Active Development

Marvelous Tales of Swords and Sorcery is in active development. The text, rules, and character options are fully complete. A world and regional map, flavor, and 13 factions are provided for the region of Esharra. However, the setting is still a work in progress. Here are my development priorities.

  1. A campaign starting situation.
  2. A starter city - Baku Silas (Weeping Rock) -  An important trading city on the edge of a great desert.
  3. Additional playbooks from other regions, like Jutanni Blood Witches and Val-Tivan Storm Callers
  4. Rumors and Legends
  5. A full setting guide centered on the Empire of Esharra 

If you purchase now, you will have access to all updates at no additional cost.
