whatisatlantis.jpg

Based on the classic Atlantean Trilogy by Bard Games

Welcome to the world of Atlantis. This is a new role-playing game for a new generation that draws inspiration from the material of the original.

While staying true to the original setting, this all-new game expands upon it with a dynamic magic system, exotic technomantic magical creations, and rules to bring your character's back-story and drama to life at the table.

 

• Play as a twisted Netherman cannibal, a haughty Atlantean sorcerer, a bestial Anadaman thief, or a mercurial Jinn warrior.

• Face the horrors of the dark isle of Anostos, brave the fighting-pits of Atlantis, and battle Makara on the high seas.

• Uncover ancient conspiracies, cleave demented cultists, and conquer lands unseen by civilized man for a thousand years.

• Rebuild the might of shattered Atlantis, or wipe clean the past and create your own empire from the dust and blood of the lost age.

 

Will you be kingmaker, tyrant, thief, scholar, or slayer?

 

GAME SYSTEM INFORMATION

Atlantis: The Second Age is a rich setting that uses the Omega System but can easily be adapted to most popular fantasy role-playing games. In this game, players and gamemasters will find everything they need to run a campaign in the legendary antediluvian age, including the magic of Atlantis, an atlas of Antediluvian Earth, regional guidebooks, a compendium of creatures, unique playable races, and pantheons.

What is the Omega System? The game uses a straightforward rule set that utilizes a single D20 roll to resolve actions. The following section explains how to apply the rules to combat and non-combat situations.

THE RESULTS TABLE All actions in the game are resolved by the following procedure: 1. Determine the Degree of Difficulty (DoD). The DoD represents the relative ease or difficulty of an action. A positive DoD represents an easy action while a negative DoD represents a difficult action. 2. Add the character’s Skill or Attribute Rating to the DoD. 3. Take the result (a positive number, a negative number, or zero) and add it to a D20 roll. 4. Consult the Results Table for the result.

That’s all you really need to know. All the rules in this book are just variations of the above procedure. Players contribute by describing the Intent of their characters’ actions to the GM. Then it is the GM’s job to interpret the outcome of the Results Table and how it affects the particular scene the player characters are involved in. Guidelines and tips for interpreting these rolls are covered later.

It’s unlikely that Khephera has the rights to the original art, and even then the rights likely never included electronic distribution unfortunately.

I would like to know why there is a bowyer skill that says you can manufacture them and mention of them as example missile weapons in the ranged combat section, but then no crossbows are included in the weapon list.

I am not complaining, but, I'm curious as to why the pdf of Atlantis: The Second Age (KHP022.pdf) I downloaded has a different cover than the one depicted on this page?...also the page count is 10 pages more than what is listed on the Product information

Other than that, I am excited to have this as I had the original Lexicon for Atlantis published by Bard Games

any chance you Guys will be re-printing the Bard Games version in the future?

My one major question is if new Jin can come into being. Having read through most of the book the racial entry describes all of them as prehistoric but also mentions twins being born. They are mentioned to have become an increasingly rare sight which would imply negative population growth. Is it just that all the hero grade Jin are those that have had incarnations stretching back to before the world was made? Do you have them having children and then going on quests or some such to get new jars made for the children? Do Jina breeding create weird offshoot races born of the primordial chaos they embody? It's horrendously unclear in the book and I could use an explanation.

I think its clear that new Jinni can be born. From page 40: "When a Jinni dies, his words vanish, lost until another Jinni is born." Whether this is by sexual reproduction or some other means is unclear.

In terms of jars, I think there is a suggestion that new Jinni use the jars of those Jinni that have passed. However, I don't see any great issue with the idea that Jin may still make new jars, though such an artefact would likely be a pretty amazing feat of alchemy.

The number of Jinni in the world is a constant - though not all of them are necessarily 'awake' and might be sealed in their brass jar somewhere.

Each time a Jinni emerges from their Brass Jar, they are reborn. When a Jinni 'dies' their primordial essence (their soul if you will) is returned to their Brass Jar where they might wind up for an untold amount of time until they are "reborn".

Jinn breeding with Jinn 'create' more Jinn or at least enough energy to stir a jar somewhere. Jinn breeding with other races results in whatever the other race is. There's a sidebar about breeding somewhere, as I recall.

But he Publishing company has made the other 'edition' of Atlantis : The Second Age, so does that mean that there will be 2 versions of the the same? Or are we using the 'lowercase' t' to differentiate the two?

This is a completely new and considerably revamped edition of Atlantis. Khepera owns the rights to the older edition and does still sell that older edition at the moment. The blurb, cover image and other details should make it clear which is which.

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.
