Storyteller Jeran Jenks is once again bringing his unique and compelling Toxic Seas homebrew campaign setting to the masses via Kickstarter. Set in the aftermath of an environmental cataclysm, the Toxic Seas is less “post-apocalypse” and more “recovered apocalypse,” focusing on a culture shaped by generations spent separated by a dangerous toxic mist.
Offering ample material for both Dungeon Masters and curious players, this new Kickstarter nicely spotlights the real meat of the Toxic Seas, on what makes it different than the scores of other officially- and independently-produced Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition sourcebooks. In this case, that’s a much deeper dive into the hows, whens, and whys of the campaign setting.
With trade and travel restored, the dwarven kingdom of Imtaraya and Cinaedhonwei, the capital city of the elven empire, are now melting pots of different races, each remolded geographically, financially, and politically as its citizenry adapted to life above the choking clouds. The same goes for the Church of the Sacred Mist and the Balloon Corp, two very different organizations that have managed to connect a long disconnected populous in deep and meaningful ways.
