the Sonoran States

On By JeanNadiraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

This week, a little about the area that gave the game world its name: the Sonoran States.  They’re not really “states”.  They’re just a collection of villages and towns living on the raggedy edge inside North America’s hottest desert, the Sonora.  They’re self-interested bastards, ruthless and cruel.  If anyone ever manages to bring them together under a single banner, the rest of the continent will be in serious trouble.

This week I also want to shout out to some fine folks making awesome game-related content.

Dyson Logos, of Dyson’s Dodecahedron – he makes great maps and adventures.

Neal Litherland, who has two blogs:

  • Improved Initiative, a gaming related blog that addresses everything from character concepts to dungeon dressing
  • the Literary Mercenary, a blog for writers. It’s great advice for any story creating you might want to do.

and M Stephen Joy, @ http://mstephenjoy.com/  He draws maps of dungeons, towns, temples, ships – even star ships. You’ll also find the occasional cartoon or game resource like the Adventure Planner.

Check these guys out, and if you like their work consider supporting them on Patreon.

Two small posts this week.  The first is a quick overview of the different nations that have developed on the North American continent.  The second is an overview of the first of those, the West Coast States.

You can link to them here:

I hope you enjoy exploring the world of Sonora.

Have a great weekend!

History of Sonora

On By JeanNadiraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

As promised, a new world to explore.  Sonora was an RPG I developed for America OnLine’s chat rooms, based on a 2d6 system (because that’s what you could roll, in chat).  It became one of my favorite worlds, though we didn’t get to play it much.  It’s set post post-apocalypse, 1,000 years after humans were nearly wiped out.  It’s medieval in flavor, kinda swords and sorcery, but with the rare bit of broken technology to find.

You can read the full introduction here: Sonora

TL:DR version — World war, nukes, escaped virus, many dead, complete collapse of civilization.  Now humans are finally starting to emerge out of the dark ages. Welcome to Ellay!
