These are the decks of random effects that some characters make use of.

LARP Decks

Developed by Rowena and Dave P - the LARP Decks are digital versions of our originally paper randomised decks designed to reduce printing needs - these apps incorporate the default power tests in them.

A full guide is available here

If you would rather not use a phone then we will continue to have decks available to print and download - if trimmed using the guide lines these should for in most standard sized card sleeves (avoid japanese sized) - the exception are ruin cards which have never been issued in paper.

Ruin Decks (Playtesting)

Ruin remains in testing from E9 - it seemed to work there so we are continuing to test it at this event this will be in digital form both on ref tablets and, this time, with player access so that this is more easily self-reffed. The decks have been split into Minor and Major ruin (two separate card apps).

When to take Ruin You take ruin when a ref tells you to or when your Corruption cards state you should. Each level of Corruption provides you with a ‘trigger’, these triggers remain active even if you advance past that level of corruption, so if you do something that ticks all your active triggers you draw that many cards.

Normally you should draw from the Minor deck.

You should only draw from the Major deck, if you are Tempted by Corruption or a ref tells you to - you should not draw more than one Major card at a time so if you have an unresolved Major effect on you, and you need to make multiple draws, subsequent draws should be from the Minor deck.

Refs may choose to select a specific Ruin card for you at their discretion, if they deem that the punishment fits the crime.

Lore Sheets

Specialist Lore Primers

The following Lore Primers are OOC documents containing useful facts your character would know based on what Lore Specialisms they possess - we do not have these for every Specialism, we create and update these as needed.

These files are passworded, please request them from the usual contacts;



Books of Forbidden Lore

These are IC (i.e. non-reliable) documents on the three Lores forbidden to normal Imperial Citizens - these are not kept updated by the Game Team and represent historical documents written in the past - the Lore Primers are the only maintained lore documents;
