Beasts & Barbarians Player's Guide

A sword-and-sorcery setting guide for adventures in the dangerous Dread Sea Dominions, where barbarians, monsters, warlocks, amazons, and decadent empires vie for power. The book describes the setting’s history, cultures, religions, technology, regions, and climate, with a map and adventure hooks for 28 dominions. It also provides character creation options, 30 new Edges, Hindrances, skills, three arcane backgrounds, weapons, armor, mounts, setting rules, and systems for developing characters and managing wealth between adventures. A Game Master appendix includes mood-setting guidance, relic creation rules, ready-made relics, and new creatures suitable as enemies, mounts, summons, or pets.
