Svartalf Posted May 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 21, 2023 Say, I'm not very familiar with Lemuria... I know Valgardians are Viking like, but are there areas where the natives are more Celt like, or Cimmerian like?

Neopopulas Posted May 22, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think the closest you would get to Cimmerians is the Axos Mountains. They have a similar look and are tribal barbarians Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword & Sorcery characters aren't the usual heroes. They're in it for themselves, primarily.

roryb Posted May 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 25, 2023 Is this canon Lemuria? Or are we doing more normal fauna for this game? I kinda like the dino-alike critters, but either way is fine.

Malkavian Grin Posted May 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 25, 2023 Yeah, I was curious about that too. The book hardly has any normal creatures (there's only a bear and a wolf by my count). I won't complain though, since it feels thematically appropriate in my personal opinion. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest reading the intro stuff about the Sorcerer-Kings since that's like basic setting knowledge (like a story you tell kids to scare them, since it was long, long ago I believe). It's only a couple pages. Looking at a map might be beneficial just for placement and scope of the world-size. (Check Google) You may want to scroll through the bestiary real quick just to see how weird the animals are too! Lot of dinosaur-inspired stuff.

roryb Posted May 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 26, 2023 Skimming is all that's required...maybe not even that. It's a barbaric time as man has eked its way back among the savage wilds after the fall of the sorcerer-kings. The setting is lightly sketched. It was based on Lin Carter's Lemuria, which was actually quite colorful with very interesting and quirky names. Simon Washbourne converted to his own version of it, filing of the serial numbers. If you ever would want to get into the origins of the setting in greater depth, it would be those novels. They're not great literature, but fun reads. Washbourne's version means we can always make it our own. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
