The Trisdekan Primer

The Trisdekan Primer: An Only War Expansion

This large homebrew expansion series for the Only War RPG contains everything you need to survive the battlefields of the 41st Millenium with style, in three volumes plus one.

Volume 1: Backwaters of the Imperium

Subsector Trisdeka is a sleepy industrial corner of the wider Imperium, providing troops and equipment to wars across half the Galaxy. This volume provides a setting gazetteer on the Trisdekans and their strange ways, from the petroleum-stained ice of Katyush to the radical sky-surfers of Tennanlowe. This volume includes:

• Nearly a dozen new and unusual premade Imperial Guard regiments.
• Dozens of plot hooks and campaign suggestions for running stories in and around Trisdeka.
• Strange beasts and peculiar items players might run across in the Subsector.
• A detailed Cold-Weather Combat appendix for simulating the harsh conditions of Trisdeka's most frigid worlds.

Volume 2: Tours of Duty

The Imperial Guard is an infinitely diverse army, fielding troops of all shapes, sizes, and tactical doctrines. Now you too can stride into battle as a pipe-playing Signifier, or call in air strikes as an Officer of the Fleet. This volume includes:

• More than 20 new Specialties, allowing you to build a huge range of Guardsmen and officers; Advanced Specialties for Stormtroopers, Commissars and Psykers that were missing from the original book!
• New homeworlds, regiment types and gear options to flesh out Regiments in unusual ways.
• Regimental Archetypes, letting you customize and tweak your characters- become a regimental mascot, or a nascent psyker, or a grumbling old-timer!
• Nearly 100 new Talents, new Orders, Skills, Combat Actions, Specialties for training Cavalry Mounts and so much more!

Volume 3: Synerge Armoury

From the beautifully-crafted muskets of Dolcaterro to the blinding Ecarlators of Edelweiss, Trisdeka arms its soldiers with a vast range of exotic and esoteric weaponry. This volume includes:

• Hundreds of new weapons, armour types and pieces of specialty wargear, from rifle grenades to skis, cavalry barding and field artillery.
• A vastly expanded Variant Pattern Gear generator to better customize regional and planet-specific kit.
• An entirely new Chemical Damage system to make combat more visceral and varied, plus rules for chemical warfare.
• A new Vehicle Variant generator, plus Vehicle Customizations, to bring depth and tweakability to vehicular campaigns. Also, camels and elephants and mounts galore!
