Before classic fantasy, there was science fantasy: a genre that borrowed freely from mythology and science fiction, creating strange worlds for heroes as comfortable with a ray gun as a sword or whispered spell. After laying the foundations of modern fantasy, science fantasy incorporated both ancient legends and modern fears, for as we became capable of destroying our own world, novels incorporated post-apocalyptic elements, dreaming of a lost age of mighty crafts and powers. Now, experience this strange yet traditional fantasy style in Fantasy AGE with Fantasy AGE: Technofantasy.
Fantasy AGE Technofantasy fuses the science fantasy and post-apocalyptic genres with traditional fantasy to create a new yet uncannily familiar campaign resource where, after the collapse of a mighty technological civilization, magic and futuristic technology provide new tools and powers for characters, and inspire adventures where science, sorcery, and raw wonder draw heroes across fallen lands.
Sift through the ashes of the Fall and discover the following.
- Ancestries changed by the Fall and the presence of technology, such as plant-growing Greensmith dwarves, and ancestries revised and expanded for Fantasy AGE Second Edition: the quasi-reptilian saurians, and the oreans, living machines.
- New talents and specializations, including Alchemical Brewing and Salvage to make the most of scarce resources, the Cybersoldier and Mutant specializations who embody a blasted world where science and sorcery stand together, and more.
- Cybernetics, blasters, robots, powered melee weapons, and other high tech gear tailored for Fantasy AGE
- Technology stunts and tinkering that allow heroes to alter their personal tech—and the Digital and Machine Arcana, revised and expanded for Fantasy AGE, to bind technology to magic.
- High-tech vehicles and rules to operate them, from the horse-like cybersteed to flying skimmers.
- New adversaries such as guardbots and warbots, as well as the products of strange ruins, wild science, and forbidden experiments.
- A breakdown of the inspirations and classic motifs of technofantasy, synthesized from multiple genres.
We secretly previewed Fantasy AGE Technofantasy earlier this year by presenting the Icon, one of the new specializations from the book. Check it out! The Icon highlights one of the influences that helped bring Technofantasy to life: Gen-X cartoons!
