Tales from Vaxus TTRPG Campaign Setting

Tales from Vaxus started out as an initiative to help maintain* and expand the worldbuilding elements found in my brother's fantasy epic Empire's Fall. Though it has since moved beyond its TTRPG roots, with several short story drafts and novel outlines being worked upon, it is my hope that the Tales from Vaxus Campaign Setting will be a space that continues to offer inspiration to the world created by my brother, with the goal that as players move about exploring the far reaches and forgotten places, that some of the stories told will make it back to the eyes and ears of the author, who may just pen a nod or two to the possible events taking place all across the world of Olum.

*Although pains were taken to present the Tales from Vaxus Campaign Setting as close to lore accuracy as possible, with some fun tidbits and story hooks thrown in, converting the concepts found in Vaxus into TTRPG content is in no way an exhaustive process. It is encouraged for players and readers alike to explore the various articles created throughout Tales from Vaxus, with the site itself set to act as a wiki/database for the author's universe.
