The City of the Steam Sun. The Book of Mortals.

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The year is 1894. A mathematically and technologically advanced city was to become the new Utopia of the rational age, but a catastrophe changed everything – the city fell into Limbo, the threshold of Hell. Scientific progress faced ancient magic. The city and It’s people became trapped in a mystical realm that doesn't see sunlight.

The familiar world doesn't exist anymore. Limbo is governed by other laws, inhabited by other creatures – but the scientific method works in the most insane conditions as well. People lit their Steam Sun here. Every morning it rises above the City on a huge rail. Authorities conduct diplomatic negotiations with demons, inventors are crazy about creation of an intelligent automaton, explorers search for traces of ancient civilizations. Scientists, traders, officials, adventurers, cheaters, magicians, policemen, criminal clans,  evil geniuses and brilliant detectives, human and demons. All manner of beings can be found in the City of the Steam Sun. Who will you become?

This is the players handbook that describes a steampunk, alternative history game world. All the events take place at the end of the 19th century in the parallel reality of Limbo. A city — an artificial utopia named the City of the Sun — was transferred there from the Earth under mysterious circumstances. Having found themselves in a new reality, the citizens renamed it the Web and learned to survive in the unusual conditions found there. In order to play, you will need a copy of Pinnacle's Savage Worlds core rules.

This book consists of three parts:

 The Book of Human: This section contains basic information about the Web, its history and the organizations operating in it. Here you can also find more than 40 new Edges and Hindrances, brand new pneumatic, steam and technomagic weapons, notable characters and groups, as well as the rules for inventions. This section has all the detail needed to start a game with Novice characters.

 The Book of Demon: Here, more detailed information is found about the history of the Web. It describes what happened in the city after the Eclipse, how relations between citizens and demons developed and what the Web looks like in the present. This section also contains rules of magic, including a detailed description of three new Arcane Backgrounds: Technomages, Miracle Workers and Dark Mages. The Book of Demon should be read by those who are going to play more experienced characters who have lived in the Web for a long time.

 The Book of Angel: This section is devoted to secret societies, and contains all the information that can be obtained without membership to them. It includes more details about city politics, as well as information about the wastelands of Limbo and the ancient secrets hiding there. The Book of Angel is recommended if you are starting the game as an experienced character who knows much more than ordinary inhabitants.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
