ADD TO WISHLIST >

Magarchy is a setting for Fate core 

MAGARCHY REIGNS!

The world is shaped by those with the means to shape it.  Wealth, power, smarts… and in your case magic.  You have seen the ills of this world and found them wanting.  You step forward to take your place in the annals of history.

Magarchy is an alternate history fantasy setting in which magic has existed since the dawn of time.  Having somewhat altered the faces and events of the past, magic takes center stage in the Italian Renaissance, when it allows for an early information and industrial age like no other.  Players are Magarchs, those with the magical abilities and will to take part in the major events of the world, whose drama is set in the 16th century England of Henry VIII. 

Magarchy takes its inspiration from both history and modern cyberpunk genre stories, posing a thought provoking juxtaposition of places and themes.  Hacking cybertechnologies and slinging powerful spells to fight or aid trans-kingdom companies bent on exploiting the peasant masses, Magarchs find themselves at the center of a timeless conflict between tradition and innovation, church and state, power and principle.

Welcome to the world stage, Magarch.  Hope you brought a weapon.

Overall, this is an interesting setting, though I have a couple of issues with it. The first is that while invoking the diMedicis, and other elements of the Italian Renaissance, the setting appears to focus on England, while ignoring the English xenophobia of the period. Second, there appears to be no real attempt ot evoke the feel of the period, relying instead of modern themes and ambiance of the cyberpunk genre. I approve of the use of the Greek term, though I think 'twould have remained closer to "kybernentes" than to have been rendered "cybernetics."

Sorry about that. I suspect it's because there's more than one file (a character sheet is included). Here's a link to a small preview I put together: https://www.dropbox.com/s/djn4n1h17pxqn8m/Magarchy_sample.pdf?dl=0

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.
