Everything. You. Need.

• To play historical a historical or fantasy campaign using Stara Szkola Rules.
• To play a hybrid campaign with historical characters in a fantasy realm
• To develop or adapt your own fantasy or hybrid setting  

The year is 1517, and you are about to enter a new world. You are standing near a small town on the banks of the Rhine, before a cave entrance in a hill, along with about two hundred other people and a collection of horses, carts, and wagons. This is the most recent expedition in a long series about to embark into a land so strange and uncanny, that it is beyond anything you have experienced, or any of your ancestors dreampt of, going back countless generations.

The members of your expedition are a diverse group including men and women of every estate. You can hear an array of languages – German in four or five distinct dialects, French in at least three, English, Italian, Polish, Czech, Catalan, some others you don't recognize. These people, with their many fine horses, and carts laden with cargo, stand ready for a long and strange journey into a land weirder than any of them ever imagined.

Elegantly dressed diplomats with rapiers on their hip and servants by their side; humble pilgrims with staves and little badges on their hats; hardy explorers and prospectors leading mules with all kinds of gear; young merchants in fur coats, and swords on their belt, carefully inspecting wagons piled high with valuable merchandise; couriers with their pouches and their daggers; students; journeymen; peasants; friars and nuns. Almost every walk of life is here.

The caravan guard are hard-eyed, bearded mercenaries in battered, blackened armor. They lean patiently on halberd and arquebus, muttering to each other, smiling here and there. They've been through the portal many times already. Experienced knights in gothic harness chat in their saddles, sharing flagons of wine, clustered in little groups of four or five horsemen, each preparing to transition from the familiar world of Latinized Europe, into a realm of fantastic opportunity and unfathomable peril: An entirely new world called the Nebelwelt.

Drum and Pike: The Fog World is a new sourcebook for Stara Szkola, designed to allow players and GMs to access Fantasy genres while using the historically based combat system Codex Integrum is known for, and if they want to, play carefully researched historically based characters in a fantasy setting. This book is divided into two sections: Drum and Pike, which covers historical characters and rules for gaming in early 16^th Century Europe, and The Fog World, which covers rules and setting material for playing in a range of fantasy realms.

What this book is for

This sourcebook has two parts, Drum and Pike, and The Fog World. Drum and Pike is an SSk historical setting book set in the medieval world, this time focused on the military realm, with rules for new Vocations like Knights and Landsknechts, and setting information for the Rhineland in the early 16^th Century. It is similar to our previous historical Supplement for SSk, Streets of the Fencing Master, except that it is set sixty years later in time.

Part two of this book, The Fog World, was written for players of Stara Szkola or Codex Integrum who want to run games within the fantasy genre, and specifically for those who want to play any game in which historical characters can interact with fantasy monsters, magic, NPCs, settings, and situations. Like within underground complexes… 

To merge these two worlds, this is a hybrid setting which allows historical characters from early 16^th Century Europe to explore fantasy worlds. You can use Drum and Pike to play games in 16^th Century Europe, or you can use the hybrid setting we created, or enter a fully fantasy setting using the Fog World rules. Hack the setting to be more to your own liking and play that, or simply rely on the new rules and random tables here as guidelines to write your own adventures… Convert your favorite fantasy adventures or settings from other RPG systems for use with SSk.

This includes the following: 

• Four new Historical character Vocations (Landsknecht, Natural Philosopher, Knight, and Voyageur)
• Four new Fantasy character Vocations (Barbarian, Grandee, Burglar, Sorcerer)
• Two complete magic systems (with overlapping rules), one for the historical / mythological world, one for the Fantasy world
• Seventeen new spells based on historical grimoires and other sources.
• Twenty new spells based on Fantasy literature and conventions
• Complete skill system with new skills. 
• Rules for managing Fire
• Mapped out hybrid setting with dozens of factions and groups
• Detailed robust descriptions for six settlements where you can roleplay and launch adventures
• Twenty five new monsters for SSk, completely statted out
• Thirty seven statted out NPC types ready for combat or roleplaying (twenty eight historical and nine Fantasy)
• Six new Fantasy peoples (Peri, Elves, Dryads, Sirens, Dwarves, and Gnomes)
• Forty new individual NPCs to interract with
• Systems for random adventure generation within a complex and lived-in world
• Thorough system for trade with multiple tables for markets with all kinds of goods
• Rules for trade and commerce
• New Melee and Missile weapons and armor (both fantasy and historical)
• Rules for firearms and cannon
• Twenty three new magic artifacts
• Complete Rules for generating new magic artifacts 

Slow down and describe, describe, describe!

Knight Seron Val’Kar expects superstition and shadows when someone sends him to investigate sinister disturbances on the Empire’s wild frontier. Instead, he uncovers a warlock’s lair, a forbidden artifact, and a storm of harpies that darkens the sky. As ancient powers awaken and the monstrous Harpy Matriarch unleashes her fury, Seron must wield the legendary spear Angdar—knowing its whispers threaten to consume his soul.

With the fate of the Bavidirian Empire hanging by a thread, Seron and his unlikely allies—mages, beastmasters, and warriors—must unite against a force that commands the wild itself. From breathtaking battles on craggy ridges to desperate stands against a legion of nightmares, Seron faces not only the enemy without, but the darkness within.

Will courage and unity be enough to withstand the onslaught, or will the Empire fall to the shadow that stirs in the north?

Epic battles, ancient magic, and unforgettable heroes await in this sweeping swords-and-sorcery adventure. Step into the storm—if you dare.

This audiobook is narrated by the author and recorded and mixed by Seidmann Games.

This guidebook is your guide to running and playing in a West Marches-style campaign.

Inside, you’ll find clear, practical guidance on preparing sessions, running the game, and embracing character-driven storytelling adapted for an audio-first experience.
Designed as the foundation for the West Marches series, it explains the principles of open-world play and shows how to set up a campaign that thrives on exploration and player choice.

For those who want a complete West Marches toolkit, this audiobook pairs seamlessly with the West Marches Playkit (PDF Edition Bundle), which includes the Guidebook, Game Master Workbook, Party Ledger, and Player Journal in one discounted package.

Together, these books form a complete system for every level of West Marches play from first expedition to long-running open-world campaigns.

Combat Cards are monster cards with stats that can be printed and used as encounters in tabletop RPGs.

This set is an undead-themed collection, designed for use in dungeons, crypts, and catacombs. Each card represents an undead creature and is ready to be used straight out of the box, making encounters fast and effortless to run.

How Combat Cards work

• Print the cards and cut them out.

• Shuffle them and place them in a single deck.

• During play, the Game Master draws one card from the deck.

• The drawn card counts as the encounter, immediately defining the monster and its stats.

This set contains 27 ready-to-use monster encounters and is compatible with most D100-based systems, including Rolemaster and Ildmarra IDR.

Treasure Island is a richly detailed pirate hideaway designed for exploration-driven adventures. The island features dense jungle, treacherous coastline, hidden beaches, ominous ruins, and numerous evocative landmarks—each perfect for clues, encounters, and narrative twists. Whether your players arrive by shipwreck, mutiny, or ill-fated bargain, the island invites discovery at every turn.

This pack includes two complementary versions of the same island:

• A full-color tactical map for immersive gameplay and encounters

• A drawn parchment map ideal as an in-world player handout or treasure map clue

Use them together to let players uncover the truth behind an old pirate legend—or let the parchment map mislead them toward danger.

All you need to do is place the X.

Perfect for pirate campaigns, jungle exploration, lost treasure hunts, or any adventure where mystery and greed rule the seas.

Designed to be used with any roleplaying game system, these maps can easily be integrated into popular Virtual Tabletop (VTT) systems such as Roll20, Fantasy Grounds and others. The maps may also be printed.
