This setting isn't horribly different from other settings; It's set in a bit of a Tippyverse world that then experienced a thousand years without magic. When magic reawakens and the gods once more walk among us, it sends the world into chaos. Most cities are well-protected and plentiful, but outside the main kingdoms lies the Beyond, where wild-magic-twisted monsters reign and small villages use spear, wall and whatever else they can cobble together to defend themselves. The reborn Divine struggle to regain followers, and the larger kingdoms train warriors to protect civilization from the hell outside.

Welcome to the Realms of Beyond, a pen-and-paper tabletop RPG. Based on other similar systems like D&D 3.5e and 5e, Pathfinder, Shadowrun and others, this is a gritty modern fantasy game set in a world ravaged by the reawakening of magic and the return of the gods after millenia of absence. Most of the world is a hostile wilderness, known as The Beyond, filled with wild magic, twisted beasts, and other bizarre phenomena that threaten life as you know it. The few cities that survived The Awakening have become much like fortress-kingdoms, training warriors to combat the forces outside their walls and protect their citizens from both the threats of The Beyond and the other kingdoms.

Realms of Beyond has an emphasis on survival, intrigue and gritty realism over hack-and-slash gameplay; Attacks land in specific areas, critical hits are devastating, magic can go awry when you try to cast it, and even the greatest warriors can be felled by a poison, disease or curse.

Since magic has been dormant for a thousand years, many people distrust it. Smalls wars have broken out between Mundanes and Magi and even in places where those conflicts aren't, most are still suspicious of magic. People gifted with skill in magic are coveted by the Magi and often hunted down by Mundane extremist groups. Magical creatures often suffer the same fate - Protected or destroyed.

Realms Of Beyond[edit]

Realms of Beyond is a new d20 game (Effectively), introducing new mechanics and altering old ones, complete with a campaign setting.


Welcome to the Realms of Beyond, a pen-and-paper tabletop RPG. Based on other similar systems like D&D 3.5e and 5e, Pathfinder, Shadowrun and others, this is a gritty modern fantasy game set in a world ravaged by the reawakening of magic and the return of the gods after millenia of absence. Most of the world is a hostile wilderness, known as The Beyond, filled with wild magic, twisted beasts, and other bizarre phenomena that threaten life as you know it. The few cities that survived The Awakening have become much like fortress-kingdoms, training warriors to combat the forces outside their walls and protect their citizens from both the threats of The Beyond and the other kingdoms. Realms of Beyond has an emphasis on survival, intrigue and gritty realism over hack-and-slash gameplay; Attacks land in specific areas, critical hits are devastating, magic can go awry when you try to cast it, and even the greatest warriors can be felled by a poison, disease or curse.

Eventually intended to be its own game, this is where I'll be posting my things for now. Based on many campaign settings - Forgotten realms mostly, with touches of Dragonlance and Eberron thrown in - And other games, such as Shadowrun, as well as some books I've read, like the Green Rider series by Kristen Britain, or the Enchanted Forest chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede, and shows like RWBY, the Shannara Chronicles, and The Magicians.
