A downloadable game zine
Buy Now$6.99 USD or more
Being a volume of powers and rules and spells for use with the synthetic dream machine roleplaying system and the UVG undying earth trail setting.
Loosely compatible with most OSR roleplaying games that use levels (or hit dice, as some named them) and life scores (or hit points, as the ancients knew them).

Includes:
- cutaway map of the shiptower Haruspex, captained by the wizard Vorus, for when you need a fantasy sorsciencer's tower. Also in high resolution.
- 25 magitechnical powers in 4 albums, including the blood bullet gun fu of the Viridian Practice and the travel powers of the Dawn's Highway.
- original and reused illustrations by the author. Purportedly some are rather nice.
- cryptic in-world fictions. Terrible purple prose. Just the way you like it.
- rules for using powers fueled by characters' lives (or hit points).
- mechanics for creating new powers.
- corruption tables for mutating characters when they misuse powers.
Digital softcover, electronic staples included, 48 pages.
Deadwood print edition available exclusively at Exalted Funeral.

You can get the synthetic dream machine game (and most of the spells) for free on the SDM website.

I recently purchased a digital + physical copy of Magitecnica from Ratti Incantati. However, the digital copy seems to be an earlier ("Tessellated Edition v1.0 Lotus") draft that's missing stuff from the finished ("Stratometaedition v.1.0 Teal Rufus") book... For example, the cutaway 3D map view that's found in the physical book's inside back papers. I checked with RI and with Exalted Funeral who both say the "Tessellated [...] Lotus" is all they have.
Anyway, I'm wondering, was that as intended... ? Can I only buy a digital "Stratometaedition [...] Teal Rufus" copy via Itch or Drivethru? Please let me know, when you've a few moments.
All the best!
p.s., Magitecnica is awesome. Thank you.
I have this both in print and in PDF. Both are beautiful! This book offers a wonderful resource of all things magical for use with Ultraviolet Grasslands. Definitely makes the UVG experience richer!
Thank you, and may I complement you on the very tasteful avatar. ^_^
Thank you! I'm quite fond of Patrick Nagel. :)
Thank you for reminding me of the artist's name! It had slipped my mind ^^
