The Compleat Booke of Experiments for Fallen RPG
A downloadable game
A rare and wonderful ARTEFACT for the FALLEN roleplaying game.
"What a stroke of genius! Imagine using this in a futuristic or post apocalyptic setting? An ancient, sacred document that holds the key to whatever ails you. This just oozes with flavor...spiked with tons of umami!" -- AmidaBosatsu

Actual 17th Century Recipes.
Inspired by The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (1770) by Hannah Glasse, The English Huswife by Gervase Markham (1615), and The Accomplisht Cook by Robert May (1660).
The recipes ("receipts" as they were called at the time) included are taken almost verbatim from the cookbooks mentioned above with only minor changes. It's a fascinating look into the 17th Century, and easily blends into the atmosphere of the Fallen RPG.
Ready your Lymbecke (i.e. alembic for distilling), grab some Langdebeefe (i.e. beef tongue) and bray (i.e. crush) your spices.
Note that Holwice Blodwell is a fictitious character created for the pamphlet.
Compatible with Fallen RPG.
Ready to use as a supplement for Fallen RPG by Perplexing Ruins, and easily adaptable to other OSR RPG systems.
Note that the Fallen RPG tabletop roleplaying system rules are not included in this adventure. You can purchase them either in print or as PDF separately. You can also download a character sheet and rules reference for free.
