Adamant Entertainment is proud to present The Imperial Age, our new line of Victorian/Steampunk products, made for use with d20 Modern or Past.

We're kicking things off with an iconic 19th-century Advanced Class -- The Scientific Detective. The very embodiment of rational thought in the Imperial Age -- Unlike previous investigators that relied on testimony, superstition, the seriousness of the charge, and quick, convenient conclusions, the Scientific Detective relies on cold, hard facts and observation. What matters most to the Scientific Detective is the truth, no matter how improbable or inconvenient it may seem. Famous literary Scientific Detectives of the Imperial Age include Sergeant Cribb, Lord Darcy, William Monk, Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, and, of course, Sherlock Holmes.

The Imperial Age is a fully-supported line, in the tradition of our acclaimed Thrilling Tales line of pulp-genre products. Every month, Adamant Entertainment will release material for your Victorian-era d20 campaigns. Coming soon for The Imperial Age are the following products:

• Advanced Class - Monster Hunter: In the tradition of Lord Godalming and Abraham Van Helsing!
• Imperial Age Magick: A complete system for historical Victorian-age Hermetic magick.
• Imperial Age British India: The Jewel In The Crown.
• Imperial Age Engines: Steam-powered inventions!

Available at the ENWorld GameStore and RPGNow.

Hi Gareth,

Looks very cool! Quick question - will there be something like the Secret Squadron membership for the Imperial Age line (The Royal Academy of Explorers)?

Not yet. We're going to do what we did with THRILLING TALES back when it launched -- we're going to see if the demand is there for the first handful of products, and if so, we'll launch a subscription for the coming year.

Ok, good to know because my initial reaction was to wait for the sub. This comes so freakin' handy right now, you have no idea. My wife has been hankering to play Victorian Age Vampire, so anything that feeds into that is just sweet.

Hopefully it will get enough love for a sub. Could you tell a little more of what we can expect?

Imperial Age

As the line editor for the Imperial Age, I can tell you that the manuscripts are finished for the following (all of these are listed on the Adamant website as well):

Advanced Class: Monster Hunter
Imperial Age Magick
Imperial Age Engines
British India

I'm also currently working on a London Guidebook.

Since I know that this will sell it for Daniel (and maybe a few others): I wrote Imperial Age Magick. It contains several magick systems that emphasize the flavor of the era's source material while retaining the use of the standard d20 magic spells.

Yep, that pretty much did it.

Any chance we'll eventually see these as Mutants and Mastermind's Superlink products like where the Thrilling Tales products are going?

Superlink Imperial Age

If there's enough interest in a Superlink version of the Imperial Age then there's a good chance you'll see one.

Also, "where the Thrilling Tales products are going" is inaccurate, as present and future TT projects are still based on the d20 Modern SRD.
