The Greening of Cartyrion

First to arrive were the Alevar. They painted the landscape with the green of trees, shrubs and grasses, highlighted with a rainbow of colored flowers and fruits. Small creatures appeared in the woodlands, and songbirds filled the air with music.

Creatures Marvelous and Abominable

Not all Astralar had the deific abilities of creation wielded by their leaders, but this did not mean they were powerless. Many used their lesser powers to bring their own creations to life; while some chose to corrupt the works of others.

The World of Cartyrion is a world designed for role-playing adventures. The world itself is system agnostic; the plan is to release settings usable in any TTRPG system. Adventure modules already spec'ed out for popular rule systems are also in the plan. And a new, custom rule system called Laurels & Loot is the works as well.
       

I've been involved with Fantasy Role-playing games since the days of the Chainmail Fantasy Supplement (look it up!). For 45 years, I've been homebrewing adventures, campaigns, and worlds to play them in.

Our hobby and our world has changed a lot in 45 years, and since I don't want to go the way of my namesake creatures, I've adapted as well. So while the players in the worlds, campaigns, and adventures I create may experience a bit of pleasant nostalgia for the "golden age" of TTRPGs, they will also experience content designed for today's playing styles and sensibilities.

I believe the real golden age of our hobby is still in the future - and I plan to be a part of it.
