Empire of the East (5e)
Officially licensed by the estate of Fred Saberhagen¸ this sourcebook offers everything you need to play DCC RPG campaigns in the world of the Empire of the East.
Thousands of years ago¸ the ashes of nuclear fire changed the world. The weapons of mass destruction ceased to work as the laws of physics altered. In their wake came elementals and demons¸ creatures from the darkest dreams and nightmares of mankind. Magic returned to the world. Humankind arose from the ashes and rebuilt society¸ just as the vile Empire of the East wielded the demonic powers of Orcus to sweep across the globe. Now it falls to a small group of resistance fighters to reclaim freedom for humanity!
Inside you will find:
- Rules for magic tailored to the post-apocalyptic fantasy setting of the Changeling Earth¸ including new spells and summonings to enrich any DCC campaign
- Character options for adventuring in this world
- A discussion of demons¸ elementals¸ and monsters¸ including stats for creatures compatible with any DCC and MCC campaign
- Lost technology of the Golden Age of Man¸ and its effect on the Changeling Earth
- Statistics for all of the major characters from the trilogy¸ also usable as NPCs in any DCC or MCC campaign
- Two short low-level adventures to start your campaign
- And more!
Using this sourcebook requires the DCC RPG core rulebook. While this sourcebook contains all you need to play a campaign¸ Saberhagen's novels are an invaluable resource in understanding the setting. We highly recommend you also read the Saberhagen Empire of the East series¸ available as a modern compilation or in the original three individual volumes¸ titled The Broken Lands ¸ The Black Mountains ¸ and Ardneh's World (also published as Changeling Earth ).
