It is the explicit intention of the creators of the magnificent World of Barnaynia, in which Dunromin exists, to create a complete, consistent and fun game world within which pretty much ANY Fantasy Role-Playing system or campaign can be played. Whether your inclination is High Magic, Low Magic, human-centric or as fantastical as possible, you can work it here. If your gaming system includes things like fighters, wizards, thieves and priests with statistics like strength, intelligence and dexterity, then you can work it in this game world!
The World Guide to Barnaynia – the banana-shaped world - Available Here!
Life on a Banana-shaped world is always going to be a bit different, you would think? But to most of the characters, NPCs and species the shape of the world they are trying to survive on is irrelevant. It’s got mountains, caverns, dungeons and ruins, as you might expect, but there are space adventures as well if you fancy something a bit different:
Fancy checking out a Storm Giants’ castle on an asteroid? Want to step off the edge of the world and float away into space? Want to walk on the Moon? It’s all possible on Barnaynia, although such activities are very dangerous.
This product is as much a source of inspiration to take your game thinking “out of the box” as it is a World Guide, including:
- Well over 200 pages of ideas, encounters and locations;
- NPCs and monsters, as well as details of their societies and attitudes;
- Several entirely new civilisations to confuse the players with;
- Explanations of the geology, geography, science and magic of a banana-shaped world;
- Details on astronomy, astrology and how the calendar works;
- Location descriptions for all the celestial bodies;
- Loads of adventure and campaign ideas;
And loads more!

The Games Master’s Guide to Dunromin

Designed originally in 1986 for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (AD&D) First edition the Free City of Dunromin had been redesigned for OSRIC Fantasy Role Playing Game. The main books are based on keeping the game-mechanics to the appendices as much as possible so the main book can be used in almost any campaign setting with little or no preparation. Even the appendices can be ignored or adapted by the reader to their own system, if required, very easily.
