PIRATES, PLEASURE AND ARCANE ENGINEERING

Welcome to Keranius, the pirate isle—where freedom is taken at sword-point, civilisation is largely optional, and opportunity belongs to anyone ruthless, clever or entertaining enough to seize it.

Keranius is a haven for pirates, fugitives, traders, mercenaries, inventors and adventurers. It is the sort of place where fortunes can be made overnight, reputations can be destroyed before breakfast, and the difference between a respected captain and a wanted criminal depends largely upon who is doing the asking.

EroTech Gazetteer Number 3 expands the world of EroTech with a detailed look at Keranius, its inhabitants and the many opportunities it offers for adventure, intrigue, invention and extremely poor decisions.

This is not merely somewhere for characters to visit. Keranius can serve as a homeland, a campaign base, a refuge from more respectable authorities or the centre of an entire series of adventures. Its lawless character makes it ideal for crews who prefer to make their own rules—or who have already broken most of the rules elsewhere.

INSIDE YOU’LL FIND

• A guide to the people, places and peculiarities of Keranius

• New races suitable for player characters and Games Master creations

• Strange devices, useful treasures and arcane technology

• Characters, locations and ideas ready to be dropped into an ongoing campaign

• Inspiration for pirate adventures, criminal enterprises and expeditions

• A revised and expanded version of the Artificer

The expanded Artificer provides additional material for those who would rather build the impossible than merely cast another spell. Whether they are ingenious engineers, unstable inventors or enthusiastic meddlers in forces they barely understand, Artificers bring a distinctive mixture of magic, technology and potential catastrophe to the game.

The new races and setting material provide further options for creating characters rooted in the world of EroTech, while Keranius itself offers a place where almost any sort of adventurer can find employment. Smuggling, piracy, treasure hunting, mercenary work, political intrigue and experimental engineering can all thrive here—often simultaneously and in the same tavern.

Like the rest of the EroTech range, this gazetteer is intended to provide material that can be used rather than merely admired. Take individual characters, devices and locations for your existing campaign, or use the entire island as the foundation for something new.

EroTech is the official role-playing setting of Tabletopless, where adult performers and professional role-players explore strange worlds, dangerous adventures and distinctly grown-up fantasy gaming.

Keranius is open for business.

Bring a weapon. Bring your wits. Bring enough coin to buy the first round—and try not to annoy anyone whose ship has more cannon than yours.
