The Black Iron - A 5th edition Grimdark Setting

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

A World Broken Beyond Repair

When the Elves left, they took everything, leaving behind only ashes and death. In the aftermath of their apocalypse, dark things fought their way into the light. The Blood Lords staked their claim on the remnants of the world, slaughtering anyone who opposed them. Mankind is relegated to subsistence, clinging on in a few underground bastions, and in the Last City, protected by sorcerers driven mad by the magic they wield. Somehow, you must find a means of surviving in the ruins of a magical desolation, where the earth itself is trying to kill you, and the only people you can trust died long ago. Will you strive to withstand the creeping madness of the beyond for a little longer? Try to restore some light in a world consumed by darkness? Or do you embrace the chaos, taking what you can from those too weak to defend it?

Dark cults proliferate in the streets. Dread creatures drag themselves ever onwards in search of new flesh. The world freezes, and shrinks, and shudders as it waits to end.

What a time to be alive…

The Black Iron is a Grimdark, fantasy roleplaying game, set in a shattered world on the brink of utter annihilation. It contains everything you need to get started creating and playing characters venturing out to try and scratch a living in the wilderness left behind, and maybe, just maybe, beginning to remake the world.

Inside you will find:

  • A Complete Background to the World.

  • New Race – Chimeer a melding of Human and Animal.

  • New Classes – 4 New Classes and over a dozen new Sub-Classes.

  • Guilds and Cults which Characters can join.

  • New ways to look at Weapons and Armour, with quality affecting their use.

  • Fear and Corruption rules.

  • A Bestiary with new monsters.

  • A short adventure to get you started.

The Black Iron is a Grimdark setting for the Worlds Oldest Roleplaying Game, it is not heroic and magic is hard to learn and dangerous to use. 

This is the most up to date version of the game. Those that bought the previous versions will already have this version in their library

Thanks. The Pre-fall map is great for PCs but it would be super helpful to have a post fall map to help the GM.

How well would this setting work with the Delve RPG?

You would need to do a bit of tweaking to get it to work, but changing all modifiers to 10s (so instead of +1 its +10) would help

Rather than spreads, any chance you could upload the PDF as single pages? Thanks.

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.
