(Don't have the Pip System Corebook yet? The Ironbound Starter's Kit bundle contains this core rulebook PLUS this adventure.)

The peaceful witches of Novala lived in harmony with nature before the Apothecary arrived. Its machines tore up the soil and sickened the land. The Novallans saw no choice but to fight back to save their world. Now, it’s nature versus machines and conservation versus consumption. The witches continue to fight for their way of life and cleanse the blight brought by the Apothecary, but they are running out of time.

In the peaceful community of B­ristlewood, the characters meet the last member of an Ironbound coven that has been captured by a pair of Apothecary hunters. The hunters are seeking the Elder Tree, a sacred nexus point. As the characters intervene and aid the surviving Ironbound, they are brought into a hidden war between the Ironbound and the Apothecary...a war that may become their future.

Become a Novallan witch and join a special type of coven, known as the Ironbound, and take the fight directly to the Apothecary at great physical, emotional and spiritual risk. Use your witchy knowledge of herbs, gems, and energy to heal your world and bring back peace to Novala.

So Mote It Be is an introductory adventure for the upcoming Ironbound: Guardians of Novala setting (or IGON, for short) from Broken Ruler Games and the first chapter of The Book of Three adventure trilogy for the Pip Worlds community content program. This adventure introduces players to the magical world of Novala and the forming of a coven of Ironbound, guardians sworn to protect the land. It’s written for players new to the setting, allowing a group to discover Novala, form magical bonds, and begin a journey that sets the tone for the battle ahead. The purpose of this adventure is to engage and entertain the players while demonstrating what lies ahead for their heroes.

Written by Danielle DeLisle (The Ninja Crusade Second Edition, Dishonored) and Crystal Mazur (Pip System Corebook, Chicago By Night), everything you need to form your own Ironbound coven is here. This adventure uses the Pip System, and requires the Pip System Corebook. Included are five pre-generated Novallan characters, new guidelines for using magic in Novala, extras, rules for using Apothecary gear, and a PDF copy of Casting the Circle, an introduction to the Ironbound and the world of Novala. 

What Is Ironbound: Guardians of Novala?

IGON presents a fantasy world built on real world Wiccan and Pagan practises to provide a new twist on the standard fantasy RPG. While Ironbound: Guardians of Novala depicts characters who share Wiccan and Pagan beliefs with those in our world, there are reasons why they are referred to as Novallans and not Pagans or Wiccans (though we do use witch to ground Novala in the craft).  This is because these are a fictional people who share some beliefs with people from our world but have been modified and shaped to fit a more traditional fantasy world framework. We also, because of the diversity in pagan religions, did not feel comfortable claiming our inspiration was from one tradition or another. In other words, these are Novalan witches and this is their culture.

A content warning for machine horror? I don't understand -- what is machine horror?

It involves machines that could be used to cause really grotesque harm to characters, depending on how it's played. It's in here for two reasons: because the Apothecary has giant machines that can cut down huge paths through a forest with saw blades and flamethrowers, which can also be used against the heroes. The warning is there because some people have lost family members to farming accidents or construction involving heavy machinery.

Okay, thanks - I get it now. I'd just never heard of the term machine horror before. On another note, how far out is the full setting book?

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.

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.
