Karilan Setting Documents

Karilan Setting Documents

Some of you might know that I have created my own kitchen sink fantasy setting to incorporate all things D&D/PF in GURPS. I decided to post it here to have a static place where I can share it.

The most recent version can be downloaded here (July 11, 2024) - LINK.

The archive contains the following documents:

Karilan Primer - an overview, guide on how to get started, occupational templates, equipment, advantages, disadvantages, skills, etc.

Lands of Karilan - world map, timeline, descriptions of nations and regions.

Languages of Karilan - an optional document for a more detailed approach to linguistics.

Powers of Karilan - everything about supernatural powers.

Power-Ups of Karilan - premade abilities that are not spells or psionic abilities.

Races of Karilan - races and cultures, including templates.

In addition, you can have GCS libraries with new equipment (August 8, 2022) - LINK.
