From publisher blurb:
The Old Ones are gone...
Stories tell of the day when the skies fell in showers of fiery rock, when the world groaned and shifted, the great beasts of the Old Ones died in an instant, and the stars themselves changed, sending the Old Ones into a deep, eternal slumber. Humankind, now free from the cruel grasp of our former masters, now rules the world from the shining kingdoms the Other Gods left behind.
We now strive against the remaining minions of the Other Gods, their remaining cults, and a world ravaged by the energies of the Deeper Dark. Some with names like Isis, Odin, Quetzalcouatl, Bel, Hecate, Minerva, Marduk, and others will forge legends that remain through the ages.
This is your story.
Wasted Lands: The Dreaming Age is a game of swords and sorcery in a savage lost epoch, set millions of years ago. Instead of playing adventurers tied to the service of mythological deities, you play the all-too-mortal, protohuman origins of the gods of classic mythology, whose stories will inform our own ancestral memories and ancient civilizations. As you engage with your mythology (and others), you gain special powers that will lead you on the path of apotheosis.
The game is offered as a two-volume set: the Wasted Lands: The Dreaming Age Role Playing Game, which contains all the rules of play, and The Gazetteer of the Dreaming Age and Campaign Guide, which contains the setting, bestiary, and game master information.
Volume 2: The Gazetteer of the Dreaming Age and Campaign Guide includes:
A setting that evokes classic swords and sorcery with cosmic horror, which can be easily removed to play your own games in any setting you desire
Guidelines, tips, and tricks for GMs running campaign chronicles that trace the birth of gods and for players participating in a Dreaming Age game.
An extensive bestiary of the creatures that haunt the Spaces Between Spaces
An overview of the history and timeline of the Dreaming Age
A breakdown of the peoples that populate this lost epoch
