Historia - Dark Fantasy Renaissance Setting for 5e

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Historia is a Renaissance Dark Fantasy setting for the fifth edition of the world's most famous role-playing game that introduces the continent of Vesteria, a ruthless land full of intrigue and populated by anthropomorphic animals.

Characters will face the hardships and dangers of a feral and precarious world. The heroes of Historia will explore unknown lands, unravel plots and intrigue, and be forged by the fire of adventure.


This corebook includes:

  • 18 new playable races, called Familiae, divided into Species that allow you to play as over 50 different types of anthropomorphic animals;
  • 10 new classes designed to fit a Renaissance setting, each with different archetypes.
  • Firearms rules and historically accurate equipment;
  • New backgrounds that will further the destiny of the characters, the Ventures;
  • A new system of Factions and Careers with ranks and prestige
  • New rules for all your 5th Edition games;
  • Encounters and characters from the world of Historia.

The Sapper class implies that explosions (and perhaps gunfire) can trigger a save vs fear, but this appears to be the only place in the book that this fear save is mentioned. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

You may have been looking at an outdated copy of the game. "Soothing Words" is now called "Enlightening Words" and it enhances the ability "Wise Advice"

Hey! I'm reading through the professions and ventures, and I've found several times where it's mentioned that a character can learn a new language. Has anyone found a list of languages used in Vesteria, so we know what options we have for new languages? Thank you!

I believe they intended us to use real-world languages (Italian, French, English, etc.). At least I hope so, that's how I'm running things for my table!

Bonjour. J'ai commandé en pré-commande une version FR mais l'ensemble de mes fichiers (OUROBOROS, livre d'aventure, corebook et recette Hippocras) sont en anglais. De plus, la version Jdr et déclaration d'intention est aussi en anglais. Pourrais je avoir les liens en français ? Merci d'avance

Hi,

Got some feedback. It's a great book, amazing themes and clever ideas! But it's really plagued by inconsistent text (you/they in the class features, missing spaces or paragraph breaks, various strange wordings (most likely from auto-translations)) and other errors scattered around. It really need several once-overs to clean it up. Sadly, it comes across as a unprofessional release with so many errors.

Some quick examples (can't list all errors):

Page 79 Internal Compass, Page 88 Thick Skin, and Page 93 Echolocation are not bolded, looking like they belong to the previous class feature.

Page 131
* Armiger class feature, Action Dice. It does not say, or it's unclear, how the dice get replenished. Is it per short rest, long rest, day?

Page 249, Firearms.
* The table column for the damages say "AC" instead of "Damage"
* There are no firearms in the list that have the property "Stand". Why include...See more

Were the translation problems ever fixed, or is the print version just as bad?

Morning Dani,
the corebook contains a lot of lore,
but it's different from the lorebook, which explores other themes and characters of the vast world of Historia.

Had a chance to read a friend's PDF ... same as with Journey to Ragnarok: Impressive art, cool ideas, but really painful to read. You guys REALLY need a good translator/editor if you want to continue publishing stuff in english.

Apologies, but do we have a set date for the next update? I love the content, the art and the mechanics, but I can't deny the English version is a bit difficult to read. Great work on the book nonetheless!

Also the pumas leap ability has a typo unless of course you meant to have their leap be at 100 feet multiplied by strength in which case i guess pumas can reach orbit

Familiae and Species section are where the things I mentioned. Anteater "This is very strong and may need clarification. Does this cost an action (or reaction)? Does this apply to all attack rolls, or only against the Anteater?"

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.
