Serenissima Obscura is one half setting guide for fantasy gaming in a dark version of renaissance Venice and the other half a modular adventure filled with conspiracies and terror.
Large parts of Serenissima Obscura are system-agnostic. We include stats and rules for 5e as well as our own shorthand universal stats for you to easily adapt characters and monsters to your preferred game system. We furthermore offer the extra „Ars Magica Guide for the Magical Renaissance“ to make our setting compatible with Mythic Europe.
