A lot of my homebrew settings feature forests in a prominent role. I'm not entirely sure why that is - maybe it's a western fantasy trope that's stuck in my head? (Murkwood?) Cambria is similar in some ways to Dark Sun, but very different in others. It's a planet-wide (ish) cityscape that's fallen into disrepair … Continue reading RPGaDay 2020 prompt 6 – Forest

Late to the party: RPGaDay 2019 prompt 25
"Calamity" So I've been working on a few ideas that involve huge calamities in the past - Cambria has a wholesale apocalypse caused by magic in the past, and now everyone lives in the ruins.Frostpunk is getting a One Page Campaign Opener after my RPGaDay posts run out, with a bit more details on what's … Continue reading Late to the party: RPGaDay 2019 prompt 25
Draft One Page Campaign Opener – Cambria
Hundred of years ago, the world had become a thriving metropolis powered by arcane energies.But of course, arcane energies are chaotic and hard to control. Eventually something went incredibly wrong, and the world was plunged into a dark age. Today, the cityscape is a ruin, with few remaining towers becoming the bustling trade hubs. The … Continue reading Draft One Page Campaign Opener – Cambria
Where to next?
At some point, I want to sit down and properly flesh out some more of my ideas, but who has the time? Ostromarka - I'm happy with where this setting has ended up I think. It needs a bit of work, but I managed to run one session, stealing from a one-shot Forgotten Realms game … Continue reading Where to next?

Accidentally other settings
So, it feels like a good few of the D&D settings I've worked on recently are variations of other settings that I haven't played. Yeah, fun right? Cambria - post-apocalyptic cityscape rewilded by a dense forest. Arcane magic is illegal, instead, there's psionics. Which is a bit like Dark Sun, in a forest instead of … Continue reading Accidentally other settings
Factions in Cambria
So far, I've come up with a few factions in play in the world of Cambria, at least the ones that operate over a larger area than a couple of settlements. The Reclaimers The Reclaimers seek to uncover the artefacts of fallen civilisation all around them, in order to determine those that are safe or … Continue reading Factions in Cambria
More from Cambria
After thinking a bit more about the setting and checking for some of my old files, I realised most of my old notes were destroyed when an external hard drive failed, so now I have to start putting things back together and try and work out what went where and such. But since it's well … Continue reading More from Cambria
Another new D&D setting – Cambria
So I was browsing through Pinterest the other day and a few things caught my eye, and then I was brought back to thinking about an old setting I had come up with during 3rd Edition. Originally a post-apocalyptic steampunk setting with jungles and tall ruined stone towers and airships, I think I managed to … Continue reading Another new D&D setting – Cambria
