Explore a Whole New World of Intrigue and Adventure in Shores Of Korantia Korantia: a coastal region of the great continent of Taygus, home to dozens of city-states and scores of Goddesses and Gods - each with their own wants, needs, plans and schemes. The Enemies and Rivals: To the south are the Jekkarenes, the ancient enemy with cause to fear a Korantine revival; in the east the swelling Taskan Empire draws closer to Korantia's borders with each passing generation; to the north the warlike barbarians of Marangia have fallen quiet since the Taskans seized their capital. To the west is the open sea and beyond are distant lands where colonies were set down in centuries past. The Emperor: Koibos is the 61st Emperor of the Korantines and the 24th of his name. A vigorous young man in the prime of life, ruler of an ancient empire long past its days of glory. It falls to him to restore his realm to greatness or become an irrelevance to the dozens of city states over which he claims sovereignty. These are the Shores of Korantia. In this book you will find everything you need to adventure in Korantia and beyond; rules for character creation, cults, encounter tables for land and sea, economics, a fully detailed colony in which to start off your adventures, many fully detailed NPCs and a mini-campaign that will plunge your characters into intrigue and plot, culminating in a perilous expedition to a mysterious and dangerous desert island.

Book Description
Thennla is a fantasy setting for the Mythras game system. Encircled by the Outer Ocean, watched by the God of the Sun and the Goddess of the Moon, Thennla's continents reveal themselves. The jungles of Jandekot; the vast deserts of Rasputana; and there, in the east, the Moon Goddess Jekkara anchored over it, is Taygus, land of plains and hills, the great inland sea and teeming civilisations. Here empires are born: Korantia, fading now, but defiant, its city-states each a goddess incarnate; the Jekkarenes, oldest of all civilisations, and blessed by the Moon Goddess; and now the Taskan Empire, overturning centuries of tradition with new ideas, ruled by a god-emperor and his avatar, the Iron Simulacrum. And watching closely is Assabia, a land of cruel rites and cunning sorcerers. The World of Thennla sourcebook is available as a paperback (or as a free PDF) resource for Mythras - a campaign world that is open for exploration and adventure. It includes an overview of the world, centering on Taygus, and describes the magic of the place, and how to create Thennlan characters. More information is given in the supplements Shores of Korantia and The Taskan Empire, but this is an ideal introduction for Games Masters and players who want a magic-rich world of high adventure, with the flavours of classical Greece, Rome, Persia and Byzantium. The Thennla sourcebook will get you started and wanting to learning more. It will inspire you to create your own adventures and develop the cultures outline in its pages.If you already have Shores of Korantia or The Taskan Empire, this booklet is not essential, although it may prove a useful gazeteer for players.

Book Description
Welcome to the birth of the Roman Republic, and follow it through to its murderous end, a tumultuous ride through some of its most turbulent history. Mythic Rome encapsulates the dark and gritty past, allowing players to take part in the founding of Rome: as a bandit on the Tiber; to overthrow the tyrannical 7 Kings; conquer the rival Etruscan city states; watch the city be sacked by Gauls; battle Hannibal during the Punic Wars; take part in the malevolent Bacchanalian Conspiracy; fight alongside Spartacus (or against him); or choose sides during the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. This invaluable book contains rules for everything from political standing to chariot racing, along with comprehensive Roman careers and guides for weapons, armour and Combat Styles of Rome's legions and her enemies.

Book Description
With her master dead and her oaths foresworn, necromancer and spy Isyllt Iskaldur finds herself in exile. Hounded by assassins, she seeks asylum in Assar, the empire she so recently worked to undermine. Warlords threaten the empire's fragile peace, and the empress is beset by enemies within the court. Even worse, darkness stirs in the deep desert. Ancient spirits long held captive are waking -- spirits that can destroy Assar faster than any army. Accompanied by an outcast jinn, Isyllt must travel into the heart of the desert to lay the darkness there to rest once more. But her sympathies are torn between the captive spirits and the order of mages sworn to bind them. And whichever choice she makes could raze the empire to dust.

Book Description
Weave legendary stories in the world’s greatest roleplaying game. All you need to run a Dungeons & Dragons game is your imagination, some dice, and this book. The Dungeon Master’s Guide teaches you how to how to run D&D adventures for your players— how to invent monsters for them to fight, mysteries for them to solve, and fantasy worlds for them to explore. “[The Dungeon Master’s Guide is] the one book to rule them all, the most comprehensive and powerful set of resources needed to run a game of D&D. . .” —Charlie Hall, Polygon.com “D&D acolytes are everywhere...Tech workers from Silicon Valley to Brooklyn have long-running campaigns, and the showrunners and the novelist behind ‘Game of Thrones’ have all been Dungeon Masters.”—Neima Jahromi, The New Yorker • The Dungeon Master’s Guide is one of the three main Dungeons & Dragons books, along with the Player’s Handbook and Monster Manual. It’s a reference used by the Dungeon Master (the game’s narrator) to create adventures—to run Dungeons & Dragons games and fill them with characters and stories. • The Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG) is full of tools to help you immerse players in the game. What’s the demon lord’s secret weakness? Are the orcish invaders a criminal enterprise, or traitorous allies? Dozens of tables throughout the book help inspire your decisions and keep the game flowing smoothly. • In the Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG), even the tables tell tales. A legendary sword takes five decades to craft. Who created it, and why? A tavern-crawling gnome has an eye twitch. How did she get it, and when? In every detail is an architecture for narrative—and the Dungeon Master’s Guide has all the tools you need to flesh it out with ease. • In Dungeons & Dragons, you and your friends coauthor your own legend. Guided by a Dungeon Master, you create characters and play their roles in a story, rolling dice and navigating maps as you unfold a tale as limitless as your imagination. • Dungeons & Dragons is the world’s greatest roleplaying game. Created in 1974, D&D transformed gaming culture by blending traditional fantasy with miniatures and wargaming.
