Roles & Rules

Uncountably many years ago, I was kicking around a selection of weird old woodcuts from alchemical manuscripts, and got the idea to write up a Baroque (in the sense of elaborate, symbolically fraught, and ideologically opposed to a simplifying tendency) set of spells based on them. Paolo (Lost Pages) aided in design and publishing and lo, the original Pergamino (scroll) was born.

With newly acquired levels in bookbinding, Lost Pages has put out a Kickstarter for a new edition that is accordion-bound, like a real folding scroll. We've made our goal and have already got new content planned: a couple of new and reworked spells, material for the back of the accordion such as a magic system based on historical Baroque-era mnemonic devices.

Curious fact: the first one of these spells I personally used in a campaign was the Appeal to the Seven Worthy Elders, which my players bought at a magic market in the Fey Paths.

 For my followers who can easily get to Canterbury in the southern UK on August 8-10, the local game shop is hosting a convention on the University of Kent campus and I will be running multiple sessions of Jennell Jaquays' Thracia using 52 Pages rules and pregen characters, including classes from the Next 52 expansion.

Register for the convention here. For my sessions, you can sign up using Warhorn here.

That is all, carry on!
