Starcana - The Silver Files

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Silver Files is the first expansion to the Starcana Campaign Setting, focusing on the mysterious force of starcana.

The breaker known as Pause collected accounts from around the Almacar Galaxy for his enigmatic employer, Lady Argent. This collection, labeled The Silver Files, details the history and repercussions of starcana in the recent past. It shows how people discovered and developed staracana since it emerged. These include historical miracles by members of the Vilithic Church, the study of starcana at a dedicated university, and a broadcast interview with a practitioner.

The Silver Files contains details on locations within the galaxy that are influential to starcana: Sauris and Ornithis University which premiered the Starcana Studies Track; Vilithic City, the center of power of the Church; and a newfound phenomenon known as “bleeds”: places scattered across the galaxy where starcana changes the landscape itself.


The Silver Files also includes:

  • Guidance on incorporating talents from the Genesys Expanded Players Guide.

  • Several new talents.

  • Optional rules to simulate the risks of learning spells in a time where there is little formal training in starcana.

  • 50 spells designed for the Starcana setting.

  • New adversaries, strange creatures that starcana created or altered forever.

I admit, I haven't purchased the Starcana setting book, but when you say "50 spells" here, are they just predefined combinations of spell actions and additional effects with extra flavour, or totally new constructions that could inspire other settings?

Hi Dylan,
Starcana uses the Magic Rules as described in the Genesys Core Rulebook. The 50 spells presented here are combinations of those actions and additional effects, with names and descriptions that fit the Starcana Setting. In the case of Conjure and Transform, the stats of the creatures are just below the spell itself.

The Silver Files also includes new Talents that affect spellcasting. To name a few: Creative Casting, Build Up, and Specialist.

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.
