Contents


The core book is a digest sized, 656 pages, hardcover book in full colour, including almost 400 pieces of artwork.
Burning Empires builds on the Burning Wheel game mechanics, while adding in new rules such as:

World Burner
Technology Burner
Infection mechanics
Firefight
Psychology
Alien Life-Form Burner
The game builds on some of the sci-fi elements and scene structure from an earlier Burning Wheel supplement, Burning Sands: Jihad. The game fiction assumes a race of sentient wormlike creatures called Vaylen which infect humans and take over their brains. This infection happens on a massive scale, eventually taking over whole planets in the process.
The phases of a Burning Empires campaign are: infiltration, usurpation, and invasion. And these correspond to the stage of the Vaylen infection on the planet.
Typically, the GM or Game Master will take on the role of the Vaylen invaders, while the players will take the role of mostly humans, who are trying to actively stop this invasion.
