Delve deeper into the strange world of Spire with this full-length sourcebook. Winner of the Silver ENnie award for Best Art, 2020.

Strata is a full-length sourcebook for the Spire roleplaying game.

What's in the book?

  • Two new classes: the purple-prose black-magic pulp fiction occultist Inksmith and the multifaceted and fractured Shadow Agent

  • Extra advances for any class: such as the flower-skinned Druid of the Living Spire, the muckraking Gazetteer, the sigil-scrawling Children of the Runestack and the language-hunting Lexicutioners

  • Ten scenarios (detailed below), allowing you to start a campaign of Spire easier than ever

  • More details on the richest and poorest parts of Spire: the shadowed and fecund Garden District, the decrepit grandeur of Ivory Row, the nightmare industrial bowels of the works, the alien luxury of Amaranth, and more

  • Beautiful full-page, full-colour artwork from Adrian Stone throughout



The scenarios in Strata are:

  • BETTER THE DEVIL by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor
    Forge unusual alliances as House Starys of the drow, long thought fallen, returns to Spire to take control.

  • HOME IS WHERE THE HATRED IS by Helen Gould
    Infiltrate and assassinate a wealthy aelfir household ruled by a cruel undying matriarch.

  • BISQUIET by Xalavier Nelson Jr
    Overthrow the government via the medium of arcane patisserie.

  • LINES IN THE DIRT by Pauline Chan
    You and your cell are being evicted from your Derelictus tenement. It’s not much, but its yours – can you bring the other residents on-side?

  • EYE OF THE BEHOLDER by Christine Beard
    An aelfir artisan is surgically modifying drow to act as tormented “masks” – unless you break into her lavish auction and put a stop to it.

  • THE FALL OF GLASSHELM by Mary Hamilton and Kira Magrann
    Bring down the Glasshelm corporation, and put a stop to their dreams of bulldozing the undercity to make way for new aelfir housing.

  • THE FORGOTTEN by Laurence Phillips
    After the death of their protector, a group of vulnerable citizens must navigate the dangerous world of espionage after they are caught between the Ministry and the Solar Church.

  • IRONSHRIKE by Ben Brock
    In the depths of Derelictus, the cell are tasked with eradicating a sacred market built in the worship of predatory capitalism. How do you kill a place?

  • THE SULPHUROUS PRESSES by Coman Fullard
    Given a printing press and some run-down premises in the Works district, the cell must gain dominance over the newspaper market by publishing their own propaganda and sabotaging rival papers.

  • DARK HARVEST by Chris Farnell
    After a mission goes wrong, the Ministry bundles the players off to the deep farms of La Grotte du Corde – but, of course, nothing is what it seems in this idyllic pastoral village.



Strata requires a copy of the Spire RPG to use the rules and setting within to the best effect.
