ETU students fight monsters

Steamworks Preview: Goggles of Echolocation

As you hopefully remember, we’ve been writing about Steamworks since December. If not, Steamworks is our first new title under the Silven Crossroads fantasy brand, and it’s a doozy! This 150+ page fantasy supplement for the d20 system is a complete guidebook to introducing technology to your fantasy setting. Whether you want to introduce strange, clockwork artifacts in the tomb of a long-dead race, or play as an adventuring inventor, Steamworks is your comprehensive guide.

To give you a small taste of what is to come, here is just one of the cool gadgets found in Chapter 8: Technological Items.

Goggles of Echolocation: This pair of goggles has dark lenses, with a conical attachment on either side. While wearing these goggles, the wearer has blindsight to a distance of 20 feet. These goggles do not function in areas affected by magical silence.

Faint energy; SL 5th; Build General Item; Price 18,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Be on the lookout for more sneak peeks, including items and artwork, in the coming days. Also be on the lookout for a contest announcement, coming soon!
