This section should provide tips and tricks for running a game in the world of Tarisia. In particular, it may have important mechanics or roleplaying aspects of the world to remember, but will also have tables for generating random encounters, building side quests, and generating treasure.

For now, it’s random notes that should be organized under an outline.

NOTES

  • Don’t forget about the weather! Most people sleep during the hottest part of the day.
  • Supplies are so important. It’s why they are tied to loot and treasure. Water is more valuable than gold.
  • The world is brutal. The animals and monsters are brutal. It’s supposed to be brutal. Even the remote parts are brutal.
  • Outsiders should be treated as such.
  • The Gods are dead, or absent. That doesn’t mean there aren’t cults to worship them.
  • The City-state are mostly frenemies. Some are at war, others trade, they all conceal a dagger behind their back.
  • No slavery. Leave that to that other world. Also, who needs it when a powerful enough Psion can literally make you want to do what they want. That’s far more nefarious.
