Contagion Second Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The world of Contagion is a dark and terrifying place. On the surface it is no different than the world you and I live in. Most people go on about their lives never realizing the terrors that walk among them.

Despite humanity’s vast ignorance, the horrors are there. Angels demons, gods and Hellspawn make war in the shadows. Clergy and Slayers rise from the human flock to protect their brethren and work God's will. Magi and Witches wield powerful magics in their pursuit of enlightenment.

There's a war in the shadows. Choose a side. 

Contagion Second Edition is a roleplaying game of modern horror and urban fantasy that utilizes a highly modified version of the 3.5 OGL. Contagion Second Edition provides a self-contained game system, unique in approach and design. The updated, streamlined system is familiar enough that seasoned OGL players and Gamemasters should be able to jump right in, while being simple enough for even novice gamers to quickly grasp.

We have updated Contagion Second Edition to reflect the book's upcoming release on Amazon and to commemorate its GOLD Best Seller status at DriveThruRPG.

This update includes:

  • All previous Errata integrated into the book

  • A new, improved Index

  • Bookmarks for all Chapters and Tables

  • Numerous art, layout and typo corrections

  • New Cover Art from Kraken Press

The Contagion Second Edition corebook updates the Contagion game setting, with expanded information on the history of the setting, exposing the secrets of the universe and opening the setting up to entirely new worlds and worldviews.

New rules include an improved combat system, an all new take on magic, magic items and metamagic feats, the elimination of levels and introduction of a points-based character creation and advancement system, the inclusion of Contagion Points, which allow the characters greater flexibility and resilience when facing the terrors of the night and serve as a central narrative force within the game.

Contagion Second Edition offers 20 playable races, 35 Callings, new feats, features Occupations and Traits enabling players to create unique, customized characters with which to explore the world of Contagion.

Contagion Second Edition was developed and written by Travis Legge with additional material by Kyle Hoskins, Darius McCaskey, Sarah Scharnweber, Jason ssg, Cathleen Stark, Tim Stotz, Thomas L. Vaultonburg and Adam Williams

Available in print on AMAZON!

You missed the opportunity to give this the title "Contagion: The New Variant."

Are there campaign ideas in the book?

Loads, though they are presented more as hooks within race, calling, and monster descriptions than a checklist of story beats if that makes sense.

There are about 50 pages worth of oozes, aberrations, outsiders, monstrous humanoids, undead, vermin, plants, and magical creatures. Most of them are darkly horror themed, such as the Bleeder Nurse, the Holocaust Host, and the Unthinkables.

You can never have too many monsters ;) The monsters in this book are all original presentations and interpretations, so the MM would still be of use for sure!

What are the differences between this version and the first edition? Are there story and fluff differences, does it advance the timeline, or are they just rules changes?

PUBLISHER
The story and timeline advance with considerable changes in metaplot (which can be incorporated or ignored in your own games) the rules are altered fairly drastically, with the elimination of classes and levels, streamlined magic and combat systems, and the integration of point buy character creation and advancement.

The core engine remains d20 system based, and the basic functions are the same, but apart from that it is a different system, and a broader, more developed world with FAR more options for your campaign.

Hope this helps!

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.
