This is the players guide for Feast of the Immaculate Conception. 

It is a Zorro inspired swashbuckling world along the new Spanish Main of California; it is a gritty, steampunk, gold, weird west, in an unexplored and beautiful frontier. This Alt’ California is a Flintlock RPG campaign setting in an alt-history after 1812. In includes dozens of tables, hooks, and ideas for endless settlements, travel, and dungeons adventure.  

PDF, includes:

  • A Rules-Lite System
  • 18 Classes
  • 18 Professions
  • 72 Artifact Skills

Our story starts after the events of the Great Alteration of 1812, in the small yet booming Pueblo de Santa Barbara in Alta California. Populated by Californios tired of Spanish Rule, the newly established port is witnessing in influx of foreigners of all nationalities introducing new technology and innovations. Meanwhile the Chumash mission neophytes of Santa Inés, Santa Barbara, and La Purísima have begun revolts.

Since these events, the rules of our world no longer apply as we know them. Provided herein is a new world that has been altered and unchained from history. This is low fantasy fiction with supernatural forces at play. When the unexplainable is observed reaction will vary; true believers witness these as miracles, fanatics may declare blasphemy, scientist will provide logical explanations, and skeptics will not believe what they see or hear. Fact is often stranger than fiction. Much of the names, myths and events are drawn from history, rumor, or intentionally inaccurate to create an alternate fantasy.

The standalone FEAST rules presented should be familiar to those who play modern or old school RPGs. Rules are intentionally fast and are simplified in the spirit of games like ICRPG or Knave yet retaining popular modern rules to minimize learning curve. This world is system agnostic, play what you know. Use the rules you like, feel free to re-skin, and modify your favorite d20 system.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception asks:

  • What happens if Native Americans spirits could protect their land?
  • What happens if Angels chose California as a battleground.
  • What happens if Dark Watchers provide technology to the repressed?
  • What happens if the Gold Rush and innovation started years early?
  • What happens if more piracy boomed along the Pacific coast?
  • What happens if California Mythology was a real, prevalent force?

History changed. What happens next, and the details of locations within, are all to be explored for the first time and defined by the players, limited only by the imagination.

  • Investigate local politics or settlement trouble. 
  • Pursue your character’s goals and motivations.
  • Join an expedition into unexplored lands.
  • Prevent a threat, help those in need, or right a wrong.

This was a blast. I played an undertaker and enjoyed traveling through early California in an alternate universe. I killed some banditos, saved a few people, and disrupted an inquisitor cult. Special talents are fun, like flammable alcohol. You ca [...]

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.
