FFG: ‘Realms of Terrinoth’ Now Available For Genesys RPG
The first campaign setting book is now available for FFG’s Genesys RPG. ‘Realms of Terrinoth’ is your guide to the Fantasy Setting where games like Runewars and Descent take place. Get ready for an Adventure in the fantastical Terrinoth!
Realms of Terrinoth, a new sourcebook for the Genesys Roleplaying System is now available from your local retailer or digitally through Drivethrurpg.com and rpgnow.com.
Realms of Terrinoth is a book meant to spark your imagination as a Game Master running a game in the fantasy setting of Mennara. Realms of Terrinoth includes a full history of the land of Mennara, with an overview of its various regions and a breakdown of the enthralling NPCs that can be found there. Even beyond the rich fantasy trappings, you can look for new mechanics like Heroic Abilities and a slew of new talents, weapons, and more. These new mechanics stem from the world of Terrinoth, but they can be expanded to any fantasy setting that you imagine. Use Realms of Terrinoth to run a campaign in the world of Mennara, or as a source of inspiration for your own setting. With Genesys, the choice is always yours.
My first introduction to this setting was actually Descent. That particular game is very much a ‘dungeon crawler’ in a box. There are scenarios, challenges, enemies, and a narrative that take you through the adventures – it’s a great intro for folks who want to have a lighter-RPG experience. As I was playing the game, I couldn’t help but wonder about the lands we were adventuring in. There was definitely more to the story of this world that was presented in those dungeon delves.
For me, Runewars expanded on this setting next. It took the same type of heroes and expanded the forces around them out. We had the might armies of Terrinoth facing off and it just made the world larger. Questions were answered, blanks were filled in, but more things were left unsaid – until now.
With the Realms of Terrinoth Fantasy Campaign Setting now available, we’ll finally get a better look at the world of Mennara. We will learn of the different Rune magic and how heroes can utilize that for their own means. And we’ll finally get a better look at the history of the world and hopefully those dots will all get connected in my head!
Aside from the lore – there will also be a ton of new rules for players of the Genesys system. The magic system introduced in the book is just one facet of the rules you’ll find. New Heroic Abilities and Talents are also in this book to help round out your characters. And don’t forget all the sweet new loot there will be to track down!
The Hardback copy of this book does appear to be sold out directly from FFG. However, it should be arriving at your FLGS if it’s not there already. You can also pick up digital versions from Drivethrurpg.com and rpgnow.com. So steel yourself for Adventure – if you’re up for saving the world that is…
Realms of Terrinoth $49.95
Terrinoth is a land of forgotten greatness and lost legacies. Once ruled by the Elder Kings who called upon mighty magics to perform great deeds and work marvels, the land has suffered greatly at the hands of its three great foes; the undead armies of Waiqar the Betrayer, the demon-possessed hordes of the bloodthirsty Uthuk Y’llan, and the terrifying dragons of the Molten Heath. Many of its great cities have been cast down into ruins, and many wondrous secrets and powerful artifacts have been lost.
For hundreds of years, Terrinoth slipped into gloom and decay. But heroes arise just when their lands need them the most. Courageous adventurers brave the ruins of past ages and the foul creatures within to uncover the treasures of their ancestors. The Daqan Barons, inheritors of the ancient kingdoms, rebuild their walls and muster their armies, while the wizards of Greyhaven gather runes of power to awaken guardians of stone and steel. All this is just in time, for the ancient enemies of the lawful races are stirring again, and Terrinoth needs champions of courage and cunning to stand against the rising darkness.
