Modiphius Entertainment has today launched the pre-order for a new setting guide, Broken Steppes, for its hopepunk sci-fi TTRPG, Dreams and Machines.
Providing tools for both gamemasters and players, the new guide contains a detailed overview of the Surienta Simio region of the Broken Steppes, including plenty of unique and exciting locations that could feature in adventures – meet the Flat Top-riding Spears of Highguard, discover the unique community living inside a hive of deadly Kornowasps, and uncover the fiery secrets of the abandoned city of Trisagasimio.
For players, there are new GLIFs, talents, and equipment, as well as expanded rules for mounts and vehicles. The book also provides players with all the information they need to create their own Conduit player character. More commonly known amongst surface-dwellers as ‘Thralls’, Conduits have lived at odds with many of Evera Prime’s societies for years. Now, however, things are changing, and with a selection of Conduit-specific origins, archetypes, and equipment, players can create their own Conduit characters and join in the worship of the Generator.
Dreams and Machines is Modiphius’ own RPG setting where people come together to rebuild their world following a catastrophic war. Set in Evera Prime, players venture into a world of mystery and adventure, a world where slumbering mechs dot the landscape and people build their lives anew in the wreckage of paradise.
Releasing in October, the 128-page full-colour, hardcover Broken Steppes Setting Guide features:
- A complete overview of the Surienta Simio region of the Broken Steppes, including detailed location guides so you can seamlessly slot these places into your ongoing Dreams and Machines adventures.
- Brand-new character creation options so players can create their own unique Conduit characters, utilizing a selection of Conduit-specific talents and Advanced Archetypes to help you immerse them in their way of life.
- Conduit-themed locations to provide suitable backgrounds for new characters, or settings for adventures beyond the Broken Steppes.
- All-new rules and guidance for player-run settlements, enabling players to create their own bespoke communities filled with NPCs, allies, and services, and grow them into warm villages that act as hubs for downtime and roleplay opportunities.
- New GLIFs, talents, and equipment, including Conduit-specific gear and rules for harnessing some of the creatures of Evera Prime as ground mounts.
