Low Tech Weapons is a hardware add-on for the Cepheus Engine roleplaying game. Low Tech Weapons provides you with a huge number of new melee weapons that can be added without fuss directly into your Cepheus Engine or 2D6-based SF RPG. Most are based on the deadly weapons invented and used throughout the Ancient and Medieval periods. On Low Tech planets, TL 1-3, these weapons may have alternative names. They will provide more variety than the current spread of spear, dagger, cutlass, sword.
Catapults, ballista and trebuchet are also included! Included are a small number of Rules Options that referees may find add a little more verisimilitude to melee combats in Cepheus Engine. The Tech Levels covered (1-3) have the following approximate Terrestrial equivalencies: TL 0 Stone Age, TL 1 Ancient/Medieval, TL 2 Renaissance/Early Modern (1300 – 1700 AD), TL 3 Industrial Revolution (1700-1860). |

For anyone wanting to use Cepheus Engine as a rules-set for a fantasy setting, Fast Magic offers a complete, improvisational magic system.There are no spell lists in Fast Magic and this is done firstly to keep the rules flexible and easily adaptable to a referee’s setting, and secondly to mirror the rules-light approach of Cepheus Engine itself. A player character does not have to wait passively for an opportunity to use a spell on his spell list. Instead he can adapt his magic to each situation, playing a much more active role in the game. We provide very firm, well explained guidelines that ensure both referee and player understand the mage’s capabilities and limitations. Fast magic is easy to learn and, during a game session, quick and easy to cast. This book includes a description of four new Cepheus Engine skills: Magic, Alchemy, Calligraphy and Artifice. A new magic-using career, Mage, is also included and may be used as presented or as a template for the referee’s own magical careers 22 pages, PDF via DriveThruRPG REVIEWS

Dillard R. Bottom line up front: I wanted something to go along with blackpowder fantasy for Cepheus Engine. This is a perfect fit. Good history of the blackpowder firearm and how it informs the use of such weapons. The rules are light and easy to implement. Equipment includes arquebuses to percussion cap revolvers, petards, and cannons. Short, sweet, to the point. Can't beat the price or the product. Fully recommend. |
