This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Natty Bodak;776591I just got my copy of Atlantis and have started to read it. I have a fever and the only cure is more swords and more sorcery!

Ha! Didn't R E Howard create Conan in such a moment? :D

So excite. Theragraphica is going to be so useful for running an Atlantis game.

Nice, was that a perk or a thing you did yourself?

It was a reward in one of the higher tiers of the Geographica KS. Still awaiting my map plates, but apparently they are being printed.

My campaign is at 10 sessions, though it feels like it is only just starting TBH.

I had a seriously badass game session last night. We had a major multi-stage fight in a snow bound village in north Otesium. After a highly charged dramatic scene, the village was attacked by over 10 wild Asena leading a massive pack of wolves. After some fighting, the Atlantean PC basically browbeat the alpha Asena into submission only to find that the Asena were fleeing from a vicious tribe of warriors from the Black Forest :)

That tribe attacked taking the chief's heir prisoner, whilst its best warriors issued personal challenges to the chief and two PCs. Whilst this happened, another PC was almost assassinated by an NPC, which saw both combatants on death's door and drew in another PC for a PC on PC fight.

The whole thing finished with an avalanche :D

Theragraphica cover revealed:



The trilogy is almost at a close and it is still 2 days before the first anniversary of this thread and me receiving the Beta release of the corebook :D Khepera Publishing are anything but sluggish.

The Theragraphica is filled with sword & sorcery appropriate creatures, each with their own picture, and most having grounding in the RPG's use of diverse cultures from around the world.

Yesterday's KS update said that the Theragraphica PDF may be available this weekend. And it looks awesome.

And its out. So what do you get? Its 172 pages.

You get around 10-12 monsters for each of the 14 geographical regions (Oceans & Seas only gets 3). Nearly 100% have an amazing art piece. The monster are almost all dark, grim and exotic, often grounded in cultural myths associated with the region.

There is then two 6 page sections on Demons of Ba'al and Ophideans of Mu. This is followed by 4 pages of Dragons, each being almost godlike in power and unique. There is another Dragon hidden away in the Eurpoa section too :)

There is a 10 page section on Common Foes. This includes mortal foes, elementals and other monsters found anywhere.

There is a 10 page Adversary Creation section. This largely replicates what's in the book but has been expanded and tightened up.

The book wraps up with mundane animals and a list of the Monsters' threat level by area.

All in all, this book is packed with monsters and beautiful art to depict them. The additions made around Adversary Creation will mean that a GM will only need this book in order to choose or make monsters for their games.
