Canon Classes
The two canon Classes present in this chapter are the Master Classes, otherwise known as the Lord and the Muse. Both
classes have been designed according to canon, meaning that they are stronger than most other Classes and are designed
to work in tandem together in a two-player campaign.
The Lord is a hard-hitting Striker with leader-like traits. Many of its powers are designed to either punish individual targets or
to summon allies and dominate enemies. Conversely, the Muse is a utility-oriented Controller that is designed to summon
and buff allies while denying enemies a chance at dealing damage or inflicting status conditions.
In relation to Aspects, the Muse is a Class that focuses on inspiring others. Using their Aspect, a Muse will motivate and
invigorate friends, calling them from far and wide to aid in completing grand tasks. Being an utterly Passive Class, the Muse
relies on friendship and inspiration to accomplish goals. On the opposite end of things, a Lord focuses greatly on instructing
and commanding those around them to further the Lord's ends. By taking direct control of the reins, a Lord will use their
Aspect to dictate actions, and in some cases even dominating others all in the pursuit of success and accomplishment.
Semi-Canon Classes
Four semi-canon Classes have been included in this chapter, all of which have been drawn from in-jokes and theories from
the MSPA Fandom. Tailored to function like any other Class, players can act as a Waste, a Gent, a Huss, and a Nick.
Mechanic-wise, Wastes are a Striker class that significantly improve after failing rolls. Many Waste attacks have options to
reduce attack rolls in exchange for massively boosted rolls and damage with subsequent attacks. Next, Gents are a Leader
class that grants additional attacks to allies and restrain foes. In addition, Gents have a trait that allows them to deal
additional damage when they have unused actions at the end of their turn. Huss class members are Controllers that force
enemies to take particular actions while also dealing wide damage to different targets, mostly in an attempt to provide allies
with better tactical options. Conversely, Nicks are Defenders that specialize in attracting attention and drawing ire from
combatants. Nicks have attacks that increase in damage when more targets are adjacent to them, as well as a trait that
provokes individuals targets.
Examining the Semi-Canon Classes offers interesting story-related paths for GM's and players. Wastes are a Passive Class
that derive power in a peculiar way; they spend a great deal of effort using their Aspect without accomplishing anything of
significance, instead succeeding by using unlikely abilities and routes. Meanwhile, the Active counterpart to a Waste is a
Gent. Gents actively deny themselves access to their Aspect, which grants them strength by subverting their Title.
The other pair is the Huss and the Nick. A Huss is like an author of the world around them; Husses are a Passive class that
use their Aspects to will moments into being and to guide paths and directions around them. The other side of the coin is the
Nick. The Nick is an Active Class that uses its Aspect to draw attention and to carry and lead others forward. For all intents
and purposes, Husses are authors to the story, while Nicks are protagonists.
Semi-Canon Aspects
Like with the Semi-Canon Classes, two Semi-Canon Aspects form a part of this chapter, which have also been drawn from
the MSPA sub-culture. Players may utilize the powers of the Piss and Lips Aspects as a part of their campaigns, with each
offering powers and possibilities of exploration.
The Piss Aspect represents more than just urine, although that bodily fluid can and often does factor into the equation.
Rather, Piss represents the discarded, the valueless, and the forgotten. In using ideas and objects discarded by others, a
Hero of Piss can transform them into highly valuable and effective tools. In opposing fashion, the Lips Aspect is entirely
about the vaunted and celebrated. Certainly, a Hero of Lips would be using their mouth and their voice more often than
anyone else. Nevertheless, Lips centers on drawing strength from what is well-known and desired.
When paired with a Class, the Piss Aspect offers abilities that weaken and immobilize foes, while also refreshing spent
powers and items. A Hero of Lips while instead be able to utilize the attacks of others, as well as repeating effective actions
and entrancing foes.
Muse (Controller)
At times in your life, you've felt powerless or unable to do anything to alter events as they unfold
around you. While you may have perceived this as a failing in yourself, through the lens of a Muse you
realize that your flaws are really your strengths. As one of the Master Classes, your role inspires
others to take up your cause, often when you are unable to do so yourself. Simply by existing and
struggling, you serve to motivate countless others towards action, like a conductor to an orchestra.

Nothing is ever easy. Anyone who has ever made anything of themselves knows that success only comes to

effort into ultimate command, allowing you to cast orders and take charge like no other. Simply by
existing and struggling, others will bend their knee to you and your power, like a garbage truck
plowing through the wall of an industrial beef mill.

Expanded Aggrievements
While Classes and Aspects provide a plethora of Aggrievements, Boons and
Fraymotifs for players to use, sometimes it helps to have a few more options
to choose from. In keeping with that idea, below is an expanded list of 1st
Level Aggrievements which your players may find to their liking. They expand
and solidify the sorts of roles each Class and Aspect might fill, as well as
afford players flexibility and interesting tactics.
At the DM's discretion, these Aggrievements may be added to the list of
Aggrievements available for selection, with Class Aggrievements available at
both 1st Level and 8th Level, and Aspect Aggrievements available at 8th
Level.

Specialty Skills
Sometimes characters might embody skills that don't fit the mold for the the variety of Skills presented in the Homestuck
RPG. Perhaps you have a vision for a character with a narrow skill range that they make significant use of. For those such
characters, using what are called Specialty Skills may allow for a more distinctive approach to solving problems and
achieving goals.
Specialty Skills function thus: When building your character, apply the Skill Bonuses you earn from your Class and Aspect.
However, when you are rolling for or deciding on your third Skill Bonus, you do not apply that bonus.
Instead, you create a new Skill for yourself, which you can write in underneath your other Skills. This Skill is one you create
in conjunction with the GM, and which will instead receive your Skill Bonus. The Skill in question is one that is narrow in
scope and fits only a small field of uses. When created, an appropriate Attribute will attached to that Skill, granting it the
Attribute's modifier. While the new Skill's usage is more limited than other, broader Skills, there is a benefit to this selection:
the Skill Bonus applied to the new Specialty Skill is a +6 instead of a +4, and when you roll to confirm Positive
Complications with this Skill, you gain a +1 bonus to that roll!
Thus, Specialty Skills reflect a significant mastery of a minor range of abilities. With a little imagination, a character may be
able to incorporate their chosen Specialty Skill into situations which normally wouldn't call for its use. For instance:
Dirk Strider, as a Prince of Heart, gets Skill Bonuses for Chumming and
Trolling. Instead of using his third bonus for another Skill, he instead
decides to create a Specialty Skill centered around Board-riding. After
communicating with the GM about his choice, Dirk creates the skill, applies
the +6 Skill Bonus to it, as well as his Acumen modifier, the Attribute
attached to the skill.
Now, whenever presented with an obstacle that can be confronted with a Skill
check, Dirk has the option to try to use Board-riding to solve the problem.
Sure, thrashing on a rocket-powered hoverboard usually won't achieve anything,
but when applied creatively, the new Board-riding skill may make for an
effective tool.
Ultimately, whether or not Specialty Skills will be used, as well as if a Specialty Skill will be appropriate for a campaign, is
determined by the GM. However, by working with your GM, you may find you can create a character with unique abilities
that can achieve great things in an adventure. However, keep in mind that the choice for a Specialty Skill must be made
when the character is being created, and once applied, it cannot be removed!
Combining Fraymotifs
Do you have players wanting to team up and cause a real firestorm together? Are bosses not dying fast enough? Consider
allowing your players to combine their Fraymotifs together to create a devastating combo attack!
In order to combine Fraymotifs, one player must ready an action. The action is to use one of their Fraymotifs (earned at
Levels 5 and 9) on a target, with the trigger being another ally using their own Fraymotif. When the second player's
Fraymotif is used, the first player's Fraymotif is activated, and both deal damage simultaneously.
In order to gain any benefit from this manuver, both Fraymotifs must hit at least one target each. However, when both do so,
each player may add 1[W] + their level additional damage to their attack! In addition, if either Fraymotifs have a specific
damage type, you may apply that damage type to both attacks!
Dave Strider and Jade Harley are involved in a Strife with Jack Noir. Instead
of fighting solo, both decide to bust out some of their Fraymotifs to do some
serious damage. Dave readies an action, prepared to use his Knight Fraymotif
'Come At Me, Nookchompers!' against Jack as soon as Jade attacks. Jade is next
in initiative order, and immediately uses her Witch Fraymotif 'Carpe
Retractum'. Both Fraymotifs go off and successfully hit Jack Noir, fusing
their attack into the vaunted 'Adagio Redshift' Combo Fraymotif, and granting
Jade and Dave additional damage.
Combo Fraymotifs allow players to work together more and feel more invested in combat. Feel free to allow players to
improvise names and appearances for their attacks, and provide vivid descriptions of the power unleashed between the two
of them.
If your players are feeling particularly in-tune with each other, consider increasing the number of people involved in a
Combo Fraymotif. Whenever an player readies a Fraymotif, add an additional 1[W] damage to the potential damage that
could be stacked onto each individual attack. The risk of failing the combo increases as more players join, but so does the
potential damage! Just keep in mind that only Fraymotifs are allowed to be combined. Since Fraymotifs are powerful
Encounter Powers, they are limited to individual uses and should be saved for special moments.
Comb Raves
Want to radically increase the stakes when it comes to combat? Have you ever thought 'Hey, I'm hitting these bad guys a lot
here. I wonder if there is any way I could use that to my advantage?”. Well, now you can! Whenever you hit an enemy, little
Worker Bees will collect the Pang Nectar produced by their injury, and then take the Nectar to the Impetus Comb where it...
wait, wrong webcomic.
Borrowing an idea from a related series (cough), you can include rules to allow players to achieve Comb Raves in Sburb.
While they may not provide the same power output as Sepulchritude or function quite the same, they will allow for more
damage and more action as players race to gather enough Jocose Honey before unleashing their Raves against a powerful
enemy.
Comb Raves work like this: Every time a player uses a power that successfully deals damage to an enemy, mark down how
much damage was dealt to that enemy after Resistances, Vulnerabilities and everything else. After six successful damage-
producing hits, total up the amount of damage dealt. With their next attacks, the player may power up that attack with their
Comb Rave, dealing additional damage equal to ¼ of the total damage dealt from the eight prior hits. A powerful player can
stack on significant damage with a well-timed Comb Rave!
Multiple targets hit or multiple hits to one target with one Power do not count; only count the hit that produces the most
damage. In addition, Elite and Solo monsters are able to use Comb Raves as well, so keep track of damage totals for those
monsters as well. No one said it was a one-sided deal!
Self-Prototyping
Players may make choices that lead them to prototype themselves. Whether it's a time clone, a copy from a doomed
timeline, or the player themselves, the possibility exists for players to gain the powers and knowledge of a sprite. Making
this choice significantly alters a player's path, leaving them in a strange limbo. If the new Sprite finds themselves guiding the
'real' player, that Sprite will now have to grapple with the realities of being an alternate. If the 'real' player finds themselves
incorporated into their own Sprite or another player's Sprite, their path of discovery now becomes more roundabout, more
chaotic, and certainly less straightforward.
Either way, self-prototyped players will now have new options in terms of combat, skill, and ability. Upon becoming a Sprite,
remove all Templates. You will now operate solely under a new Exclusive Template: the Sprite Template.
Sprite
• Sprites have access to limitless knowledge concerning Sburb, the game world, its inhabitants, and the paths of the the
characters. You no longer have access to Skaian Lore. Instead, you may now discreetly ask the DM for complete
information pertaining to Sburb. Since sprites are wily and give out information when it's deemed necessary, other Player
Characters must now make Skaian Lore checks against your Chumming check to glean any information from you.
• You gain a Fly Speed of 6 (hover), and you have the Insubstantial property.
• Based on your other Prototypings (or purely your own personality), you may choose one Sprite Archetype to apply to
yourself.
• At your discretion, you may use or replace one of your starting Aggrievements with a Sprite Aggrievement of your choice.
• You have the powers granted to you through Prototyping at your disposal. Apply any applicable Prototyping Templates to
your character.
• Sprites no longer need material objects. You no longer gain Alchemy Points and cannot Alchemize items beyond that are
necessary for the plot.
• You are now a Sprite, which may entail many other story effects.
Because of your radical choice to become a Sprite, your quest may change entirely depending on the DM's choices and
your effect on the game. Ultimately, it may be up to the DM to decide whether or not it is appropriate for one of his players to
become their own Sprite, so consult with your DM before making the (arguably foolish) decision.
Due to the effects of becoming a Sprite, you may no longer choose to be an Aspect Paragon or Class Paragon when
choosing your Epic Boon. However, you may still be eligible for the Signature Alchemy and God-Tier Boons. Keep in mind
though that upon becoming a God-Tier, you lose the effects of the Sprite Template and revert to your prior Templates!
Double Prototyping
It is possible, through a series of rather unique circumstances, to Prototype a Sprite with another Sprite, producing a Double
Sprite. When one Sprite has been Prototyped only once, another Sprite (either singly- or doubly Prototyped) can fuse with
the first.
For Sprites that are not Self-Prototyped, a Double Sprite will have these features in addition to its ordinary Sprite Statistics:
• A Double Sprite has all applicable Prototyping Templates applied to it.
• The Hit Points of a Double Sprite now equal (your level x 10) + 20, its Armor Class equals 18 + your level, and its Fortitude,
Reflex, and Will are now 15 + your level.
• The Fly Speed of a Double Sprite is now 8, and its Initiative is 6 + your level. Double Sprites may immediately teleport anywhere
they choose within the Medium once per Encounter, leaving behind a Window or Portal that lasts as long as the Double Sprite
desires it to. A creature or player may jump through the Portal, allowing them to follow the Double Sprite.
For Characters that are Self-Prototyped, they take on the Double Sprite Common Template in addition to the Sprite
Exclusive Template:
Double Sprite
• Thanks to your double prototyping, you have gained a significant burst of strength, speed, and skill. You gain 2 HP per
level, a +3 bonus to Initiative, and a +2 bonus to all defenses.
• Your dual Sprite powers (and new legs) have boosted your Speed. You now have a Fly Speed of 8 (hover).
• The Medium is now your playground. You may immediately teleport anywhere you choose within the Medium once per
Encounter, leaving behind a Window or Portal that lasts as long as you desire. A player or monster may jump through the
Portal, allowing them to follow you.
• You are now a Double Sprite, which may entail many other (significant) story effects.
Quirks And Flaws
Adding personalty to your character can lead to roleplaying situations with more nuance, intrigue, and suspense. So why
not get some benefit from playing a character with a little something special added to the way they behave?
When building a character, you have the option of incorporating Quirks and Flaws. Quirks are personality features that
provide both a benefit and a drawback, and represent the common kinds of features you'd find in a person. For instance, a
character with a hot streak may take the Aggressive Quirk, leading them to gain a bonus to their Initiative while taking a
penalty to their Armor Class.
A character may only have two Quirks at a time, unless they choose to accept a Flaw. A Flaw is a personal failing that
affects that character negatively. For instance, a character with the Cowardly Flaw will face difficulties making attack rolls
against enemies. While normally a Flaw is undesirable, adding Flaws to your character allows you to increase the number
of Quirks you can take on. You can only take on up to two Flaws, which can increase your total number of Quirks to four.
Remember, if you take on Quirks and Flaws, they must also be incorporated into how you roleplay the character. If you take
on the Aggressive Quirk, your character should behave aggressively and try to pick fights regularly. The GM may decide to
remove or add Quirks and Flaws at their discretion if your roleplaying shifts in a different direction. When selecting a Quirk
or Flaw, if given the choice between multiple bonuses or drawbacks, you must choose one. Your selection is permanent and
cannot be changed without a significant event, a major shift in roleplaying, or at your GM's discretion.

is five new options for Modi that players may make use of.

may use either a Science, Mysteries, Skaian Lore, or Perception check against the item's DC. Blue Items have a DC of

GM will judge if the drawing matches what the item looks like. If the drawing matches, you get the item. If the drawing is

does not look like the item requested, you do not get the item.

Additionally, players may decide to invest in Alchemiter Upgrades, which provide latent bonuses to Alchemy at the expense of collective
Alchemy Points. In order to purchase an Alchemiter Upgrade, all players must decide to spend the Collective Point Cost, meaning each
player must spend the cost of the upgrade individually before the upgrade is available to everyone.
Example: John, Jade, Rose and Dave wish to add the Recycler Upgrade to their Alchemiters.
Each kid must spend 2.5 of their Alchemy points in order to grant everyone the perks of
the Upgrade. Once they each spend 2.5 points, they can now use the perks of that Upgrade!
Once the Upgrade has been unlocked, you never lose that Upgrade, so don't be afraid to make an investment in your future creations!
Individual Upgrade

If you have spent 4 or more points on one item, you may spend an additional .5
2 Efficient points on that object for free.
2.5 Recycler When you use the Upgrade/Duplicate trait to build an item, the cost is now -1.
When making Weapons, players may automatically apply one Elemental Infusion
3 Infuser trait for free to that Weapon. You may not reapply the Elemental Infusion
trait when using the Upgrade/Duplicate trait to upgrade a Weapon.
Players can now manufacture powerful customized Collectible and Power Traits
with the GM, which they can apply to their own personal items. The extent of
3.5 Creator the Trait's abilities, as well as the cost of the Trait itself are determined
at the GM's discretion.
Common Tab Items
Players already have access to a massive repertoire of items, trinkets, and tools that their characters can employ during
their travels, but just to add to the zany abilities and options available to them, this list provides new Common Tab Items to
add to their Common Tabs. Keep in mind that you can adapt and alter these items in any way you wish in order to make it
more in keeping with your campaign.

Rare Items And Treasures
Listed below are numerous examples of Weapons, Armor, Trinkets, and other such treasures that can be sprinkled
throughout campaigns. Each is listed by their appropriate level, what traits are applied, and what Specibus they fall under.
Many items in this section come equipped with Traits specific to them, although if you decide to, you can make use of them
yourself (most such Traits tend to be expensive, costing about 3 or 4 points to apply to an Alchemized item; use your better
judgment when allowing players to purchase these traits). If your players decide to use these treasures in upgrades, keep in
mind that the point cost for each item is its Level – 1 (for example, Ahab's Crosshairs are a level 8 Weapon, meaning it
costs 7 points to Alchemize).
If you are interested in creating your own rare items, use what is in this section as a basis for item creation. Items like these,
especially when found as treasure at the end of a quest, typically are expensive in terms of Alchemy Points, feature special
and unique traits, and have a focus for its use (for example, Caledfwlch is designed specifically to be effective against Lord
English and any of his minions, while the Fluorite Octet focuses on its utter randomness).
Canon Weapons
Ahab's Crosshairs (Lv. 8)
(Heavy Rangedkind)
Riflekind
A mythic firearm with a level of damage unmatched by nigh any other gun, Ahab's Crosshairs is a pure outpouring of electric-blue energy
from an ornate oceanic rifle. While the quality of the wielder may often be poor, the ability the Crosshairs has to incinerate a target with a
single hit is not to be underestimated under any circumstances.

Presenting itself to legendary heroes undertaking quests of great peril and risk,

Bewitched By Its Beauty
sord..... (Lv. 2)
(Bladed Meleekind)
Bladekind
Crafted from the shittiest swords and the finest comics Earth has to
offer, this SBAHJ-themed sword provides little purchase when it
comes to holding it, let alone swinging it in the vicinity of a foe.
Nevertheless, those fool-hardy enough to employ such a weapon may
find that while common use of the blade results in little damage and a
lot of headaches, a true hero can transform sord..... into a killing
machine.

their starting conditions and positions, and Initiative is rolled again, as

Canon Armor
Junior Ectobiologist's Lab Suit (Lv. 4)

their, waiting for the designated Ectobiologist of the Session to don it and create the Paradox Clones destined

Solitary Confinement
Canon Trinkets
Fenestrated Wall (Lv. 9)
Its origins and powers shrouded in mystery, a Fenestrated Wall has
particular uses who are in the know about some of what it can do. It can
be used for video surveillance, allowing the user to view events from a
distance. In addition, it can be connected to another Wall, allowing the
user to transport through the void of the Furthest Ring into another
Wall, resulting in near instantaneous transportation. Nevertheless,
many fear the powers of the Wall, as well as its connection to the Void
and the fourth-wall-breaking plot.
Dark Fenestrology
Matriorb (Lv. 7)
Precious beyond compare, a Matriorb is an egg that hatches a Mother Grub, the being that
produces Trolls. It is vital to starting a new Alternian civilization and can spell hope or doom to
whoever holds it, resulting in it needing constant protection. When held (especially by Trolls), it
bolsters spirits and inspires daring acts of heroism in the pursuit of new, more hopeful futures.

Encounter (Duration Trait) – The traits gained last until the end of the encounter.
Topsy-Turvy
Aspect Treasures
As Heroes travel along their paths and grow as beings, they will start to uncover the powers granted to them by their
Aspect. Blood Players start organizing groups together, Life Players start healing and growing everything around them, and
Rage Players flip the fuck out. At this point, many players uncover treasures and artifacts that help them develop their
powers even further.
Aspect Treasures count as special Trinkets Items.
They feature no Encounter Power since they are
meant to be used frequently and in conjunction with
a Hero's regular abilities. Instead, the rules for their
use are included in their Traits, which are starred to
indicate their importance. Aspect Treasures cannot
be Upgraded in Alchemy unless the intended
Alchemization has a cost of 7points or more.
These Treasures all bear powerful and complex
abilities that must be managed wisely by GM's.
Often, once a player acquires their Treasure, they
will attempt to use it often and in unexpected ways.
As a GM, make sure to allow uses of the Treasure,
but impose reasonable limits on its use, and don't
forget to enforce the strict rules of use found in the
Trait's description. If you're not sure you want to
include sure powerful artifacts in your game, then
don't do so. However, finding such a treasure can
make for an exciting adventure and a noteworthy
payoff that your players may enjoy immensely.
Material Adjuster (Lv. 7)
Trinket Item
Often shaped like a scientific sensor or emitter, the Material Adjuster is a powerful device for matter alteration that allows a
Hero of Space to control the shape and structure of space around them. Its user can travel adjust the physical features and
movement of an object wholly. However, the Material Adjuster is not complex, and altering item properties can have
profound and unintended consequences if used improperly.
Often shaped like a musical instrument or apparatus, the Time Machine is a powerful device for timeline management that
allows a Hero of Time to control the flow of time around them. Its user can travel backwards and forwards in time within their
current dimension, and may affect events across the timeline. However, the Time Machine is not a toy; stable time loops
have to be completed, and fussing with the timeline in incorrect ways can result in offshoot timelines, failed Sessions, and
dead yous.
Often shaped like an ornate book or scroll, the Tome of Knowledge is a complex artifact that provides insight and answers
to any question, allowing a Hero of Light to have control over countless outcomes. Its user can access it and find riddles,
hints, clues, and knowledge on anything weighing on their mind. Nevertheless, the Tome of Knowledge is not perfect, and
can give vague or inconclusive answers that fall upon a Light player to properly interpret.
Minor (Trinket Activation Trait) - .5
The power is activated as a Minor action.
Collectible (Trinket Power Trait) - .5
At the GM's discretion, you may make one Trinket Alchemy trait a Collectible trait in addition to a
Power trait. The GM determines what effects and limitations the Collectible will have.
Universal Knowledge (Trinket Power Trait) – 5
You may ask the GM one question in private concerning anything in your campaign. The GM will provide
an answer appropriate to the question, whether it is a hint, clue, riddle, or a straight answer. This
ability may be used as often as you like while outside of Combat Encounters. This Trait may have
additional story implications. This Trait must be purchased with a Collectible trait attached to it.
Often shaped like a plain, unassuming ring or bracelet, the Invisibility Ring is a plain piece of jewelry with the power to
shield the wearer or an object they touch from the senses, allowing a Hero of Void to obscure and obfuscate the awareness
of others. Its user can wear it and become invisible, or touch the Ring and cast a temporary spell of invisibility on an object,
piece of knowledge, or person. Nonetheless, the Invisibility Ring cannot perfectly shield whatever it is used on; the wearer
still exists and can be found by other senses, as can the objects they touch.
Often shaped like a watch or remote, the Growth Gadget grants the power of healing and resurrection, allowing a Hero of
Life to resist death and grow life all around them. Its improves the cells of a being, allowing them to multiply and heal at an
alarming rate. However, the Growth Gadget can only do so much; once used on a target, the device can never be reused
on it again.
Often shaped like a deck of tarot cards or a horoscope chart, the Prophecy Device guards the life of its user and those
associated with them from one life-ending event, allowing a Hero of Doom to alter the inevitable destruction of those around
them. Its user can become aware of and instantly erase one negative event, no matter how powerful that moment is or
when that moment happens. Even so, the Prophecy Device won't save everyone; the protection granted from the Prophecy
Device blocks only one event in that person's life and can never be used to save that person again.
Often shaped like a talisman or holy symbol, the Astral Projector grants the power to project the user's soul into the world,
allowing a Hero of Heart to travel freely like a ghost and possess other living beings. Its user can cast their soul out, which
moves through physical objects freely and is invisible. Even so, the Astral Projector has its limits; the wearer's soul can only
travel so far away from their host body, and must fight the mind of the person they possess constantly to maintain control.
Often shaped like a camera or telescope, the Cause-Effect Viewscope offers sight into the consequences of actions,
allowing a Hero of Mind to understand the possibilities arising from theirs and others actions. Its user can view future
events related to a possible action, giving them a small glimpse as to what could happen. All the same, the Cause-Effect
Viewscope only shows so much; the user only sees small glimpses of the big picture, such that the distant future is
exceedingly difficult to determine and the near future is only partly revealed.
Often shaped like a crystalline globe or sphere, the Belief Cascader is a reality-warping device that allows a Hero
of Hope to create objects, people, and other pieces of pure imagination and bring them into the real world for a
short time. Its user can use their imagination to will anything they can think of into being, and can use the beliefs
and hopes of others around them to allow such a thing to exist for even longer. However, the Belief Cascader is not
a permanent creator; concentration is required to allow the figment to continue to exist, and some things may turn
out to be just too hard to believe in, no matter your emotional investment in their existence.
Often shaped like gloves or gauntlets, the Rager Gauntlet imbues the wearer with extreme strength and rage, allowing a
Hero of Rage to access their limitless anger and direct it through their body. Its user can double their strength and
constitution for a time, allowing them to deal more damage, lift immense objects, and take more damage. However, the
Rager Gauntlet requires caution; using the Gauntlet will rapidly drain energy from the body and leave the user weakened
and vulnerable.
Often shaped like a pair of boots or shinguards, the Directional Contrivance is an impressive tool for liberated
movement that allows a Hero of Breath to move freely across any terrain. Its user can for a brief time move through the
air, water, difficult terrain, or other impeding environments. However, the Directional Contrivance is not a all-powerful; its
user cannot go through solid objects and cannot carry any significant loads with them while they move unimpeded.
Often shaped like a metallic cloak or cape, the Union Apparatus is an inspiring instrument for social cooperation that
allows a Hero of Blood to affect relations between individuals. Its user can cast a commanding presence within a small
radius, subtly guiding their attitudes and actions towards positive or negative feelings. However, the Union Apparatus is
not a foolproof; individuals with strong feelings one way or another can resist the influence of the Apparatus and behave
as they normally would, for good or ill.
Components of a Land
Lands have several vital components that need to be included in their
construction. Every Land must have a race of Consorts inhabiting it and the villages they inhabit, a Denizen that occupies
the land (including their stronghold), Gates in important locations which connect that Land to other Lands in the Session,
and a Quest Bed.
Lands also typically incorporate structures, objects, and features throughout it that inspire questing or must be altered as a
part of the continuing quest of each Hero. For example, John Egbert finds himself in the Land of Wind and Shade, a dark
and windy realm polluted by oil and obscured by clouds that prevent fireflies from leaving. During his quest, John
adventures through LOWAS, removing the oil, completing a deal with his Denizen to have it cease its machinations, and
clearing the clouds from the sky.
Denizens tend to occupy mighty strongholds on or within the Land, where they slumber waiting for players to reach them.
These locations often make exciting quests in later levels. Consort villages also serve as resting places or as starting points
for adventures. Gates are useful for allowing players to travel to their friend's Lands where they can quest together. Finally,
Quest Beds can serve as important quest hooks, as players research and adventure across their realm looking for this font
of power.
The complexity and utter difficulty of Dead Sessions means that a GM will have to create up to 16 distinct planets for one
player. Consider this the most challenging path to Land creation, and be fully prepared to have a plan laid out for the
structure of such a game.
Groups of Soldiers
Groups of soldiers fall into four size categories: Fireteams, Squad, Platoons, and Phalanxes, each with different numbers,
abilities, and compositions of troops.
Fireteam Fireteam are made up of 4 individual units. Fireteams are special in that they can have a specific role which
grants them bonuses when utilized. A fireteam takes up 1 square of space.
• Medical: All allied adjacent units regain 2 hit points at the start of their turn.
• Artillery: This group gains a +3 bonus to Range, and are the only fireteam capable of manning Artillery weapons.
• Scouting: This group gains a bonus to Stealth equal to their level, and a +2 bonus to Speed. This group's hit points drop by 1/4.
• Operations: All allied adjacent units gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls at the start of their next turn, and are the only fireteam that can create emplacements.
Squad Squads are made up of 8 individual units. A squad can have one (1) War Machine as a part of the group (either
a Rook Defender or Bishop Acolyte). A squad takes up the same space as a Large creature.
Platoon Platoons are made up of 16 individual units. A platoon can have two (2) War Machines as a part of the group
(either Rook Defenders or Bishop Acolytes). A platoon takes up the same space as a Huge creature.
Phalanx Phalanxes are made up of 32 individual units. A phalanx can have four (4) War Machines (either Rook
Defenders or Bishop Acolytes) or one (1) heavy War Machine (a Rook Spider-Walker, a Bishop Curate, or a
Knight Inquisiclops) as a part of the group. A phalanx takes up the same space as a Gargantuan creature.
War Machines
Prospit and Derse employ massive genetically-engineered and cybernetically-enhanced Carapacians which on the
battlefield are referred to as War Machines. War Machines encompass all Rooks, Bishops and Knights that are employed
by each respective army, and have special rules associated with them.
War Machines are categorized by size and strength into Regular, Heavy, and Super-Heavy types. All types can serve as
individual units; however, only Regular and Heavy units can be included in a group. Regular War Machines can fit into
Squads, Platoons and Phalanxes, while Heavy War Machines can only fit into Phalanxes.
Level The average level of every member of the group. Soldier units count for their level +2
Initiative The total initiative of the group. All units are counted as having a total initiative of 0. Artillery units gain a
+4 bonus, Lurker units gain a +2 bonus, and Brute units take a -2 penalty.
HP The total number of levels in the group.
AC The average AC of the group. Skirmisher and Soldier units count for their AC +2.
Fortitude The average Fortitude of the group. Brute units count for their FORT +2.
Reflex The average Reflex of the group. Units with a Speed higher than 6 count for +1 REF for every point above
6. Skirmisher units count for their REF +2.
Will The average Will of the group. Soldier units count for their WIL +2.
Speed The movement speed of the group. All groups move at a Speed of 4. Groups composed of entirely
Skirmishers and Lurkers can move at a Speed of 6.
Attack Bonus The average level of the group + 5. Controllers count for their level +4
Range The average range of all units with ranged basic attacks in the group. Artillery count for their level +4
Damage Most groups use the Normal Damage column per level in the table below. If 1/3 or more of the group has
ranged attacks, use the Ranged Damage Column. If 1/3 or more of the group is an Artillery unit, use the
Artillery Damage Column. Each group has a basic attack that targets AC.
Below is an example of a stat block for a Platoon composed of seven (7) Pawn Footmen, seven (7) Pawn Archers, and two
(2) Rook Defenders.
Mortar The mortars fielded by Carapacians are portable bomb launchers that fire into the air, launching the
bombs in a high arc that drops down on targets. The mortar can launch small projectiles up to 25
squares away. Mortars deal 2d6+3 fire and thunder damage in an Area Burst 1.
Cannon These standard artillery pieces fire metal balls at targets on a horizontal plane. Cannons can fire at
targets up to 25 squares away. Cannons deal 2d8+4 fire damage in an Area Burst 2.
Howitzer A large cannon that fires at a higher angle, the howitzer can hit targets with its heavy metal balls up to
40 squares away. Howitzers deal 3d6+5 fire damage in an Area Burst 3. Howitzers ignore the Superior
Cover of Pillboxes.
Anti-Aircraft Gun Anti-aircraft guns are designed to target the aerial vehicles flying over the Battlefield. They fire
exploding shells that fling flak at aircraft, shredding apart their hulls. AA guns are only effective against
aircraft, and cannot generally be aimed at ground targets. AA Guns can hit air targets up to 40
squares away. Anti-Aircraft Guns deal 2d8+5 fire damage in an Area Burst 3.
Tent Tents are portable, temporary housing, storage and operational areas that soldiers operate out from. Tents
are divided into four types. Tents take 30 minutes to construct.
• Medical: Must be manned by a Medical fireteam. Any units that spend a turn in this tent recover a quarter of their hit points. Only one tent can
provide this bonus.
• Command: As long as a fireteam remains in this tent, all allied units gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls. Only one tent can provide this bonus.
• Barracks: Barracks tents allow up to 32 soldiers beds to take Extended Rests.
Foxhole Foxholes are small trenches big enough to accommodate only a few people. A single fireteam can fit into a
foxhole. While in a foxhole, a fireteam gains Cover. Foxholes take 1 hour to construct.
Trench Trenches are excavations in the ground that protect troops from incoming fire. A platoon can fit into a single
Trench. Soldiers in a Trench gain Superior Cover but take a -2 penalty to attack rolls. Trenches take 3
hours to construct
Pillbox Pillboxes are hardened concrete structures that allow superior defense and effective firing positions. A
squad can fit into a single Pillbox, and Artillery weapons can be placed inside, allowing them to be fired
from the pillbox. Soldiers in a Pillbox gain Superior Cover. Mortars ignore this Superior Cover, allowing
them to damage soldiers and Artillery inside. Pillboxes have an Armor Class of 22 and 50 Hit Points
before they are destroyed. Pillboxes take 24 hours to construct.
Minefield Minefields are large spaces of land covered in explosives that automatically detonate when tripped by a
target. Whenever a target steps into a minefield square, roll a 1d4. On a roll of 1 or 2, a mine explodes and
deals 2d8+4 fire damage in an Area Burst 1. Mines can be disabled with a DC 20 Mysteries check, or can
be set of by placing or throwing something with at least 50 pounds of mass on the square in question.
Minefields can be up to 10 by 30 squares in size and take 8 hours to construct.
Barbed Wire Barbed wire is a type of fencing that limits movement thanks to wiring covered in sharp barbs. Barbed wire
squares count as difficult terrain, and when a target steps into a barbed wire square, they take 1d6+3
damage. Barbed wire can easily be cut with a DC 10 Mysteries check, removing it from one square. Barbed
wire can extend as long as 30 feet and require 4 hours to construct.
Artillery and emplacements are generally rare, so make sure to limit the amount each army owns or receives. When certain
armies are defending, make sure to provide them with more defenses and emplacements to reflect their entrenched
positions.
Command Actions
Leaders in the Prospitian and Dersite military have access to direct communications between their units. A Commanding
Officer can get in contact with individual leaders of fireteams, squads, platoons, and phalanxes. A CO may also

Command actions are special actions in that they delegate the motions of units rather than directly affect them. When a
commander uses a command action on a group of units, say a Fireteam of Pawn Footmen, that commander dictates what
they'll do when their turn comes to pass. So when the Fireteam is give the Move command, when that Fireteam takes their
turn in the Initiative order, they then execute that command, using a Move action to perform the Move command.
Tide of Battle
As your troops fight and die in the traumatic and violent meat grinder of battle, their morale will fluctuate, and they will
increasingly turn to their leaders to inspire them and motivate them to keep going. In the heat of battle, soldiers that see
their lives flash before their eyes are that much closer to turning tail and running. Thus, commanders must pay attention to
the status of their armies and know when to improve morale, hold the line, or surrender.
As your army dwindles in size and your forces fall, they will require a use of the Discipline action, which will set your forces
back in line. If the action fails or isn't taken, your forces will find their will to fight falter, sparking a general retreat or even a
possible surrender! However, if the Discipline action is successfully used, your soldiers will remain steadfast and continue
fighting, even when the battle looks hopeless. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of the Discipline action hinges on the
experience of your forces; rookie forces lack the willpower and confidence that seasoned veterans enjoy, and will be all the
more likely to fall back. In addition, as your forces continue to suffer, the effectiveness of the Discipline action decreases,
resulting in the action's DC increasing with each step in the tide of battle. Make sure to keep your forces strong and avoid
unnecessary casualties!
Tide of Battle
25% OF UNITS DESTROYED - That side retreats. If unable to retreat, that side surrenders instead. The battle only continues if the
Army's leader performs the 'Discipline' Command Action.
50% OF UNITS DESTROYED - That side retreats. If unable to retreat, that side surrenders instead. The battle only continues if the
Army's leader performs the 'Discipline' Command Action with a +3 DC.
75% OF UNITS DESTROYED - That side retreats. If unable to retreat, that side surrenders instead. The battle only continues if the
Army's leader performs the 'Discipline' Command Action with a +5 DC.
Determining Casualties
Soldiers under your command will fall, outposts and defenses will be destroyed, and you will suffer casualties across the
board. Ordinarily, determining if a single unit falls is easy; if they drop to zero hit points, they die. However, in large groups,
the rules change, and casualties are determined differently.
When attempting to determine the casualties suffered by a group after a battle, first determine what percentage or fraction
of hit points were lost by the group during combat. Then, remove that percentage or fraction from the total number of
individuals in the group. Once the numbered in appropriately reduced, that group is reclassified into the nearest possible
group size.
Example: A Platoon (16 units) of Dersite Pawn Riflemen suffer heavy damage during a battle with another Prospitian
Platoon, yet are able to come out victorious thanks to some help from a Knight Inquisiclops. With the battle concluded,
the casualties are determined. The Rifleman Platoon started out with 64 total hit points and lost 53 hit points during the
battle. We determine that approximately 21% (rounded) of the Platoon survived combat. That means that 3 soldiers
survived combat, resulting in the Platoon shrinking down to a Fireteam of 3 Riflemen.
After-Battle Results
ONE SIDE FLED - The fleeing army gives up the battlefield and everything within 10 miles from it. If an allied fortification of some kind
exists within 10 miles, the fleeing army can enter it instead of leaving the area.
ONE SIDE SURRENDERED - PCs and party members in the surrendering army start 6 squares away from the remaining allied army.
If the PCs and other heroes run, the enemy army attacks them, but only 5 enemies per person will chase fleeing PCs for more than 5
rounds. The victors take an extended rest. The losers cannot take an Extended Rest and can only use a Second Wind if the victors allow
it. Good armies always allow it, evil armies never allow it, unaligned armies only allow it after two days of submissive behavior from the
losers. After the extended rest, the victors proceed with whatever the losers kept them from doing.
ONE SIDE WAS DESTROYED – PCs and party members in the destroyed army start 6 squares away from the enemy army. The
PCs and party members are all bloodied and have lost their Second Winds. The enemy army attacks them and attempts to knock them
unconscious, but only 5 enemies per person will chase fleeing PCs for more than 5 rounds. PCs can choose to surrender. Surrendered
PCs are disarmed and bound, but otherwise their treatment depends on their captor's motivation, preferences, and knowledge.
TRUCE - Both sides can take either a short rest or an extended rest, depending on what the commanders agree upon. PCs are free to
use the time as they wish, resting themselves or being creative.
Once the battle concludes, be sure to calculate casualties and any material losses your army incurred, so that you'll be
prepared information concerning your numerical strength should another battle break out.
Scratch Constructs
Sometimes plan don't go the way
you meant them to. Sometimes all
your efforts just weren't enough.
Sometimes death found its way to
you and your friends, stripping you
of options. And sometimes, your
Session is cursed by a inter-
dimensional demon with unlimited
power and every desire to destroy
you. And these instances, your
players might consider pressing the
ultimate Reset Button... A Scratch.
Scratches are relatively rare across Sessions. More often than not, a Session that Scratches has a greater destiny to fulfill,
or is under the influence of an outside power (usually malevolent).
What Happens
Once the Scratch is activated, the device will make a request to Skaia to alter the circumstances of the universe the
Session emerged from, thereby creating an alternate timeline inside the Alpha Timeline, the destined course of events in
Paradox Space. Many things will happen from this point on that significantly change the course of the game.
Skaia has only limited influence on the timeline itself; it really only has full control of the the Defense Portals that surround it
(the portals designed to catch meteors from the Veil and redirect them to the players' home planet). Using these portals,
Skaia will reconfigure the time periods during which each meteor will land on the home planet. In this way, Skaia can alter
the arrival times of the Paradox Clones produced by the players during the course of the game.
Changing when the Ecto-Babies arrive has a consequence to it: when the Scratch is performed, history is changed in such
a way that the initial Session's players switch places with their Dancestors (a Player's ancestor on one side of the Scratch,
who thanks to the influence of the Scratch, becomes the descendant on the other side), securing different conditions for the
continuation of the game. Effectively, the Players existing prior to the Scratch switch places with their parents, grandparents,
guardians, or distant ancestors, who then go on to do what the Players failed to achieve.
Thus, unless outside intervention or the ability to escape the collapsing Session is utilized, any Player caught within the
Incipisphere when the Scratch is completed will be erased from existence, their past selves taking the exchanged role.
Scratch Constructs
A single Scratch Construct is found on the Land of the Hero
of Time in every Session that bears a Time Player.
Naturally, in most games where a Time Player is lacking,
the Scratch Construct and the ability to Scratch the Session
is also missing.
In most instances, Scratch Constructs bear a musical
theme to them. The structures can resemble giant spinning
records, music boxes, keyboards, vibrating strings, and
other instruments. They tend to be found floating in orbit around the Land, resting on materials in keeping with the
environment of the Land in question. Constructs are quite large, often being over a hundred feet or more in diameter.
Typically, the Quills of Echidna are necessary to Scratch the surface of the Construct. However, Skaia is never exactly the
same across Sessions.
When you begin preparations for including a Scratch in your game, consider the current situation. Have the characters
found themselves stuck in a corner with no way out? Are things looking hopeless? Have you lost the direction you were
headed in with the story? Use these problems to your advantage. Begin by dropping clues and hints concerning a way
forward. Use these as breadcrumbs along the trail. Have your
players go on adventures or do research to discover
information about the Scratch. Then have them make
preparations to attempt the process. Do your players want their
characters to continue on after the Scratch, or do they want to
play their Dancestors? Factor these desires in and adjust the
information accordingly to make these things happen.
Exiles tend to be figures that the Heroes interact with in interesting and unexpected ways. For instance, your
local Prospitian mailwoman may inextricably be linked with your adventure when she becomes tasked with
finding your package in the hands of a deranged Dersite bureaucrat and deposing Prospitian royalty in order to
acquire the package and deliver it to you. In all likelihood, the Carapacian your players have getting cozy with
and using as a resource may through some unusual hi-jinks become an Exile and in turn affect the players in
incredibly complex ways.
Because of their subtle effect on the plot, you can decide ahead of time whether or not you want to include
Exiles in your game. Working such beings into your game has its pros and cons. For example, you could use
your Exiles to give hints to your players when they're stuck on a puzzle or unsure of how to proceed. However,
you'll now have to find ways of incorporating this new Carapacian into the story so that their intrusion into your
character's mind makes sense.
Lord English
The powerful demon known as Lord English is a vile being that
began life as a young and violent Cherub, and through a horrifyingly
complex Sburb session, become an immortal and doubly violent
death god. Universes marked by English are destined to suffer
through constant hardships, failures, and sabotage at the hands of
his many agents. Lord English exerts his tremendous influence on
vulnerable individuals throughout the sessions he destroys, causing
those bent towards evil to serve him (either unwittingly or with their
full awareness), and affecting circumstances so that those who
serve good will inadvertently set into motion destabilizing events.
His primary influence in a session is often through a puppet known
as Doc Scratch, who takes the role of a planet's First Guardian and
underhandedly guides those who partake in the game of Sburb
towards unleashing Lord English on themselves.
When directly affected by his power and will, those influenced by
Lord English exhibit similar effects. Servants of Lord English are
imbued with extreme unnatural power, represented by a glowing
rainbow aura. Oftentimes, the eyes will be replaced with false eyes
or will glow in rainbow colors, and one of the legs will be torn off and
replaced with a prosthetic. The strength granted to them by Lord
English will allow for extreme abilities, such as access to clockwork
majykks, the ability to direct powerful bursts of energy, and an extreme lifespan. Unless the individual's will is powerful, their
personality is often entirely subsumed by the willpower of their new master.
Trickster Mode
Trickster Mode is an unusual (and arguably highly annoying)
effect generally caused by consumption of a Spiral Sucker
Juju, at unique and powerful magical object. Created by the
Cherubs and reflective of their culture and social views, the
Spiral Sucker causes other races to enter into a temporary
mode of hyperactivity, child-like behavior, and heightened
powers.
When making an Influence, first consider the source of the power affecting your characters. Is it from a powerful being or
deity? Is some kind of magical or technological effect at work? Knowing the source of the Influence can give players
motivation to do something about it, like destroy it or support it. What sort of affect does this Influence have on the player
and the environment? When the world or the person are affected, it becomes personal, sparking quests to change how
things are. Finally, consider the extent and reach of the Influence. Does it subtly affect actions, or does it try to assume
direct control of the plot? Either way, players are bound to notice and will want to act on these actions.
Consider making a Template or Concatenation Oath for your players to use when suffering from an Influence. Oaths
especially work well, allowing you to give a bundle of powerful Traits to a player at the expense of their self-control.
Lastly, be careful including Influences into your campaign. When performed right, sinister motives and actions can provide
significant suspense to a story. When performed poorly, however, an Influence can turn off players by railroading the story
or subverting player decisions. Be judicious and conservative in your use of Influences, especially when you are forcing
decisions on a player. In many cases, simply talking to the player and asking them to change their roleplaying and actions to
reflect the change will lead the story in the right direction while still leaving players their free will.
