The Dragon of Kraków

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $5.99

The year is 1365. The Black Death is ravaging Europe. Alchemists work on the elixir of eternal life. Fanatical preachers accuse the heretics and Jews of blasphemy. Magicians practice their craft in secret. And the ancient beasts, asleep for centuries, are on the verge of awakening.

The Dragon of Kraków is a historical investigative urban fantasy adventure set in historical 14th century Kraków, the capital of Poland in the times of king Kazimierz the Great.

Half of the book is a guide that allows the GMs and players to use Eastern European culture and medieval Poland as a setting or inspiration for world-building, adding realism to their fantasy gaming or character background.

In the book you'll find:

  • An introduction to the city of Kraków, including a helpful guide to Polish pronunciation, which can baffle many foreigners!
  • Nearly 80 illustrations, mostly taken from the public domain
  • An investigative, one-shot adventure in which the heroes must protect the Jewish people of Kraków from an occult conspiracy.
  • A guidebook to the Eastern Europe called "All You Ever Wanted To Know About Medieval Kraków But Never Realized You Did", including SWADE rules and tips for playing historical games. The guidebook presents the medieval Polish names, patron saints, clothing, food, literacy, views on magic, and more! -- all to inspire your own ideas.
  • Five pre-generated medieval characters from all over Europe.
  • Two additional print-friendly versions of the book (with no background and with no art) are also bundled with it.
Content Warning: This adventure is set in Kraków in 1363 and while it tries to make the medieval period palatable for the modern reader, it still features religious persecution and conflicts, mentions torture and violence.
It's available in English, not Polish.

Could this setting book be used for Savage Worlds: Solomon Kane? I get the settings are 300 years apart (1363 to 1600) but aside from advances in gunpowder tech and a very small bit of science, it sounds like it could work? Opinions? Options?

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.
