* [[FaunsAndSatyrs Fauns and Satyrs]]: In ''TabletopGame/{{Tephra}}'', satyrs are a bio-engineered race created by the Haudi Empire, only recently freed from a life of slavery.
* [[FishPeople Fish People]]: The ayodin are a humanoid player race with gills, webbed feet, and fin-like "wings" protruding from their back that they use to propel through the water. They come in two subsets, ocean and freshwater. Both subsets scorn the other as either inferior or corrupt.
* [[HouseSystem House System]]: All rolls are decided with a single d12, and character creation is based on choosing skills with three modifiers. Success at difficulty ranges from Mark I (acceptable) to Mark IV (epically achieved), and character advancement caps at level 12. This is known as the Clockwork System.

* [[Magic8Ball Magic 12 Ball]]: One of the PDF supplements is a trinket designed to take down airships. Rolling the Magic 12 Ball is risky: Its success (or lack thereof) is determined entirely by chance. The Magic 12 Ball is so dangerous that it is recommended only for the most confident (or suicidal) of adventurers.
* [[OurElvesAreDifferent Our Elves Are Different]]: In ''Tephra'', legend holds that elves used to be beautiful winged creatures, but their arrogance led to the gods punishing them by removing their souls, turning them into grotesque, hunchbacked monsters that more close resemble ogres. A controversial process called [[BioAugmentation bio-flux]] claims to restore their souls, and morphs the elf into a classic fantasy elf form, called faarishta.
