Book of Sand

Suggested Price $2.00

Succession is a lightweight, narratively focused fantasy roleplaying game for creating and exploring a dark, dangerous world as your adventurers embark on their quests.  Setup and character creation is quick and straightforward, suitable for one-shot games, pickup games, and for play when your usual game is on hiatus.

Book of Sand is a supplement to expand on the stories Succession can tell: new rules, new gods, an entirely new way to use the existing rules, and most importantly, rules support and guidance for six new genres.  Mythic monsters, fairytales, space opera, cyberpunk, post-apocalypse, and modern horror all feature guidance and adaptation to the standard rules, to allow your group to tell such stories as easily as with the original rules.

Book of Sand is thirty-two pages (including illustrated cover), comprised of an even mixture of rules text and guidance, and five oracle sheets (lists of strange events, mysterious items, locations, and more) to use during play.  It requires the rules from Succession for normal play.

Book of Sand both expands the original game, and modifies it for new kinds of stories it could not support.  For Succession itself, your group can now include any of the three new gods, with guidance on how to design your own.  Your adventurers can use new rules that let your group hone and refine the tone and themes of your game to suit your exact wishes.  You can even incorporate adjustments from other genres, seeing how those adjustments work and why, within their context.

In the new genres offered, you can play as a vengeful Spider Queen, seeking to slay, enslave, or simply consume arrogant mortal warriors who would threaten your web.  Be a hopeful street-urchin, tasked with outwitting the hidden Fair Folk, to earn a priceless blessing and to keep your home safe.  Conquer and backstab among the stars, or show off your flashy chrome augments in the rainy streets.  Fight to the death over a crate of pickled beets in a burning wasteland, and find something more worth fighting for; or try to escape with your life as an unknown force chews your mundane workaday world apart.

These new gods, rules, and genres all assume familiarity with the core game, ideally enough that your group genuinely wants something new.  However, so long as your group understands the basic rules and approach of Succession, and perhaps copies a page containing condensed rules, you should not need to refer to the core rulebook often, if at all.

New worlds await you, there for the taking - if you are ready.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
