Blackhand illusionist

Bliaron 2nd Edition is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game of spiritual magic and bronze-age political, ideological and cultural tensions. With over 15 years of development, Bliaron has matured into a ripe, powerful and complete game that is suitable for both beginners and experienced gamers alike. It’s a game for those who want to be drawn in by a rich fantasy story, and not be bogged down by slow, complex or hard-to-understand rules.

Spellcrafting

  • Three modes of creating magical effects: Spellcasting, Runesmithing and Ritualism
  • Magic is composed of spirits of seven fundamental Forces: Sensation, Heat, Kinetic, Matter, Destruction, Life and Thought.
  • Spells are based on Effects that describe what a spell does and Qualities that describe how the spell acts.
  • Deep magical theory explaining multiverses, essence of reality, magic and time and space.
  • Over 100 example spells and rune-items

Bronze Age Fantasy

  • Bronze-age fantasy, tribal native peoples, early democracies and kingdoms
  • Complex cultural, political and ideological tensions that build stories and exciting adventures
  • Aspects of Stone Age and Human prehistory
  • Over 30 clear adventure starters for each world region
  • Over 10 detailed examples of Bliaron-themed adventures

Storytelling

  • Easy basic rules using ten-sided dice
  • Material for the GM to facilitate easy storytelling, improvisation and emergent gameplay
  • Various cultures, religions and other backgrounds to help play interesting characters
  • Guides and tips for GMs and players for semi-improvised storytelling games
  • Over 50 encounters that help you focus on storytelling

Well rounded and deep system of magic

With a deep and well thought out magical theory, natural spirits, fundamental Forces and power imbued in runes, Bliaron is the game for those who are interested in playing with the concepts of magic, nature and reality.

The magic system is based on the view of a stone age man: Natural forces are explained by spiritual creatures and magical actions. Bliaron asks questions like “What if our feelings are manifestations of the supernatural?” and “What if natural forces are mere reflections of spirits around us?”

Easy rules that support storytelling

Rules are easy and quick and support storytelling. They provide advice and material for the GM and the players through all phases of a story. Encounters and world regions are provided with story hooks, story-enriching questions and drama-creating tensions. Bliaron gives you the tools to create interesting games easily.

Over 200 pages of material

As a pdf e-book with over 200 pages of creative material, Bliaron provides gaming groups with a deep and detailed background setting. There is plenty of material to explore but it’s written into clear sections that help you start with the most interesting bits and allow you to leave the rest for future games.

Yes! And quite soon, if everything goes smoothly. We wanted to fix the few errors of the original digital release before printing, but now that it's done, there is very little in the way.

While there still isn't that much in the way, we have encountered a few quality issues with the print. We are currently looking for ways to get past these issues. This unfortunately means that the print version will be delayed for an unknown period of time.

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.
