We have released a revised and physical version of our supplement "The Book of Thieves"!
The original version, released in 2022, included tables, generators, maps, items, and encounters themed around thieves.
The current version contains double the content, which has been heavily revised, and delves deeper into each original section, while covering new topics.
Redrawn and supplementary plans allow players to explore new variations of buildings, including two new mansions, one new shop, one new small bank, and one new warehouse. A prison plan is now provided as well. We have also added a table of carousing events that we published a while ago to the mix. In summary, there are more items to steal, more tools to do so with, and more fun to be had in this light steampunk setting!
You will find a PDF sample here (atelierclandestin.net).
