This alternate history, genre-blending setting presents a fantastic take on World War One - combining the gritty battlefields of the Great War with magical fantasy


  • Sorcerers of the German Imperial Army - fueled by the magic of red dragons - bulldoze Allied defenses and push deep into France.
  • Heroic griffin riders of the French Air Service fight to free their nation from the daily terror of zeppelin bombing raids
  • British golem squads fight alongside tanks to turn the tide of battle against the Central Powers
  • In the darkest days of the war, the Kaiser makes a Faustian bargain that unleashes an invasion of legions of creatures from Faerie onto the European continent

Soldiers and Spellfighters20 explores the Great War in the alternate reality where magic has been introduced in the early 20th centure. It uses Charles Rice's popular Modern20 rulesand has art by Rick Hershey of Empty Room Studios.

The first supplement for Soldiers and Spellfighters20 is out.

 

Knights of the Sky makes a GM's job easier by providing a resource with information (and, in some cases, stats) for aces and airborne wizards from the Allied (aka Entente) Powers in the air battles in the Great War and Dragon War conflicts in the Soldiers and Spellfighters universe.

 

Some of the aces include:

 

Charles Nungesser - Frenchmen who earned the nickname 'the knight of death'



Billy Bishop - Canadian griffin rider who was famous for close quarters combat and had the highest victory count of any ace in the British Empire



Michael Simms (aka the Fighting Father) - Canadian priest whose spellcasting ability led to him being recruited into Squadron 10 (The Black Watch) of the Royal Naval Air Service.



Aleksandr Kazakov - the most successful Russian fighter pilot and aerial combat sorcerer during the Great War and the Dragon War. He was also one of the first officers to graduate rom the Imperial Sorcery College at Tunguska.


 

In a pinch, these characters could serve as PCs for a quick game.

 

We have also included some new magical items, stats and descriptions for anti-aircraft batteries as well as new air vehicles including bombers (such as the world's first heavy bomber - the Russian Ilya Muromets), fighters (such as the Sopwitch Triplane) and observation balloons.
