invisible
creature moves, it leaves a slight shimmer/warping in the air.
If someone makes a successful test and "spots" you, they take
a -1 to anything that targets you specifically (-2 if done by
hearing). The spell lasts for 1 hour and you can extend it up to
5 hours at the cost of 3 MP per hour. An invisible creature
becomes visible if it takes an aggressive action, successful or
not.

soldiers under your control equal to your Willpower. Any
additional bound demons will not obey you although they will
not be hostile to you unless provoked
MAGICAL MISHAPS
Under circumstances, one may end up failing a Casting Roll. Now, normally, if the roll was just a failure, then the caster has
spent Mana for a failed Spell and nothing happens. But, if the roll was failed with a Critical Failure; a roll of all 1s (3 total); then some
bad juju will happen. These are called Magical Mishaps; really bad shit that hurts the mage.

spell)

OTHER RULES:
CHARACTER GOALS
To complete your hero, we must go through setting up your characters goals. These can be simple or complex and can range

CHARCTER TIES/RELATIONSHIPS
Now, an important aspect of Role-Playing is Relationships. Falling in love is one thing but developing contacts and friends is
another. Right now, relationships I have no rules set for, I just let my players act that out themselves. But based on the Contacts
Talent, I have a system in place to build contacts and friendships.
Building character Contacts:
First the player makes the roll stated in the Contacts Talent; if successful the target is now a contact, granting favors for favors.
More rolls can be made on the same target for increased effects see chart for more info.
Contact Level
Threshold
Bonus
Acquaintance
0
The person will grant you a favor but you will owe them in return and only small favors
Companion
10
The person will see you as a potential asset, allowing more to be gained from them, so long as you
keep your end of the deal
Friend
15
The person will see you as a good person, granting you access to things other may not get, even
information
Partner
20
The person holds nothing from you
The Threshold is an Advanced Test based on Ability Tests to persuade the person. Once the Threshold is reached, the benefit is
gained. Every time you interact with that person, add the Dragon Die to the threshold like normal. This can be done over much
greater time and thus some people may take longer to persuade. This is done with Communication (Bargaining and Persuasion)
Tests.
The TN for gaining an Acquaintance should begin at 9. Increasing it based on culture and race and other factors is up to the GM.
Once the person becomes an Acquaintance, the TN is increased by one level, to TN 11. To gain a Friend, it is increased one more
level to TN 13. To gain a partner is a two level jump to a TN of 17. The TN increases are for gaining information or favors. Failing a
Test on the person will force a -2 penalty on the following Test rolls. However, it will not increase TN or the Threshold. This just
makes it a bit harder to convince the person to help.
Also, keep in mind that you could also make a person dislike you. This could be done through intimidation or blackmail. While
the Acquaintance rules remain the same, the following changes are for a negative response to you.
Level
Threshold
Effect
Unsettled
10
They will give you information but a deal can be made, one that benefits you more and the guards may
or may not hear of it
Afraid
15
They will give you information and hope you dont harm them
Terrified
20
They grant you anything you want so long as they can go home alive
Fear is a good thing to have, but some may not easily scare and instead become a rival. Scaring is made with Strength
(Intimidation) Tests.
Rivals are those who flat out hate you and will do anything to ruin your day. A person who is afraid of you can easily become a
Rival. The same rules apply but instead
Level
Threshold
Negative
Competitor
10
Will give you false information or set up a minor trap
Rival
15
Will not give you any information and will try to get you into trouble
Nemesis
20
May try to kill you or set you up for a crime you didnt commit
The Threshold for a Rival is how far you have to go to convince them to back off. Someone who is a Nemesis may be convinced
you arent a bad person but it will take a hell of a lot of convincing. In that case, a Nemesis TN begins at TN 17 and will get decreases
as the level does in reverse order of a Contact. Sometimes, making a deal with the person decrease the level, but it must fit in with
their goals as well as yours. If one thing goes wrong, they may try to kill you outright. This is done with Communication (Deception)
or Strength (Intimidation) Tests.
And while fear and hatred are good things to have, sometimes seducing the target is helpful as well. Remember though, if a
person being seduced finds out that you dont really love then, then things could get really ugly really fast.

Enamored

The NPC is willing to go to bed with the PC for a bit of fun if the situation and venue allow for it with a

Lustful or Committed level or other seedy behavior the PC engages in if they become aware of them
depending on their personality. The PC will gain a +2 bonus on all social interactions with the NPC (this
replaces the bonus from the previous level)
Committed

The NPC is ready to be wed to the PC or intentionally procreate with them. The NPC will be bothered
by any other romances or seedy behavior the PC engages in, and may end the romance if they become
aware of them depending on their personality. The PC will gain a +3 bonus on all social interactions
with the NPC (this replaces the bonus from the previous level)
Any relationship on the romance side will end badly if things go south. Enamored will become a Competitor, Lustful will become
Rival, and Committed will become Nemesis. Avoiding this can be made with a Communication (Seduction or Persuasion) Test. Ended
relationships dont have to end in rivalry however, and sometimes the NPC will follow the Connections path above, becoming a
Companion, Friend, or even a Partner if the situation allows. They can also take a fearful turn and become so afraid of you and your
actions that hey steer clear of you and all those around you.
VEHICLES AND COMBAT:
Vehicles in this system are actually quite unique. For one you have 3 primary types, Land, Sea, and Air vehicles. Yes, planes and
airships do exist.
SHIP NAME/TYPE:

Free Action (Fastest) It takes crew to operate the sails: 20 for slower, 15 for average, 10 for faster

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

bonuses)/Ranges/Reload/Crew (operation)) cannot have more weaponry than crew to use them
Specialists: certain people with specialties that grant bonuses to certain types of actions.

Breathe Weapon Types:

Acid: Deals damage as above and any armor takes a -1 to their AR each round for a number of rounds equal to the beasts CON.
Water will negate/stop this effect
Ice: Deals damage as above and can immobilize the target if they fail a CON (Stamina) test of TN 9+ Beasts CON
Fire: Deals damage as above in a gout of flame and heat
Lightning: Deals above damage but targets that fail a CON (Stamina) test of TN 9+ Beasts CON Test are stunned for 1D6 rounds
and can only take minor actions
Poison: Poison usually forms a cloud but always deals above damage, which is penetrating. The Target must make a CON
(Stamina) TN 9+Creatures CON Test or take full damage and 1D6 damage every round for 1D6 rounds. They can try and resist the
poison each round by making another Test as above. Passing the Test at any time will negate the effects
Force: Force is pure kinetic energy that gets blown towards a target. The Targets that fail a TN 13 STR (Might) Test will be
knocked prone and blown back up to 4 yards, potentially taking extra damage from the fall or from hitting other objects
Breath Weapons will take one or two of the following forms:
GOUT: Gout is a 10 yard strait line area effect
CONE: Cone is an 8 yard long by 2 yard wide cone effect
LAUNCH: Launch is launched anywhere in a 10 yard area from the beast which then explodes in that area
CLOUD: Cloud is a 10 yard area from the beasts mouth, which affects the air around them
STINGERS: Often times, Stingers will hold some form of Poison. Creatures with Poison are a deadly foe and should not be taken
lightly. See Poison Breathe Weapon above for more information on how to handle the Poison effect
IMMUNITIES/VULNERABILITIES:
Some creatures have an immunity or vulnerability to certain things.
adversary has such an ability:
Immunity Level
Damage resistance
Vulnerability Level
Resistant
Half total after Armor reduction
Vulnerable
Immune
No damage from that type
Defenseless
Here is the basic concept for what happens when the

Damage taken
Damage ignores half AR
Damage is full penetrating
FEAR:
Sometimes you may come across a very odd looking beast. The Fear Level is what you need to beat as a WILL (Courage) Test. A
failed test means you make a -2 on attack rolls against them (one-time negative) and you increase the TN by 2 (only once). You must
make the Test again every turn until you pass. A total fail (total of 3 (1+1+1)) means you run/hide for 1D6 rounds.

UNCOMMON RACES:
Now some races also exist and there are more to be discovered. These are known as Uncommon Races. The uncommon races
are mostly Beastmen, who are animal-like but humanoid. No one really knows where these races come from, so this section is
mostly optional, depending on the campaign of the GM. Adding new countries and continents is the best way to include these races.
