Modiphius and Arcanum Worlds Reveal the 5E ‘Odyssey of the Dragonlords’ Setting

Feb 22, 2019

Modiphius Entertainment has announced a partnership with a group of former Bioware lead designers and their new tabletop gaming company Arcanum Worlds. The first project for the duo will be teaming for is the impressive looking (certainly at least as far as the art is concerned) Odyssey of the Dragonlords. This will be an all new 5E OGL setting concocted by some of the greatest storytellers in the annals of CRPGs. You can get a sneak peek by checking out the free 28 page Player’s Guide PDF at DriveThruRPG and expect a Kickstarter project as early as May to fund physical core products.

About the setting:

Odyssey of the Dragonlords is an epic fantasy campaign for the fifth edition of the world’s greatest roleplaying game. The Player’s Guide is a 28-page companion booklet that will provide you with everything you need to begin your career as a prospective hero in the forgotten land of Thylea.

Inspired by ancient Greek mythology, Thylea is a brand new campaign setting—a lost continent that can be seamlessly added to any existing campaign setting.
The World of Thylea. Includes an overview of the history, factions, kingdoms, and laws of the forgotten continent. Learn about the gods, the titans, and the legendary Dragonlords.

Class Backstories. Includes guidance on the character creation process, including potential names and suggested backstories for each of the core player classes.

New Player Races. Includes rules for two new player races native to the forests and the northern steppes: the Thylean Centaur and the Thylean Satyr.

Choose Your Epic Path. Includes six epic paths for players to choose from. Epic paths provide powerful motivations for your hero, making you a central part of the story.

Note: The Odyssey of the Dragonlords campaign book has not yet been released. The expected launch date is sometime in May 2019.
