December 3, 2023 by Charles Dunwoody Leave a Comment

While the setting and adventures contain much that makes The Lord of the Rings amazing, it is set at more of a scale to match the adventure Bilbo had in The Hobbit. Perfect for RPG world building.

November 5, 2023 by Charles Dunwoody Leave a Comment

YZ World Building: Dragonbane

April 8, 2023 by Charles Dunwoody Leave a Comment
