This is the core book for the second edition of our bestselling Kaigaku RPG. Based on Stars Without Number Revised, by Kevin Crawford, it brings a more modern rules set to the game, while still respecting what's come before. This game is completely compatible with SWN, as well as Worlds Without Number and Cities Without Number.

Visit the perilous and beautiful land of Kaigaku as a member of the samurai class, or for the first time as someone born into the less-fortunate castes. Will you play as an honorable samurai? An empowered ascetic who channels ki through gemstones? A devious courtier? Or perhaps a shadowy ninja?

Building on Stars Without Numbers' original system, you can now create characters using hybrid classes. We've expanded the list of Foci, called Techniques in this game, with three dozen new specialties. Each of the new Techniques is also perfectly compatible with Stars Without Numbers Revised, too. There are several new Ascetic Disciplines, which merge well with SWN's Psychic class.

If playing as a human isn't your style, the core book offers support for non-human species, including the foxlike kitsune, shapeshifting tanuki and many others.

There are cultural notes in multiple sections to help you immerse yourself in this world that's based on Japanese lore and history. It's explicitly set in an alternate world to give you more freedom with your storytelling. We believe that you should be able to make Kaigaku your own saga, so we've painted the canon of this world in very broad strokes.

Please note that we're going to be updating this game very soon with some additional notes on more peaceful roleplaying and family-oriented play.

With the Knights of Gwyncarreg RPG you and your group get to relive the glorious past that never was- but should have been! Inspired by the pulp comic strip adventures of Arthurian heroes, KoG features rules that are both easy to learn and accessible to new players, but sophisticated enough for groups and GMs looking for mechanical depth.

KoG is a “spiritual clone” of previous storytelling games from the early days of RPGs. It bears tribute to some of the greatest modern Arthurian media. If you’ve played the most prominent of these older games, you already know how to play Knights of Gwyncarreg!

This book contains:

• A two-page rules summary
• Character creation with 7 paths, from serf to knight, scholar to raider, and more
• A fast and intuitive task resolution and conflict system
• The kingdom of Gwyncarreg, an Arthurian setting
• Sample NPCs
• The Ruins of Caer Tan introductory adventure
• Guidance for new GMs and ideas for integrating the adventure into an ongoing campaign
• Gorgeous illustrations from famed artist/game designer HODAG

Knights of Gwyncarreg is suitable for gamers of all ages. Enjoy it on family game night, or at your weekly “beer and pretzels” sessions.

There’s a lot more content for KoG coming, and the more support we receive, the more you get going forward. As part of our “loyalty” program, every customer who purchases the core book gets a discount on all Knights of Gwyncarreg modules that we release afterwards. The sooner you start, the more you save!

When spellusers duel with magic, it can be dangerous, not only for the participants but for anyone, and anything, else in the area. This supplement has 100 things that spectators could see during a magical confrontation. Some may be the intended effects of spells; others may be the results of different magics interacting. They range from the odd to the potentially dangerous.

This PDF supports Adobe layers and the page backgrounds and images can be disabled to make printing easier.

Here are some sample results:

• The senses of those nearby become confused, with smells having sound, colours having taste and sounds having smell.
• The surface and upper layers of any stone and soil is vitrified.
• The weight of objects increases and creatures increases and they are dragged towards the ground.
• The world seems to spin around any observer.
• Things are blasted outwards in an invisible and silent explosion.
• Tiny black spheres materialise and a strong force starts dragging things towards them.

One page is the front cover, one the front matter and one is ads.
