Take Stillfleet and the Grit System into a world of espionage, assassination, and warfare that is quiet, cold, and high-stakes for the entire network of worlds exploited by the Worshipful Company of Stillfleeters.

Stillfleet is all about political tension and tough choices. The Grit System that powers it is built on assessing risk and reward when gambling with the eponymous resource, grit. Bring these into a world of espionage, and the result is Qadida—the new 100-page softback setting sourcebook for Stillfleet by Ian Derk!

If you're a fan of Spire or Blades in the Dark looking for a fresh take on some familiar themes, this will scratch your itch while introducing you to an absolutely engrossing new game.

What happens when a rival organization—the anarchic Honourable Company—finally takes power from the Worshipful Company? Can half of a domed city on a dwarf planet survive alone? Is Free Qadida slipping into authoritarianism, or is that just more Worshipful Co. propaganda? Find out in Qadida! (Successfully backed on Kickstarter in the summer of 2023!)

Qadida features:

• 4 new playable classes of spy-themed voidminer
• 4 new playable species—unhumans, noz, mycochaad, and cybernetic Qadidan provincials
• an entire new advanced powers list—espionage
• dozens of factions—including those of the shadowy, anti-capitalist Honourable Co.
• city-based random encounters, including police checkpoints
• new market tech and wondrous archaetech
• unforgettable locations and NPCs in and around the domed/divided city
• 2 full (ad)ventures to pull your table into webs of intrigue right away

Qadida features an in-world introduction to the domed/divided dwarf planet, all of the new rules mentioned above, in-depth backgrounds on the two halves of the dome (Co.-controlled Worshipful Qadida and anarcho-socialist Free Qadida), a special format-busting section on the hell science-haunted demilitarized zone called The Span (think Roadside Picnic/Stalker), two full-length espionage-filled ventures, and dozens of new encounter blocks.

Illustrated with characteristic lush abandon by Ethan Gouldini, Qadida lovingly yanks the Grit System into the Venn-diagrammed genres of detective fiction, environmental horror, and cold-war intrigue. Get it today—but don’t tell the Man a damn thing. ????
