The amphibious Quorians are a race of intelligent cephalopoids. They are highly civilized and live in the great undersea city of Nrolis. Many surface humans fear the Quorians and many rumors and legends tell of Quorian Genomancers performing twisted experiments on kidnapped human subjects.  Quorians worship Ururu, the deep god who lives in the ocean depths.

Shadowfox, Pirate Queen of the Dazumi

 The leader of the Pirates of Dazumi is a mysterious masked woman known as the Shadowfox. Nothing is known of the true identity of the Shadowfox. She has a noble bearing and imperious manner. Many speculate that she is either a former or current member of the Vrildarian nobility or perhaps another city-state. Those who have met her and lived report that she wears a red mask with pointed ears and nose in the stylized shape of a fox head along with red leather armor, high-collared long black cape, elbow-length gloves, and thigh-high boots. She sits upon a throne in her secret pirate base sipping a goblet of wine. She is also a master duelist with both sword and laser pistol.

Exiled in Eris gets its own blog

I have decided to split Exiled in Eris material off into its own blog separate from the parent game.


You can check out the material for Exiled in Eris at http://exiled-in-eris.blogspot.com/


I just posted a write-up of a recent play test session with lots of illustrations!


In the coming weeks I'll be posting more write-ups plus characters, new rules, and free introductory rules.

I will keep this blog dedicated to supporting the BRP version of Swords of Cydoria and I'll keep Exiled in Eris material out of it from now on.

New Cover and an Update!

It's been a long time since I've updated this blog. I've been working on finishing the layout of the new game: Exiled in Eris, a stand-alone role-playing game set in Cydoria using a custom system of my own design.

The layout is done and I just finished the cover. Here's the planned cover, which is subject to minor changes based on feedback.

REVISED! Based on feedback from my graphic design friends, I made some changes to the title font and made the image a little more pulpy.

The book is 164 pages with an index! It's got a new intro adventure, "The Tomb of the Architect", and a completely original system. I'll probably price it "Pay What you Want" until I get the kinks ironed out.

Here are some more new illustrations from the game.

I had a productive mini-vacation and got some new illustrations done.

Almost Done! Here's the Free Introductory Rules!

I have completed principal work on the free introductory version of Exiled in Eris, the new alternative version of Swords of Cydoria. I've made many changes to the history and setting, mostly changing many names and changing some geopolitical stuff that has nothing to do with how the game is played and doesn't really affect the player characters.

So anyway, here's the free downloadable version of Exiled in Eris. It's a free taste to get you hooked when I release the PDF on Drivethru and Lulu.

The full version will include setting info, detail on the city of Acik Sehir and the local surroundings, a new adventure, GM advice, lots of creatures and opponents, and artifacts!

After that, I'll convert my previous adventures. Then I'll start working on two sourcebooks: one for Ta'Oudh and Psychomancy and one for Zephyrs and vehicle.

I welcome your review and feedback.
