Delve deeper into the strange world of Spire with this full-length sourcebook. Winner of the Silver ENnie award for Best Art, 2020.

Strata is a full-length sourcebook for the Spire roleplaying game.

Written by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor, and with ten scenarios from a wide variety of other authors, Strata gives more details on the best and worst that the city of Spire has to offer.

Includes:

  • Two new classes: the purple-prose black-magic pulp fiction occultist Inksmith and the multifaceted and fractured Shadow Agent
  • Extra advances for any class: such as the flower-skinned Druid of the Living Spire, the muckraking Gazetteer, the sigil-scrawling Children of the Runestack and the language-hunting Lexicutioners
  • Ten scenarios (detailed below), allowing you to start a campaign of Spire easier than ever
  • More details on the richest and poorest parts of Spire: the shadowed and fecund Garden District, the decrepit grandeur of Ivory Row, the nightmare industrial bowels of the works, the alien luxury of Amaranth, and more
  • Beautiful full-page, full-colour artwork from Adrian Stone throughout

The scenarios in Strata are:

DARK HARVEST by Chris Farnell

After a mission goes wrong, the Ministry bundles the players off to the deep farms of La Grotte du Corde – but, of course, nothing is what it seems in this idyllic pastoral village.
