Long requested, now available: the Tephra Playing Guide in PDF!

Tephra: the Steampunk RPG needs only a single book to be played: your Playing Guide. This 288-page book is gorgeous, with the award-winning Clockwork Roleplaying System and a ton of lore and art that makes Tephra a fan-favorite setting.

This book includes everything you need to play, from our rapid-fire character creation system to a full chapter on narrating and everything in-between. You're going to get our line-up of unique races, crazy characters options, and the most in-depth and complete crafting system you'll find anywhere. This book has everything you need for the most intoxicatingly exciting steampunk adventures you can dream up.

Inside, you'll get:
  • The complete Clockwork Adventuring System, which uses only a single D12 to play
  • Freeform character creation is surprisingly easy but has near infinite options
  • 5 New Races unlike anything you've played before
  • A complete and robust crafting system, letting you build and customize your own firearms, gases, explosives, automatons, jetpacks, and more
  • Chapter on Lore and Narrating will get you into the action quick

As an RPG enthusiast, the simple but not simplified clockwork system in Tepphra is genius. I don't know if it's original, but it feels like a bit of a load off from the dice heavy 5e. As a fledgling DM, the rules took awhile to grasp but the [...]

I was looking for a Steampunk game for a gaming group I was running a few months back. I wound up finding this game, tried out the rapid fire guide (which is a free slimmed down version to showcase its potential) and decided to buy the core book. Decid [...]

Tephra really needs a good review. It's so unusual that it needs a good look. I'm not going to do that here, but what I am going to do is give you my honest opinion of Tephra, and recommend it. When I say it's unusual, I mean that yes, it's Steampun [...]

I bought this because I like Steam Punk, and as a Deal of the Day, I had to take a look at it. I wanted to compare this to some of the other ones that I have come across. It's an interesting concept, although I'm not sure whether or not I'll be [...]

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.
