A roleplaying game of fantastical inventions and Machiavellian politics in Renaissance Italy.

It is the Year of Our Lord 1510, and one has to wonder how differently history could have played out if Niccolò Machiavelli, the military commissioner of the Republic of Florence, had not understood the true scale of Leonardo da Vinci’s genius. In such a world, the visionary might simply have wasted his time painting portraits of women and doodling in a sketchbook. Instead, he unleashed a technological revolution where primitive computers, decorated with delicately painted cupids, run on water clocks; spring-powered tanks whir across the battlefield, with cannons thundering from their flanks; and gliders flit across perfectly blue Tuscan skies.

Gran Meccanismo is a roleplaying game of swashbuckling swordplay where Florence’s winding alleys swarm with sinister Venetian spies and Milanese mercenaries, as an army of robot knights marches past on their way to the Vatican. Players are patricians, mercenaries, spies, and inventors amidst a Renaissance Italy where they may find themselves crossing wits with Machiavelli, avoiding the charms of Lucretia Borgia, and hearing Christopher Columbus tell you about the new world he has discovered…

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rulebook?

A rulebook is a core guidebook that outlines the game's rules, mechanics, setting information, and character creation guidelines. It serves as the primary reference for players and game masters (GMs) to understand how to play the game and resolve gameplay interactions.

How do rulebooks enhance the experience?

Rulebooks enhance the experience by providing structure, consistency, and depth to gameplay sessions. They establish the game's universe, define character abilities and limitations, and offer guidelines for storytelling and role-playing. Rulebooks also encourage creativity and strategic thinking among players.

What types of rulebooks are available?

Rulebooks vary based on the game system and genre. They can include core rulebooks that cover basic gameplay mechanics and setting details, supplemental rulebooks that introduce new rules or expand on specific aspects of the game, and adventure modules that provide pre-written scenarios for GMs and players.

Where can I buy rulebooks?

You can buy rulebooks for TTRPGs here and for miniature games here.

How do I choose the right rulebook?

Choosing the right rulebook depends on several factors such as your preferred game genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.), complexity level, and storytelling style. Consider reading reviews, exploring sample pages, and discussing with fellow players to determine if the rulebook aligns with your gaming preferences and group dynamics.

Can rulebooks for different systems be used together?

Rulebooks for different systems are generally designed to be used independently due to variations in rules, settings, and gameplay mechanics. However, experienced game masters may adapt elements from one system to another with careful consideration and adjustments to maintain game balance and narrative coherence.
