Serenissima Obscura

Coming in 2025!
Serenissima Obscura is an extensive setting guide and horror scenario for Venice in 1507.

Below the surface of this most serene of all cities, an old evil has dreamed up a nightmare that seeps into the mundane. The adventurers will face conspiracies, mystical convergences and a realm of unspeakable terrors that threaten to consume Venice and life as we know it.

Serenissima Obscura offers:
▶︎ a 150-page setting guide with information about the historical and mystical background of our world,
▶︎ a sandbox adventure consisting of approximately 30 modules in real Venice as well as in its shadow version,
▶︎ dozens of additional story hooks in the setting guide,
▶︎ setlets to play with consistent groups. 
▶︎ new character classes, like e.g. The Merchant,
▶︎ new species, like e.g. The Children of the Lagoon, 
▶︎ new mechanics for social advancement and the setup of headquarters, 
▶︎ an extra PDF player guide with mechanics, classes and species from The Straight Way Lost, 
▶︎ illustrations by the artists Anton Vitus (Vaesen), Mark Smylie (Artesia), Simone Tammetta and Margaux Carpio.
▶︎ layout by Thorsten Janes,
