Setting (new threads)

Calendar

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 00:41:19 +0000

Okay, so the names of the months were done by Christopher Perkins (who first developed this Iomandra setting).

Some of them are dragon gods from D&D/Forgotten Realms lore. One, Ashardalon, is a powerful red dragon that tried to become a god, in the 3E D&D module series.

Some, I have no idea where they came from.

I am going to redo some of them. Name them all after dragon deities or great dragons of the past. Then give a bit of background for them.

For eg. I want to name one after Arranaxus the dragon goddess of magic I have made up as our game has progressed. I will then tie this into the history of the world more :)

BTW. The Waves of Destiny campaign has taken place in Tamara. That is a dragon goddess. That will not change. But I do want to provide some details about who these dragons were.

Religion

There is now a Religion Page for Iomandra. I hope actually putting in the one place helps (rather than references to the deities and many sourcebooks under the Race descriptions).

I hope the players check it out too. Comments welcome.

Goblinoids

Sat, 21 Oct 2017 06:06:20 +0000

You know, a couple of regions (namely Sanghor) refer to goblin inhabitants. Given the nature of this unique campaign and a wish to move away from some staples we have done over, I am going to remove goblinoids from the setting.

However, I am going to use 'goblin' as a generic term people use to describe small dragonspawn. That way I can use the term goblin still and it gives new meaning to the word for this setting ;)

Regions - Colours?

Wed, 13 Sep 2017 13:16:16 +0000

Thinking of giving each region a different colour heading?

This might help when remembering which Region you were on. Also, in the history page, I list which region each event is relevant to and colour might help distinguish.

Would that help, or just make things more convoluted given we do the different Games Mechanics/Systems in diff colours? (Will the name after the date on the History Page be enough for you to scroll down and see what happened in your region?)

Races Present

Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:02:04 +0000

Though I would start a thread just to discuss the races available. (This is not a rules thread, so if you have specific Q's re race traits etc - Head to Rules & Tools Forum).

This is for setting-based Q's re races, such as, "Is such-and-such race present?"

Or ideas to help me write the few intro paragraphs for each race (like the 5E D&D Player's Handbook).

Maps

Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:00:03 +0000

Not sure if people regularly visit site and read Home (or other page updates)? Seems I might get attention if post in forums.

Just letting people know, I have put up a Region map of my Iomandra (very different to Christopher's Perkins' maps).

Hopefully this helps you get a feel for roughly where things are.

Any of these 'full setting' style maps do not show the MANY smaller islands not shown at this scale.
