WELCOME TO ENTROMANCY!
Entromancy is a cyberpunk fantasy tabletop action roleplaying game set in San Francisco in
the late 21st century. In this game, you and a group of friends take the roles of human and
auric characters, tackle challenging missions described by a game master, and endeavor to
progress your skill sets to take on tougher, more rewarding adventures.

It’s the late 21st century, and magic coexists with technology, making life for most people
simultaneously easier and more complicated. Decades of population explosion have provided
human cities with no choice but to build upward, while continued xenophobia against aurics
by the humans that surround them has forced their communities underground. The world
of Entromancy is not quite a dystopia, as neither its inhabitants nor its three factions are
willing to face their war-torn pasts or politically charged futures lying down. Yet, if history
is any indication, tensions between humans, underraces, and the three factions of NIGHT,
Aurichome, and the Unaligned will threaten to plunge entire nations into all-out war, with
limitless forms of cybertech and unprecedented magic power at their disposal.
Whether you’re a gunslinging Revolutionary taking out contracts for Aurichome or a magic-
savvy Technomancer fighting for freedom with the Unaligned, you have the power to change
the face of the world with your actions. The more you know about its history, its inhabitants,
and its factions, the better you’ll be prepared for the missions to come.

advantage on Personality checks made against the target,

surface thoughts of the creature, such as what is most
on its mind at that moment, and then gain insight into
something that looms large in its mind – what it worries
over, loves, or hates. A successful Will check against your

Most of the world was not ready for the implications of ceridium’s connection to genetic
mutation. It meant that the long-eared, tusked, horned, or pig-snouted aurics that had begun
to be born were just as human as the humans who birthed them. And because of the vast
population burst at the turn of the twenty-first century, there was no place to put them,
save underground, where most of the poorer human communities had moved. The “underrace”
moniker was created, and it stuck, mostly because of the implied double meaning of inferiority.

U S ING T HE S RD
If you’re familiar with the SYSTEM REFERENCE DOCUMENT (SRD),

you’ve probably noticed that there are a lot of similarities,
and as many differences, between Entromancy and other
available FIFTH EDITION (5E) content. The Entromancy
handbook represents a complete game that can be played
without any other 5E content, but if you like something
that’s 5E compatible, feel free to bring it into your game!
Of course, you’ll find that most, if not all, 5E compat-

ible content will take a little configuration to fit into
your Entromancy campaign. Monsters and NPCs in
Entromancy, for example, have four ability bonuses rather
than the six standard ability scores. In this case, we’d
recommend thinking about the power and constitution
of your desired monster or NPC and representing them
in Strength, and doing the same for their intelligence
and wisdom and representing that in Will. Additionally,
you can use the “Advanced Character Creation” section
in “Chapter 2: Characters” to get more granular about
creating ability bonuses for your monsters and NPCs.
If you’re thinking about power levels for 5E content, we’d

recommend looking at levels 2-4 for character class spells
and talents and 5-7 for destiny spells and talents. For
equipment, take a look at uncommon items to inspire your
creation of Standard Gear and Cybernetics, rare items
for Advanced Gear and Standard Faction Gear, and very
rare and legendary items for Advanced Cybernetics and
Advanced Faction Gear. For monsters, check out CR 0-2 for
Light Threat monsters, CR 3-5 for Medium Threat monsters,
CR 6-7 for High Threat monsters, and CR 8+ for Deadly
Threat monsters.
Of course, some additional configuration will still apply

as you’ll want to consider the ceridium cost of spells, the
accurate transposition of talent-like abilities with our
streamlined combat rules that don’t require things like
free actions, and the presence of new or updated systems
in Entromancy like momentum, factions, equipment, and
cybernetics. And remember, none of this is required! You
can play Entromancy without ever cracking open the SRD,
but if there’s something there that you like, make it work
for your game!

The Presidio

Heist
Welcome to the first official Entromancy mission, The Presidio Heist! This mission is meant to walk you, as the GM, and your players, through
an adventure with brand new characters, while also introducing some of the themes and mechanics in the Entromancy world.
Throughout the course of this chapter, you’ll encounter GM tips in italics that may be helpful when you’re running the mission. You’ll also
find text blurbs in gray boxes which are meant to be read out loud to all of the players.
Additionally, we recommend that you read through the entire mission before you attempt to run it for the first time. You’ll find that there are
quite a few opportunities to encourage your players to co-create the world together with you while learning the ropes. Encourage them to use
their skills to their advantage - whether it be Stealthing past guards, using Athletics to achieve acts of derring-do, employing Knowledge to
learn more about the world, Hacking their way through the facility, or being Dramatic to attempt to impersonate others.
If you’re GMing for the first time or are already a pro, be sure to check out “Chapter 8: GMing Entromancy” for more tools and advice as you
prepare to run The Presidio Heist.
Above all, have fun!
