Addendum: Shape Shifting (Diceless) PDF

Rite Publishing (based on 1 rating)

Change yourself and you change the world.

Learn what forms to be wary of lest you end up an unthinking rock, locked into that form forever. Discover which shape's gifts are intrinsic to a Gossamer world, and which can work on the Grand Stair and beyond another Door! Retain your own sense of self, or risk becoming the very mask you wear via the power of Shape Shifting.

Shape Shifting is a new Lesser Power which confers the gifts of adaptability, change, and of course switching from one form to another. Many worlds feature Shape Shifters be they gods, monsters, or whole races unto themselves. Will you be one of them?

Four tiers of this power are described here:

• Lesser Shape Shifting: Take on a single alternate form and with practice a hybrid of that form.
• Shape Shifting: Assume a variety of bodily types and transformational abilities, hindered by some unique drawbacks.
• Advanced Shape Shifting: Gain amazing malleable abilities, a veritable protean form able to assume an incredible variety of shapes, specific beings, and even more unique aspects, shrugging off most of the normal drawbacks of Shape Shifting.
• Exalted Shape Shifting: A level of the power that is extraordinarily rare, and may be reserved for beings akin to gods.

Addendum: Shape Shifting can be used in any game based on Erick Wujcik's Diceless Role-Playing, existing alongside powers such as Sorcery and making great use of the Endurance Attribute. Allowing you to seamlessly enhance your new or existing game with a wondrous ability.

Gossamer Worlds Compendium (Diceless) PDF

Rite Publishing The Grand Stair stretches behind the scenes of the multiverse, the Doors upon its unfathomably vast span leading the way to Gossamer worlds of limitless variety and infinite possibility. Everything imaginable is out there to explore, if only one can find it.

In his wild adventures across the multiverse, the wily and notorious Gossamer Lord Yaeger Zane has seen it all: faerie realms, nightmare realms, post-apocalyptic wastelands, vast intergalactic empires, flooded planets, hollow planets, city planets, junkyard planets, cloud worlds, magic worlds, dragon worlds, two-dimensional worlds, worlds where poetry is power, and at least one island where you can totally ride an aether-controlled T-rex with steam-powered battle-arms. Yaeger's been there and done that, and his assembled travelogues full of lush description and sly advice are an indispensable resource for all who wish to roam.

Gossamer Worlds Compendium brings together in a single volume TWENTY astonishingly unique and impossibly diverse Gossamer worlds, including the never-before-seen Gossamer Worlds: Fury. These are just a few of the infinite possibilities within Lords of Gossamer and Shadow by Jason Durall, powered by Erick Wujcik's Diceless Roleplaying.

Aethersaur Island is a gossamer world formed in the wake of a calamity of cosmic proportions – the catastrophic convergence of three realities into a single strange and savage land. Now, the prehistoric wilds holds patches of civilization carried over from an Edwardian-era Earth, alien obelisks attract gibbering troglodytes to the edges of the tar pools, and a triceratops-headed Umbra Master cackles maniacally from his erupting volcano lair. To survive, intrepid steampunk heroes must grapple with science past the edge of reality, using the mysterious power of the aether to harness the island's terrible lizards. Come meet the aethersaurs, and saddle up a steam-powered cyborg t-rex of your own!

In some worlds, two dimensions are more than enough in which to live.

INK is a vast and sprawling two-dimensional gossamer world populated with illustrated life – an entire reality filled with sentient scribbles, conscious cartoons, and proud portrait civilizations, all imported from across the multiverse by the mysterious Annunaki, like some sort of omni-galactic zoo for drawings. It is a place where you can stroll the pages of a comic book, sail the sepia-tone sea of an ancient map, and go on walkabout in a great white outback filled with stick figure hunters and predatory erasers. Forget everything you think you know about space, life, and existence... because some of reality just isn't drawn for you.

Nexopolis sits on an island in the middle of a vast ocean, far from the sight of any distant shores. Here the weather is always perfect, except when there is a hurricane. Here nearly everyone comes from somewhere else, except for Finnian who runs but does not rule Nexopolis. Here you will find a crossroads of worlds, except these Doors all require Keys. Here you find a Justicar, but not much justice, except for that dealt out by private security teams and the Vigilance Committee. Here you will find both sophisticated magic and high technology, except buying might cost you more than money. Here a few reckless fools will try to reclaim parts of the rest of the world, except the Dwimmerlaik destroyed this world and the rest of the world is not ready for them yet.

Ossuary Empire is an exotic, exciting realm of shifting sands and sprawling cities, pulling itself back from the brink of apocalypse. A great and terrible war has extinguished the last of the gods known as the dîv, and in the void of their absence a dangerous secret has been revealed: the bones of these fallen deities are now the key to magic and the deadliest of weapons. The fight for survival and supremacy is on as thieves filch these precious relics from crowded bazaars and hashashin strike from the rooftops, while out in the desert the prophets whisper that something new is coming... they can feel it in their bones.

There once was a gossamer realm,
With poetical force at the helm,
In delicate prose,
They spun weals and woes,
And nursed every ash, oak, and elm.

The waves and the wind and the hills,
Shift as pentameter spills,
These lyrical words,
Sing brightly as birds,
A manifestation of wills.

Sometimes it is madness, be sure,
Banality's bane is its cure,
When poetry's pouring,
Never tis boring,
Wide wonders drip wet with allure.

Ring of Fire is a ring-world that once provided living space for millions of species on a miraculous hoop encircling a shining star, until the day an evil force turned the sun into a weapon and doomed most of the world to the harsh glare of eternal high noon. Nowadays, a line of scorching sunlight encroaches mile by mile, and the only way to stay alive is to march westward across the frontier. The Walking West is an ever-trudging land of gunslingers and golems, preachers and pilgrims, steam-craft and survival.

The Grand Stair stretches behind the scenes of the multiverse, the Doors upon its unfathomably vast span leading the way to gossamer worlds of limitless variety and infinite possibility. In all such worlds, the ascendant order of the Eidolon and the destructive chaos of the Umbra clash and vie for supremacy, creating a storm often figurative, but in this case literal.

Stratospheria is a realm of contradictions, showcasing the terrible tension between the Umbra and the Eidolon as they carry on their ageless battle-by-proxy. Above a tempestuous gas giant covered in ravaging super-storms, floating cities of brilliant technology hover amongst the clouds. Aliens and humans zip about in lightning-fast airships, one step ahead of the storms, each other, and those damn sky pirates. Ancient secrets and elder forces lurk deep within the planet, making this landless land far from breezy.

Two alien races - the kappa and the oni - are stranded on Earth, and now use the remnants of humanity as pawns in their ongoing war.

Step in and hire the fastest ship you can, because the next Door is out there, somewhere far, far away.

Lords of Gossamer & Shadow (Diceless)

Rite Publishing (based on 2 ratings)

Our world is but one of untold many, a flux of chance caught in the struggle between form and cacophony. Always, these forces are at war, shaping the infinite worlds. The immortal, self-appointed sovereigns of battle move between planes of reality with impunity: they are creators, shapers, and destroyers of worlds.

In Lords of Gossamer & Shadow, you are caught up in this immense conflict. Possess unique and idiosyncratic magical artifacts, command legions drawn from the myriad of otherworlds, and wield incredible powers that alter the very substance of reality. Whether born into it or discovering it later, your character has inherited a legacy of unimaginable power...and with it great danger!

Lords of Gossamer & Shadow is an original sourcebook and role-playing game using Erick Wujcik's Diceless Role-Playing system (used in Amber Diceless Role-Playing). This is a standalone product with an original setting, though it is compatible with Amber Diceless Role-Playing.

Rite Publishing

This world is but one of untold many, a flux of chance caught between shadow and light. It is a world poised between great powers that shape and define all matter, one of many battlegrounds in an epic struggle between form and cacophony. This is the battle between the creators, shapers, and destroyers of worlds. Welcome to the Lords of Gossamer & Shadow!

Lords of Gossamer & Shadow is an original sourcebook and role-playing game using Erick Wujcik’s Amber Diceless Role-playing, licensed from Diceless by Design. It is a standalone product, but remains fully compatible with the existing rules system and can be readily used in new and existing campaigns.

ENnie award winning designer and Amber Diceless Role-Playing veteran Jason Durall brings you the talent and imagination you've seen in his work with Shadow Knight, The Game of Thrones RPG, and the Basic Roleplaying Game.

The manuscript is complete, written and edited. We've packed this book with great art from the talented Jason Rainville—whose fantastic work has recently appeared in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: NPC Codex by Paizo Publishing, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and works by Rite Publishing.

There's just one problem. When this project began, we projected only a 60-page book. Sixty pages to create the spiritual successor to Amber Diceless Role-Playing. To create an entirely new realm of intrigue and adventure. And then we turned the author loose on it.

What we got back was an additional 100 pages of pure awesome. One hundred and sixty plus pages of adventure.

We knew we had to make this book, no matter what it took, but our resources for Lords of Gossamer & Shadow were spent—and I think you'll agree, they were spent well. Rite Publishing could wait for months.

We could internally fund the remaining necessary artwork, but we don't want to wait. We don't think you want to, either. Artists get busy, new projects come up. We want to lock in Jason Rainville to create the remaining artwork. To keep the same artistic theme. That is the sole purpose of this project—to fund the few remaining pieces necessary to fill out the completed manuscript. With your support, our Kickstarter campaign hopes to gather the resources necessary to present an absolutely gorgeous, unified game that is a joy to play and behold.

With design by Jason Durall, cover art by Jason Rainville and editing by Perry Grosshans, we want to give you a second chance to be a part of a roleplaying legacy. To rescue the project from a purgatory of waiting.

Lords of Gossamer & Shadow: Gossamer Heroes (Diceless) PDF

Rite Publishing (based on 1 rating) Who will you be when you walk though the Door! 

Lords of Gossamer and Shadow: Gossamer Heroes draws upon the nine example characters found in the core rules, beautifully illustrted in full-color by some of the industry's most talented freelancers, and supplemented by information graciously provided by our original gold patrons. This product presents them as 100 point Pre-Generated Characters or NPCs suitable for every GM's individual campaign. Each is crafted for balance in respect to build points and powers and it includes a printer-friendly version.

Most powers are represented (Warden of the Stair, Eidolon and Umbra Mastery, Wrighting, Invocation, and Sorcery), and no one character possesses more than two powers. This was an intentional design choice. These characters are fully capable but specifically tailored for new players who need only familiarize themselves with a few major game concepts in order to start their exciting adventures on the Grand Stair.

We are very happy with how they turned out and hope that you are too!

We need no god because we have stood as gods.

For aeons, the Dwimmerlaik walked the Grand Stair. They ruled countless Gossamer worlds, and those that they did not they destroyed. Their name stirs fear and dread across the Grand Stair even today. They reigned unopposed for millennia until the rise of the Gossamer Lords, and a centuries long war finally ended with their entire race exiled into the void of Shadow.

But where did the Dwimmerlaik come from? From where did they get the power to walk upon the Grand Stair? What we know of them comes only from whispers and rumors…until now. The notes within this volume, found by a young Gossamer Lord as she reveals details of the Dwimmerlaik never before known: their origins, their powers, and their culture. But are these notes to be believed, or yet another trick from a race known for their lies and deceit?

One after the other, these individuals make their presence known, forming plans of their own devising — yet as one grows in power, another vanishes as suddenly as he appears.

"What are these living works of art of high geometry?"

The beings we call Annunaki—for we have no idea what they call themselves—are rarely encountered by the Lords of Gossamer & Shadow.

Little is known of their true natures, but within these writings we delve into the secrets of this enigmatic threat.

Are they transcendent beings? Do they exist outside of space and time? Are they the result of Typhonian craftsmanship?
