Quintessence TTRPG

The First Campaign setting for  the  Quintessence roleplaying system!

A dark age has befallen the world. The once-mighty empires of elves and dwarves have crumbled, their towering citadels reduced to ruins and their legacies lost to dust. The cataclysmic war that followed shattered the land, leaving behind a scarred and broken realm where chaos reigns. Now, monstrous creatures stalk the wilderness, ancient magics twist the very fabric of reality, and the remnants of civilization cling to life in the shadows.

Only the dark forest endures—an endless, tangled expanse teeming with danger, mystery, and the echoes of forgotten power.

This is an age of violence and madness—a time of flapping feet, shrieking war cries, and maniacal laughter…

It is the Age of Goblins!

Welcome to the first campaign setting for the  Quintessence roleplaying game. Step into a world of wild, unpredictable adventure where you and your fellow players take on the roles of cunning, mischievous, and utterly reckless goblins. In this insane, apocalyptic fantasy landscape, survival is a daily struggle, and the world itself is an unforgiving playground of absurdity and horror.

 Scavenge through the ruins of lost civilisations, battle towering monstrosities, outwit—or outrun—terrifying foes, and seize whatever scraps of power you can. But beware! In a world where everything is bigger, stronger, and hungrier than you, even a moment’s hesitation could mean becoming someone else’s next meal.

So sharpen your rusty shivs, grab your tattered loot sack, and prepare to enter a world where madness reigns supreme. The goblins are here, and an age of high adventure begins—whether the world is ready for it or not!
