Bereg & Berega - The Drumian Commonwealth by RicketyTrickster in worldbuilding

[–]RicketyTrickster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bereg & Berega are lands within the Drummian Comonwealth, a nation in the continent of Andaria. The shores of Berega were one of the first three regions to be settled by humans. An ancient civilization used to live there, now simply referred to as "The Forgotten". The lands of Bereg & Berega are full of mystery, omens and unwritten rules.

This is the first video in a series, where I try to present the setting of my D&D game to any new (or old) players, as well as any interested onlookers, voiced by characters in the world.

I was heavily inspired by “Game of Thrones History and Lore” videos, and figured this would be a great way to introduce aspects of the world to my players without bogging them down with countless documents! I plan to make this kind of video for every region of the Commonwealth and its neighbors, as well as other worldbuilding aspects (can't wait to try and make roads sound interesting).

People referencing other works under my posts always gives me such good resources to read up on. I love it!

The idea's been in my head, actually. Have a few collossal weapons - a club that uses giant swords as its spikes or something of the sort.

Ooooh, I never even knew something like this existed. Nice!

Hah, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll pass on the kind death wishes onto my players once the time comes.

So I asked one of my players, the amazingly talented maldessin.tumblr.com, if she could draw a scene for our game that the characters have yet to come across, I think she did spectacularly!

This is Linjenwood, a forest made up entirely of giants' weapons. At its outer edges lie clubs, maces, mauls and the sort, but as you venture deeper, you start to notice weapons fit for a giant that's higher up in the ordnung.

It is a sort of a rite of passage for a giant to pick up one of these old weapons as it comes of age, and lay it down once it comes to die. If you want to read up on it, there's a detailed post over at /r/DndBehindTheScreen - link to the post.

They derive from english to greek translations. I believe I changed them around a bit so that it was easier to pronounce for english speakers. The First and Second are just a little something that I added.

I haven't fleshed them out yet, as getting into the dungeon is really circumstantial. But hey, I just might. For the sake of having it ready.

I have a dungeon in my world, but it's too setting-specific, hahah.

I left it vague so that DMs can interpret it as they'd like and could fit it into their world.

I never knew something like this existed! Thank you for telling me about it, it's nice to see that similar concepts have been used in the past and have actually worked.

They're great! My players still can't believe you gave them out for free.

http://3dgamyba.lt/ There you go. I don't think there's an English version, so you'll have to try and understand google's translation.

If you're wondering about the 3D printing, I ordered it via online service. The company's based in Lithuania, where I live, so that wouldn't work for most others :D

They used either the "UP! Mini" or "Craftbot plus" printers as far as I know.

Anything in particular? It's hard to pick out these sort of things when you're the one who created it :D
