Vault 5e: Victoriana Corebook ⤓

Enter a Victorian London of Steam, Sorcery, and Revolution for 5E!

‘Benny? Ran afoul of Scotland Yard, he did. Got pinched flogging cures for Sweeper's Lung down by Picadilly Circus. The potions ‘ad a spark of actual magic in ‘em, and Benny no more has a Guild license than I ‘ave two bob to rub together. Of course we’re gonna to do something about it, but on top of being a Macer, the Puck that nabbed ‘im has a Peerage comin’. No, we need to stitch up whoever sold ol’ Benny those potions, and then have a chat with a Grugach I know about springing our boy from Newgate…’

The year is 1887. The Second Great Age of Sorcery is losing ground to the Industrial Revolution, and London has become a powderkeg of rebellion, oppression, and magic. In the skies above the smog-choked city, Her Majesty’s famed Wyvern Riders share their roosts with mechanical Aerostats. Down darkened alleys, malcontent commoners gather to plot revolution. In smoke-filled clubs, whispered conspiracies consolidate power for the few and keep the many in their place. And slithering from the shadows come things from another age, hungry to feast on power in all its forms.

You and your fellow Irregulars are thrown into this world of monsters and malcontents. Will you be an agent of change? A champion of order? Or something else entirely?

The Victoriana Core Rulebook provides everything you need to jump into fantastical Victorian adventures for the fifth edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game:
