Gaés (Archived)

For a number of reasons, I'm archiving this iteration of Gaés and creating a new world on the platform for revision and subsequent development.

Gaés is a planet built for the sole purpose of being a sandbox for Fantasy Roleplaying Games that I run and expansion into the world will be based around a number of campaign settings defined below. The world is built primarily from consultation and combination of the World Builder’s Guidebook released by TSR and the Game World Generator produced by Kent David Kelly as part of his excellent Castle Oldskull line. Although designed with old school Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in mind, I highly recommend both of these books for worldbuilders who want to take part in the hobby to create spaces for play, regardless of system they play, as they frequently bring attention back to the founding principle that we are creating these worlds to be fun play spaces for our players. It’s with this philosophy, that "the rule of cool" sometimes dictates that we ignore rain shadows and tectonic plates because it'd be more fun, that Gaés is designed.
