Hey everyone! I've released the next video on the world of Epocrion, in which I go over the creation of the world. From tectonic plates to, climates, I go over everything in fine detail. - If you'd like to see part two, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/1hxKY5v3Q9I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kerjhLuGQ1cy103e - If you'd like to see the worldbuilding notes and progress, consider going over to my Patreon @ www.patreon.com/TheMythWeaversLoom - If you want to be notified of when I'll be running two-shots in the world of Epocrion consider joining my discord @ discord.gg/zagsdomain
you needn't to incorporate this but i wanted to say - arcana borealis is a misnomer! the borealis part means of the north: irl we have aurora borealis and aurora australis. Thus aurora arcanis would be suitable once again, it's your world, your choice. Really cool, i love the brightscorched! hoping to hear more of Epocrion'Eth :D
Have a similar concept for an ongoing short campaign. Basically the characters, and continent, are within a barrier that was put in place 1000 years ago to avoid some cataclysm (involving celestials or demons). They're looking for 3 keys.
The 90s RPG Earthdawn has some Fallout-esque elements in its worldbuilding. It too is a post-apocalyptic Fantasy setting. Though its apocalypse was one of Lovecraftian alien monsters that ravaged the world while its peoples hid in underground refuges. It was a pretty good twist on some of the standard D&D tropes, and had a very rich library of lore. I think there's a 4th Ed out now, but I haven't checked it out.
Earthdawn's ideas about dungeons are the most valuable bit of that setting. Lets you get extremely wacky about it and stop worrying about WHY there's a funhouse dungeon.
Personally if i were ever in a council like that i would definitely have asked "What of the millions of innocents who had no choice but to partake in this lest they die? Do you think it fair to smite a sentient creature who was never taught how to preserve it's paradize? Is one expected to be born knowing that?"
Magitech fantasy world with low orbit spherical dwellings that have become havens from the hostile planet below and around. Gives me Final Fantasy XIII and Destiny vibes
Excellent presentation! As much as I see the Fallout inspiration I couldn't help but think of FF14's Shadowbringers, especially with the Brightscorned reminding me alot of Sin Eaters. If you look up pictures of them the resemblance is uncanny. Regardless an excellent worldbuilding concept! Would love to see more.
This is just a thought. In normal dnd lore, teflings are victimized by racism due to being related to fiends. Well, Assamar being related to celestials Get treated relatively well. But in this setting, that should be reversed, given that Angels basically cause The apocalypse and after the apocalypse happens. The roles are flipped and Assamar are the ones being victimized by racism. Being seen as nothing more than saboteurs who seek to destroy the remaining safe havens of humanity From within and are likely killed on sight or thrown behind bars as soon as they are found. Well Teflings Are treated Pretty much equally to most of the other human hybrid species like half elves or half orks after the apocalypse event. But would have an easier time gaining leadership positions due to their natural charisma. And would pretty easily become important figures in a community due to their longer lifespans. .
I've had a fantasy post apocalypse deathgrip for a while, too, but I specifically want to do something inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. Knave's inventory and magic system made me think of Artifacts. An adventuring party making a pilgrimage to the Zone to collect artifacts for wealthy buyers works WAY too well as a TTRPG adventure.
What.. you mean this isn’t a dnd campaign conceptualization? I just assumed with the world building and ideas, but yeah I suppose it could be anything as long as it takes place in the world.
Could halfbreed humans have survived the cleansing with minimus brightscorching? After many generations I would expect some of their descendants to have more human characteristics than the original survivors, although some of them would present strange magical caracteristics due to the light altering their ancestors.
My personal hunch with how it would affect The hybrids.. Most of the halfbreed Humans would have varying amounts of resistance to it. Asmar would be basically immune to most of the negative effects Being half angel and all. And It would affect teflings. more severely than normal humans Being part Fiend and all
I really like this idea, can I recommend looking into the shadowbringers arc of FFXIV? it has a similar premise and the brightscorched remind me of the sineaters. Shadowbringers is by far my favorite story from ffxiv and i think you'd like it as well.
Awesome concepts!! I don't know if it was just me, but I couldn't understand what was being said half the time in the short story 😢 but the half I got I enjoyed! The whole five years until winter was really cool to me, and the design of the... Thing talking to them ❤
Honestly, as much as this was meant to be Fallout-inspired, there is a Game System that exists that encompasses this idea almost to a tee called 'The Forbidden Lands'. I HIGHLY recommend everyone check it out, but what makes a world like this so interesting is 'Hex-Crawl' exploration. Seriously D&D and Daggerheart just won't make a world like this shine as bright as it could! 🙇🙇

Everytime I read about a fantasy story about being trapped in a barrier I think of Gothic xD
@@lexter8379
Do you mean like Gothic the game made by a German studio?
@@ODXT Yes! Its getting a remake and few years ago it got fan made game size mod,. I love the game a lot.
@@lexter8379
I learned about this game's existence recently, from a meme rap video a friend sent me. I'll have to look into it.

And it is a prequel to Shadworun ;)

Reminiscent of Dark souls, sounds exciting ❤
Duuuuuude this would go so hard as a DnD campaign
Dark sun from DnD has some good shit
Seconding. Love that setting.
Commenting for the algorithm because my GOD you make awesome and inspiring D&D content!

If they kill the planet, they will all die anyway. We have no better solution than to save what we can.
I fuck with you magic man

I'd love to have a Tabletop RPG based on this concepts! Your lore is phenomenol. I want to hear more!
Thank you c:
I'll be tailoring the world to fit the D&D 5e system since that's what I'm most familiar with!

this is great
looks super cool id love to hear or read more stories from the world
Relatable, i’ve been doing the same. Although it’s a bit after the actual event.
This is sick please make more videos about the world.
I have! The newest video is up right now c:
Awesome concepts!!

Not just you, but I have audio processing issues, I find his captions are fairly accurate though
I dig it
Is the message "Don't do anything to be killed by god"
Or "be lucky enough to be born knowing right from wrong"?
no way is this Zagreus Winters????????????? Big fan

You should work with the People that create dungeons and dragons
Ya know a song of ice and fire is actually set in a post apocalyptic world.
I love it!!
Dang this is cool :0 love celestials as villains
Post-apocalyptic fantasy? You should read the comic series Coda! I think you’ll love it
Earth Dawn? It’s fantasy fallout
Instead of darkness this time the light is a posion
Post Apocalyptic Fantasy, Ashes of Creation
this is really well done :)
not to wonder but, would you provide a map in the next vid
I released part 2 actually, over on my channel! It includes the map making process and the like.
@@ZagreusWinters my b, didnt see this was 2 weeks old :)
🤣👌
Yeah ok...
Almost ALL d&d worlds are post-apocalypse. Where do people think dungeons and ruins come from?
You’re about 30yrs late.
People that can't speak shouldn't make content
I look forward playimg in this world
Vault-Guild. Question not why should we do it, but why should we not!
