Kunos is a high fantasy horror role-playing setting for Pinnacle’s Savage Worlds system. Kunos is a world filled with terrible things that lurk in dark places, a place where sword and spell meet scuttling creatures and their deranged minions. In Kunos, hope and heroes battle against nightmare forces that snuck into the world via cracks in reality.

WHAT IS A QUICKSTART?

The Kunos Quickstart is a free PDF which consists of a brief setting overview, six pregenerated characters, and a short adventure. The Quickstart is enough to start playing and have one or two sessions in the world of Kunos.

WHY KUNOS?

Kunos isn’t just a world filled with monsters. It has:

  • The Terrors, eldritch monsters that seek to ensnare or kill sentient beings
  • Themes from high fantasy epics such as the Eddas and Arthurian tales
  • Supernatural beasts like those found in Beowulf and Japan’s yōkai stories
  • Arcane magic based on color combinations, which in turn have motifs
  • Divine magic fueled by Ideals, mortal concepts that bestow powers to Idealists
  • Magical items that grow alongside the heroes, helping them become legends
  • New character options, including the ponderous stone folk, flying sprites, and more

Westlands: The Pool of Desultation

Posted on by

Welcome to The Pool of Desultation, a Menagerie Press Westlands adventure location. A magical pool is hidden in the Springwater Woods east of the ruined city of Ardust, the once great capital of the Argent Swan kingdom. The adventurers must travel to the secret pool to exhume a preserved body resting under the black waters. To do so, the party needs to locate the pool, navigate through the poisonous lilies covering the pool’s surface, and retrieve their prize.

This adventure is designed for 3 to 5 Westlands characters.

In Westlands, we’ve taken the core open-license 2D6 fantasy reference material and are adding extra content, including reworked (more dangerous!) sorcery mechanics, optional rules for simple firearms, and an expanded bestiary.

The name Westlands is a nod to the West Marches RPG campaign style, which is a much more free-form, adventure-seeking campaign where the players decide their motivations and goals, rather than being directed via the game master.

Westlands is setting-neutral, and lets you create whatever adventure you imagine. It is built on the open-license reference material for Sword of Cepheus, which is a 2D6 fantasy RPG that is rooted in earlier 2D6 science-fiction RPGs.
