ELFMAIDS & OCTOPI ADVENTURES IN A PREHISTORIC AGE

SURVIVAL AFTER A FALLEN AEON OF BLACK MAGIC

This is compilation of articles from my blog. Like most of my books it is unedited, not for sale and
not of professional standard. Im dyslexic and editing my own work is a nightmare so I’m not
really capable of producing resolved comercial work. There are a series of 3fold flyer format
adventures to acompany this available through my Patreon page. The links for this, my backlog of
blog posts and my previous publications are available on my blog.

This setting is not a historic work it is a fictional fantasy. All the artwork is not based on current
research. The colour works are pure fantasy. Such artworks in popular media are still being used
to illustrate popular articles to this day. One sign of this is images of blue eyed white cave people
before such people exited in Europe. Cheddar man in the UK was dark skinned at a time when
white people were still uncommon in most of Europe. You can make of this what you want. This is
a fantasy game so your setting you can deal with history as you please. Im just pointing this out
because many popular sources are outright supporting racist ideas so it is good to be aware of
this when researching prehistory for your own games. Good luck, have fun and don’t be a jerk.
This book offers a sandbox hexcrawl
called the Stone Coast and tools for
you to run a short campagn.

Stone Coast area has a hex map to

explore and the adventure starts
as a small band who arive on a raft
avoiding a massive flood to the south
caused by formarian giants tearing
down a massive stone damn holding
back the ocean.

The adventurers are youths from

different tribes gathered by some
elders and have spent several years of
sacrifice to get you to the north lands
of the Ston Coast above the White
Sea. Most characters are unrelated
and their chosen skills will reflect the
technology of their home tribes.

I also allow those with high bonuses

to start with followers which might
include pets, a sibling or a lover. This
helps pad out the tribe.

The band of adventurers with a few

NPCs are a small tribe with limited
tools. They will require food, shelter,
clothing suitable for the cold of the
region. As the quest for survival
continues they will learn new survival
arts and require friends for long term
survival. The group are diverse and
tolerant of various customs which
is unusual. They also lack coherant
myths and stories of their own.

the Worm faction also was broken and
subsumed by other houses as food or

fighting. Worms were in fact the first
faction but were too delicious and
were betrayed by other factions. Bat
and Vulture kings dominated only the
last few years of the age of darkness.

Older Races
Many of these either worked with the
monster empire, or were enslaved
or hibernated or hid. Many blame
humans for the end of the first golden
age and the invention of time and
death. Which is not completely true.
Many of these factions waged war on
the gods long ago.
