The Magitech Chronicles RPG

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The gods are dead, but they are not gone. Their bodies remain, brimming with divine power in forgotten nebulas or darkened corners of the void. Most who seek to steal this power find death, but the few who succeed become gods themselves.

Imagine a galaxy torn apart by a war between titanic gods. Starships battle dragons, all clawing their way toward the precious magic that lies within the bodies of dead gods...Catalysts. You're an adventurer seeking them out to increase your own magic.

Ever wanted to play a Mage Killer, or a Spellsniper? How about a Relic Hunter, or an Eradicator? Wondered if an Elder Void Wyrm can survive a nuke salvo? Want to steal magic from eldritch gods, and watch your armor and weapons grow stronger as they drink the same magic?

You're in the right place!

Your purchase includes the complete rules, two full adventures (in the main book), and a fully editable PDF character sheet.

The Magitech Chronicles RPG is based on the Amazon best-selling novels, which are even better on Audible. We currently have 10 books in print with more on the way! Join us, Outrider.

It would be nice to have the novels in epub on drivethrufiction, to supplement this system. Amazon limits the ebook purchases by country and applies heavy DRM.

In the rule book there is a reference to covenant of Voria in the first life miracle. We cannot find the covenant, is that written up somewhere?

I was looking over the Mage Killer path and noticed they start with a MKVII Ternus Assault Rifle. This is the only instance of this item showing up within the book. Where could one find stats for this item/will this be added to the book in the form of errata? Thanks!

We added that, and a slew of new item creation rules up through Mk 9 to the World Anvil site. Note that we do have a link specifically for errata, and I believe it is listed =)

I just bought the pdf and I'm curious regarding the special edition. After flipping through this pdf, I noticed a huge lack of artwork... Does the special edition have artwork that isn't in the standard pdf? I'm kinda unhappy that I bought this version if all the artwork is in the special edition.

Hi, Trenton. Sorry for the confusion. The special edition contains all of the artwork from the book in digital form, but does not contain additional artwork. We kickstarted this RPG during a pandemic, and spent every dime of it on artwork and formatting. I'd have loved to have had even more, but we covered every base we thought critical.

If you're unhappy I completely understand. I'm happy to offer a refund here or via PayPal.

Please feel free to request a refund if you'd like. We distribute the sheets, but can't know what you're opening them with. Here's the link to the direct character sheet download in case you didn't get it for any reason. It should be as simple as opening it in any PDF reader: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/mk2f79eq2s

The character sheet is advertised as editable. I should be able to open it in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and fill out the character sheet fields. Those fields are not set up, and so the character sheet is uneditable and can only be printed out to fill in by hand. I do not want a refund, but I think it would be a good idea to note that the character sheet is in fact uneditable in a pdf reader/editor.

Hi, Tara. I want to make sure I understand. I have dozens of characters created using this sheet. I'm happy to provide screenshots of edited characters if you wish. Which character sheet are you attempting to edit? Where did you obtain it?

If you are using the link above I'm deeply confused, as many players have downloaded and successfully used the sheet to create and print characters. I'm going to be real...not all the fields line up perfectly, but they are all there.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but am just left confused. =/

I don't believe so, but that's handled through DriveThruRPG and they might be able to accommodate that kind of request if they can see the PDF on your account already.

I see, I have seen a few publishers off that option and was curious to know if you'd be able to accommodate it. I am interested in purchasing this product as a PDF first but would feel as if I am losing out if I "upgrade" to a PoD+PDF later down the line.

Would love to see you explore this option in the future!

That's already in the main book. We missed the goal, but because we used backerkit we were able to take pledges after the fact and still hit the milestone. It's the First Contact adventure listed in the ToC =)

In the character creation videos by Chris Fox he says, that the race of Ifret will be available in the final release of the book. I just bought the pdf + print and started reading the pdf. Under character creation ifrets are NOT listed as a playble race?? Is this not the final version of the book? In the descritption it says "Your purchase includes the complete rules, two full adventures (in the main book), and a fully editable PDF character sheet." Why are the ifret not in the pdf? Will the be in the print?

You purchased the final version of the book. Ifrit were pushed along with the other elemental races to the player's guide. I apologize for the confusion, but the video was recorded long before the book was complete, and we didn't know what would be possible in the kickstarter.

All primal races begin play with an extra Catalyzation of their type, so Ifrit get a free fire Catalyzation which they usually spend on magic. However, they cannot gain their opposite, so an Ifrit will never get water. Ifrit gain +1 strength, as strength is the attribute linked to fire.

The official write up will be on our World Anvil page in January, and the Player's Guide will contain the write up and artwork. I wish we could have gotten it into the main book =/

I cannot say with 100% certainty that there are no spoilers, but I tried to keep a lot of that content for the Player's Guide. If you want to be safe avoid reading the GM's guide to the sector and I think you should be good =)

We're running the Player's Guide Kickstarter on January 30th. So excited! We've been hashing out the contents in the Facebook group. Today we're working on Paths, and cooked up the Sorcerer archetype as well.

I've been approached by a game studio, but they wanted to make a mobile game and I'm more interested in something like Pillars of Eternity. I think I'd prefer an animated series over a movie, but both could happen in the next year or two =)

We've continued to produce digital content, but the world isn't the same place as when we kicked off the game. Printing costs have skyrocketed, and we received an email saying the vibrancy of the printing would be lower going forward based on the supplier they'd have to use.

Until supply chain issues sort out it isn't really feasible to invest in a Kickstarter, so we're twiddling our thumbs and cranking out more rules while we watch closely =/

There is a link on the main Magitech Chronicles page, but clearly it's hard to find. That's definitely on us, and I appreciate the feedback. I'll get with our web designer and see if we can get a more prominent link.

Digital content has all the same production costs, but doesn't allow us to sell the physical copies that would actually make the book profitable. That will change eventually, and when it does we have a pile of artwork, and a bunch of new content!

Would it be possible to have a preview that's much than just the character sheet? Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice and stylish character sheet, but on it's own it doesn't do much to sell me on the game itself.

I had a look at the last update for the KS, dated 23/9, and apparently there were some issues with the print proof which have now been corrected. The proofs for the various editions appear to be good according to the comments, and Chris believes they may begin shipping as soon as tomorrow (Monday 12/10).

I think it is reasonable to assume that once all of the KS pledges are fulfilled the various POD versions will be released to general purchase here, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting a physical copy, it will likely be just a matter of waiting a while longer.

Eventually, but not in the short term. We're still learning the ropes, and until the Pandemic dies down supply problems abound from our initial research.

Is there much setting information here? I was told that it was mostly mechanics with very little in the way of a defined "world" (or universe). Would I have to mine the novels for setting information? Hopefully not as the novels are heavily constrained to the perspectives of the characters.

Good question! There’s quite a bit of setting information. From an overview of the sector”s major powers, to common catalysts, to rules to generating your own. We’ve also included several short stories in the text itself for flavor.

I’ve played everything from Rifts to Shadowrun to D&D to Champions, and I’ll stand our main book setting info up against theirs. There’s obviously the limitation that we haven’t released full setting books, which are coming, but there is enough to get a game rolling anywhere in the sector =)

Pop over to World Anvil if you’re curious. The chapters in question are online. If there are more things you want to see the player”s guide is coming, as well as a Ternus/Gear book, and a magic / relic hunting book.

Each character gets two actions, and how they can spend them is determined by their path and archetype. Actions are generic, but spells can be learned on the fly and customized to the character. There's a fair amount of gear with some pretty decent artwork, but it being a main book there's room for a lot more. We have a decent number of starships, cyberware, weapons, and magic items =)

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.
