SA: Tesla Dead Zone DLC

This is an expansion for Shattered Aether, an Illuminated game by Colt Hack. This is supplemental material only, and does not include basic rules.

Supplement v1.0, compatible with SA v1.5!

On the western coast of what used to be called Africa lies the Sea of Tesla, a massive array of Tesla coils that crackle with electricity. Spaced perfectly to resonate EMPs that repair the damage to the Aether around them, this kilometers-wide field of towers renders magic weak and even useless in some places. The effects of this stabilization field, however, allow a small group of scientists to continue to use electronics normally, granting them centuries of history and technological advancement that no others in the new world have. These scientists guard their secrets carefully, and work diligently to find a way to repair the fabric of reality around the whole planet.

Keepers know of this place only as a myth, and it lies deep in a dead zone where they aren’t normally allowed to go. Only the brave, the desperate, and the foolish ever venture through the desert to get to this mythical and forbidden land of “anti-magic” and technology. What secrets does this old world colony hold? Why hasn’t the Overseer claimed dominion over them? What terrifying technologies lie within its borders? 

Seek these answers and more in this expansion to the post-apocalyptic looter-shooter TTRPG, Shattered Aether. This jam-packed 3-page DLC includes new lore and locations, as well as new powers, rules for languages and special environmental effects like anti-magic fields.
