Last Legend Setting/Pre-Campaign Overview

I had been running an up to date wiki, including session logs, for my current tabletop RPG campaign via Scabard, but my Scabard subscription expired and I haven't decided if I want to resubscribe yet. 

Still, I want to keep up with writing and posting session logs, so this seems like a potential place to put them. But I want to give some context for the campaign for people who might see the posts here that aren't involved in the campaign itself. I'll be posting them at an accelerated rate until I get caught up with what where we are in the campaign now.

Last Legend

The name of my campaign is Last Legend. It is set in an original fantasy setting called Tsud'uula. The feel/genre/content that I am going for, genre-wise, is Final Fantasy meets Horizon Zero Dawn, meets

some other things that I don't want to spoil yet.

Last Legend uses the Open Legend Tabletop RPG game system, a setting neutral system which is considered "open source." All the rules and character options for Open Legend are available online from https://openlegendrpg.com/core-rules/00-introduction.

Tsud'uula

Tsud'uula is a land powered by magic and machinery. The people have brightly chromatic colored skin in all colors of the rainbow.

The arrival of Arcanium, mechanical devices powered by arcane crystals, promises to revolutionize the world, but its place is still uncertain.

Artifacts of steam, smoke, and clockwork are plentiful, aiding the people of the world.

The remnants of the Refraction Wars, the technology and Robots of the Colorless pose danger to those who would wander the world.

The fifteen regions of Tsud'uula have been in a delicate and relative peace, but that peace tilts ever more toward war.

A great shadow stretches forth, to consume all in darkness , but hope remains.

Our story begins in the small town of Mūsūyya, in the valley around Mount Yunnup, as a festive atmosphere reigns through the town. The Mūsūyyan Arcanification Celebration is a great time for many people from all across Tsud'uula. But will the happy day be disrupted by outside forces?

If You're New to My Blog...

I am an author of books and gamemaster of tabletop RPGs. These topics are the primary subjects of my blog. My primary project for the last several months has been The Book of Destiny which is a book that I've been presenting in audiobook format over a podcast called "The Books of the Universe." The full audiobook has now been posted at this point.

The Book of Destiny takes place in a shattered multiverse and focuses on a scattered group of characters facing many threats to the worlds including a group of world destoryers, monsters, the return of dragons, and the void itself. Check it out from the beginning at: https://anchor.fm/booksoftheuniverse/episodes/Episode-101-An-Allowably-Costly-Bargain-ecat9r or on your podcast service of choice by searching "Books of the Universe."
