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
A karma mechanic
6 new races
20+ backgrounds and feats
And much more!

You can sign up for the Kickstarter here.

We are going live in 3 days!

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.
