Game Summary

Campaign setting for the Powers & Perils RPG.

"Perilous Lands is a monumental work that details an entire fantasy continent. It is intended to be used as the setting for your Powers and Perils campaign.

The books in Perilous Lands are its Map Book, a Culture Book and a Site Book. The pages of the Map Book detail the physical environment, political boundaries and population centers for the continent and its associated islands. Each of its twenty-six, four-color maps connects to those that surround it to provide a strategic maneuver area that can be easily handled in play, while still allowing journeys of epic proportions.

The Culture Book details the past history, population, armed strength, economy, personality, legal system, allies, enemies and common languages for each of more than one hundred cultures. A millennia of the land's recorded history is woven into a comprehensive, epic tapestry that brings it to life.

The Site Book completes the package. Its pages detail more than fifteen areas, with precise details and general information, that the Referee can develop into complete adventures for his world. In addition, it contains special addenda and aids that will help the Referee to use these books in play."

3 + 4Lev Lafayette. A vast improvement over the associated core rules in production quality, Perilous Lands provides a Earth-like game-world and plenty of adventuring locations.

9 / 10The23SidedDieSTILL a great setting, unfortunately out of print and tied explicitly to the aged and somewhat flawed Powers & Perils setting. Fantastic, detailed, grim.
