Glimpse the Beyond Second Edition NOW AVAILABLE at /product/222857/Glimpse-the-Beyond-Second-Edition


         Glimpse the Beyond is a Role-Playing Game in which players assume the roles of Magi, rare individuals who study the arcane arts in an attempt to understand and possibly control that which Should Not Be. One player, called the Guide, crafts a story set in this world, using the rules in the Glimpse the Beyond corebook (available at /product/109234/Glimpse-the-Beyond)

Black Spiral Vortices is a unique setting expansion for Glimpse the Beyond, which examines options for an expanded, futuristic version of the galaxy. Black Spiral Vortices introduces a possible future for the world of Glimpse the Beyond, in which humanity has discovered the true nature of the supernatural through expanded exploration. Set in the year 2216, this supplement looks at a human race that has prospered through technological advancement and survived supernatural strife. Civilization as we know it in the 21st Century is a distant memory, and the Magi, once hidden from humanity, have risen to cultural prominence. No longer concerned with keeping their fellow humans in the dark about the supernatural, Magi now stand side by side with engineers and astrophysicists, using their knowledge to shape the future. Science and Magick have found a way to coexist in this world, by merging into the new practice known as Metateck, for the betterment and expansion of humanity throughout the cosmos.   

Black Spiral Vortices examines how new technologies and magickal revelations have reshaped the universe and expanded humanity’s role within it. The rules and materials herein are designed to explore a dark, yet hopeful future, far removed from the “world outside your window” presented in the core rulebook. This possible future is painted in broad strokes, leaving many of the specific details up to the Guide to determine. New setting elements and systems will be introduced which have been designed with the interstellar setting of Black Spiral Vortices in mind. Having said that, some Guides may wish to cherry pick certain elements from this book for use in a standard Glimpse the Beyond campaign, while ignoring other elements. Such is the prerogative of the individual Guide. It’s your game. Keep what you like and discard the rest. 

Black Spiral Vortices includes:

  • Alternate Character Creation Rules: an expanded rule set that allows players to draw up mundane humans, Magi, technomagickal Metaphysicists, or supernatural creatures as playable characters.
  • New Boons, Flaws, and Skills: Boons, flaws, and skills specifically designed for use in the Black Spiral Vortices setting.
  • Alternate Ritual Magick Rules: the Black Spiral Vortices setting is a futuristic environment. As such, Ritual Magick works a bit differently than in the core setting. Furthermore, Black Spiral Vortices introduces a new type of technological magick called Metaphysicks, and the rules for implementing this potent tool.
  • Locations: a brief overview several human colonies, both within the Earth solar system and beyond! Take to the stars with Black Spiral Vortices.

Black Spiral Vortices was written and developed by Travis Legge.

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.
