Drintera™ fantasy roleplaying game setting

Drintera™ is fantasy setting for tabletop roleplaying games. It's inspired by heroic mythology and by cultures and folklore from around the world.The tenets of Drintera are:<ul><li>Multicultural: We honor and draw inspiration from diverse real-world cultures.</li><li>Heroic mythology: Player characters are encouraged to embody heroic ideals. Monsters and magic follow the dream logic of myth and legend.</li><li>Deep lore: Our freelancers are history, folklore, anthropology, and science geeks. They create deep lore that's fun to read.</li><li>A Canvas for Creativity: Our aim is to light the fire of creativity. We want to make it fun and easy for a GM to build a campaign in Drintera.</li><li>Youth friendly: Adults can run games for youth without feeling embarrassed. Drintera is not for youth only. Neither is it for adults only.</li><li>System agnostic: Drintera is a narrative toolbox. It's about plots, characters, and lore. You can adapt that lore to any fantasy RPG rule system you wish to use.</li></ul>Drintera is published as a monthly PDF magazine. World-building is a big project that has to be done incrementally. Each issue contains at least 15 pages of lore, factions, and/or adventure locations and two original fantasy illustrations. Portions of each issue are posted for free to our <a href="https://www.worldanvil.com/w/drintera-shewstone-publishing" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">World Anvil</a> wiki.Drintera is for you if:<ul><li>You want to support a diverse team of freelance TTRPG writers and illustrators.</li><li>Reading RPG world lore is fun for you.</li><li>You want plausible conflicts that go beyond good vs. evil.</li><li>You want a world shaped by mythology where magic is wondrous and strange.</li><li>You view the setting as a canvas for your own creative storytelling.</li></ul>Drintera is probably not your cup of tea if:<ul><li>You want dark fantasy or anti-heroes.</li><li>You consider "woke" or "inclusive" to be detriments.</li><li>You'd miss drow elves, the Underdark, and other intellectual property from Dungeons and Dragons.</li><li>You're looking for ready-to-play adventures with full game statistics.</li></ul>Shewstone Publishing is committed to fair pay for RPG freelancers.
