Capharnaum - The Tales Of The Dragon-marked RPG Core Book

ADD TO WISHLIST >

“I came seeking adventure, death, and vengeance… and I found Capharnaum. It called to me with its ancient gods and enmities, its mysterious quests, desert caravans and dusty souks.
I was tracking a djinn, one of the worst, a marid risen in rebellion against Marduk the Dragon. In the depths of the desert I had a vision of a thousand warriors crossing this scorching land. Here everything is in motion, wind and sand, and the night has a thousand colours. Everything is struggle – even for those who seek a peaceful life…”  -
 From The First Odyssey to Kafer Nahum, by Jilali Ibn Malik Abd-al-Hassan, holy warrior of Kh’saaba.

You bear the Dragon Mark. You are destined for great things, adventures where you’ll write the history of the world. In a land of mysteries and magic, where East meets West on the burning sands of Jazirat, your future awaits. Discover a whole new world, confront djinn, gods and dragons, and take your place among the heroes of the age!

Capharnaum – The Tales of the Dragon-Marked is a fantasy roleplaying game set in a world of Arabian Nights, Argonauts, and Crusaders. Inspired by the One Thousand and One Nights, the myths of ancient Greece, and the legends of the Crusades, it’s where history meets myth, and legends are born.

Capharnaum – The Tales of the Dragon-Marked includes:

  • A whole new world of history, legend, and myth – a profound and original setting.
  • Simple yet flexible rules encouraging player inventiveness up to epic levels of play.
  • Peoples, gazetteer, and bestiary for the land of Jazirat, inspired by Middle-Eastern history and myth.
  • Gorgeous maps and full-colour artwork.

Capharnaum – The Tales of the Dragon-Marked, translated from the original French, appears in English for the first time. With a vibrant community and supported by a line of supplements and adventures, all you need to play is this book, paper and pencils, and a handful of six-sided dice.

All hail the Dragon-Marked!

Hi Steven - thanks for your query! Yes, we plan to release the whole Capharnaum line, beginning with the Arcana of Adventure in 2022, and including the Bestiary and Kingdom of Heaven campaign. We're very glad to hear you love the system!

Where can I find a blank character sheet PDF?
I only own the physical book. Can't seem to find a download for the character sheet, however.

Hi Sarah.

Can you tell us if there's any plans for the release of the english version of the GM book (Livre d'Al-Rawi), and if so its ETA?

Cheers.

I want to read it now but I also want the physical book. Will there be some kind of physical book discount for buying the pdf?

Hi Jakub,

Yes, that's possible. Our direct sales of the hardback are handled by the Modiphius webstore; if you contact them with your DriveThru receipt for the PDF, then they'll be able to arrange a discount on the hardback version for you.

Cheers - and happy reading! :)

Full-sized preview only has TOC. I'm curious but I won't buy an RPG that shows nothing in the preview.

Hi Raymond - just to say we've corrected that and there's now a good 30-page section available via the full-sized preview. I hope you enjoy Capharnaum!

All the best,

Also, you can download the quickstart rules which give a pretty good overview of the game.

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.
