Book Description
This is a book that allows players to adventure in the pre-flood mythological world of Pangea compatible with Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition ruleset. INTRODUCTION: The World is ending… The gods are angry… The people want blood. Welcome to the Genesis Campaign Setting, a prehistoric world of violence and blood. A group of powerful beings called The Watchers were supposed to guide the world but instead fell in love with all it had to offer. Their offspring, the gods, war with these Titans and have set themselves up in various regions as separate pantheons of deities over the mortals. Dragons and Dinosaurs roam Pangea devouring the mixed blooded races all the while there is a prophecy of the world coming to an end, drowned in death. The world is young, only a few centuries past its first millennium. Magic is wild, powerful, and supernatural. The citizens of the world are violent, hardy, and bestial. The powers of good and evil are at a constant war. Paradise and Sheol are physical places in this world, as are Elysium, and Valhalla. From the six fingered frost giant Thor and his mighty hammer Mjollnir, to the half-blooded Nephilim Hercules and the fire breathing Leviathan Lotan, many legends have found their place in Pangea. A side note of historical and religious accuracy: Have you ever wondered if the myths of the ancients were based in fact? Have you ever wondered what the prehistoric pre-flood biblical world would look like in light of works such as the Book of Enoch and the Epic of Gilgamesh? As a religious studies major, I do not believe that this setting will be 100% accurate to what the biblical creation theory suggests, but all works herein are created with a sense of “What if?”. What if Thor and Zeus and these deities were actually the “Men of Great Renown” mentioned in Genesis Chapter 6. What if the Titans that battled and birthed the gods are these Nephilim mentioned in scripture and referred to as Titans by the Greeks. Creative license is obviously taken to create a fun campaign setting, but I hope this inspires all who play with a sense of wonder. What if this setting isn’t as fantastical as we think?
