Odd Soot

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s

Humanity has reached the stars

An alien plague without a cure threatens civilisation

Only a few tragic heroes can save mankind


Odd Soot is a roleplaying game of mystery and investigation set on an alternate Earth in the 1920s. Mankind has travelled into space and found alien civilisations. But a disease called The Soot spreads, driving those infected into madness. And they follow a twisted logic, wreaking havoc around them.  

With Odd Soot you can tell stories you have never heard before.

You play deep, personal characters with impressive talents and tragic backgrounds. The setting is strangely familiar – combining alien worlds with 1920s tropes – full of mysteries and unsolved enigmas. 

Odd Soot is a complete roleplaying game based on Mythras. No other books are needed to play.


'Oh, shit. Haven't read it from A to Z, but I think I'm in love. Looks really neat!’
Nils Hintze (Tales From The Loop)

'After playing it myself, I highly recommend Odd Soot for something different to add to your collective role-playing experience.’ EN World review, David J Buck

‘The world of Odd Soot is the sinister offspring of HG Wells and HP Lovecraft. […] The eponymous Soot is what sets the game apart. It is all-pervasive, reacting to violence and infecting those who enact it, inexorably dragging those infected into madness.’
Joseph R

Hi Jason, sorry for the late reply! You can find character sheets on my webpage, www.frostbytebooks.com. Scroll down past the blog posts and the PDF sheets are near the top of the list. Two versions are included, with and without Hit Locations.

It haves an amazing art with very alien lifeforms, steam/diesel punk scifi and a central twerk , the Odd soot disease that makes on the whole an original SciFi setting, far away from the most typical.

I love it, If I could, I scored it with a 4.5.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
