Title: Tables and Tools for a Bronze Age to Antiquity Sword & Sorcery Setting
Post by: TimothyWestwind on October 04, 2020, 09:12:41 AM
For the past couple of years I've been creating tables and tools for a setting based in Southeast Asia during the last Ice Age (I'm calling it Elephant Queens & Tiger Kings). While my particular preference is towards a "Bronze Age Sword & Sorcery" feel these resources can be used for a variety of settings.

My intention for this project was always to create resources that empower people to create their own setting. I don't want people to feel like they have to read pages and pages of history and lore to get involved. I want people to play to find out what happens and shape the world as they go.

Here's a selection of the resources I've created.
