The Setting
High realism, low magic.
Unlike traditional systems, that lean on magic for world building, skills and abilities, Mellow Quest takes a more grounded approach to its world.
Magic & Technology
In the Mellow Quest system, overt magic takes a back seat to a more grounded narrative with tinkerers and alchemists taking the place of wizards and warlocks. Though incredible and unexplainable phenomenon do happen, the majority of this world’s inhabitants live a real-world medieval existence.
Landscape
Though many unexplored regions still exist in the world, the majority of adventures take place in The Cut, an immense, resource-rich lowland basin formed in eons past. Much of the intrigue, story and strife in Mellow Quest center around this region and her untold resources.
Cultures
Far from the classical, high-fantasy worlds of some settings, Mellow Role seeks to tackle more tangible issues. The Cut features 4 distinct cultures, all angling for control over the land, her resources and their own destinies.
Time Periods
The land of The Cut is in a state of constant flux stretching forward for hundreds of years:
Early Era: The initial, unstable formation period of this region marked by tribal peoples, ancient knowledge and lakes of fire.
Modern Era: The secondary cooling period in which geological stability is traded for cultural infighting, warfare and conquest.
Postmodern Era: The late, established period in which the forces of humanity reign supreme, to the detriment of all other inhabitants.
The Stories
Unique hooks that inspire play.
Choose from our list of story prompts with themes ranging from mystery and espionage to combat, politics and even horror.
