Hi, my name is Khan and I am the person behind Devabhumi. I am of Indian origin, and I have always been interested in non-European rpg settings. There is such a treasure trove of untapped stories, monsters, and legends in Indian Culture, which can provide fresh and unique content for your campaigns.

Devabhumi is a high fantasy TTRPG setting inspired by the history and epics of Ancient India. This setting features:

100+ pages of lore
8 new races
20+ historical weapons and armor
25 monsters inspired by Indian folklore

And much more!

Hi, there was a syntax error in the text. I've updated the post and also attached a link here. (We just went live on kickstarter btw).

Our kickstarter page has more details, but I can answer some of your questions here. Our new races include Apsaras (heavenly dancers), Half-Asuras (underworld-dwelling demons), Nagas (half-cobra, half-human), Vaanars (intelligent monkey-kin), and the last 2 are a surprise ;).

The karma mechanic will have subtle but noticeable effects that the players may not be able to place their finger on. It is a behind-the-screen system that subtlety influences events.

Dungeon delving is an aspect of this campaign setting, but we offer detailed lore allowing for interesting roleplay and exploration opportunities.

Ooh, the idea of a South Asian Loxodon is cool!

Thank you! The events in the land of Devabhumi take place in the Dwapara-Yuga, where new technologies and magic are used quite often among different nations and states. The world is in a delicate balance with the emergence of these technologies, the rising ambition of various kings and queens, and the growing power of Asuras.

We have reworked equipment entirely with new weapons, properties, armor, etc.

I'd say 30% of it is system specific, with stat blocks and items. The remaining 70% is lore, worldbuilding, gods, etc.

Damn that hit close to home. On a real note, Devabhumi will not attempt to represent or caricature any real-world religious group or ethnicity. This is purely a fantasy setting and will be treated as such.

Here is a collection of 50 free battlemaps for the holidays.

These maps represent hundreds of hours of work which I am able to do thanks to every single one of my supporters. I never thought that I would be able to support myself by making maps and I am extremely grateful for all of this!!

If you enjoy my work then please consider supporting me on Patreon. Supporters will get access to all of my watermark-free maps, gridded variants, and other map variations in a VTT-friendly file format.

If you want to see the entirety of maps I've ever made, check out my map archive.

Enjoy your holidays and I hope these maps serve useful in your games!
