Geshkara

Scope
The motivation behind building Geshkara
This is chiefly meant for RPG campaigns, predominantly 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, but also as a general creative outlet. Besides the things needed to run a game, I often add other superfluous things that are unimportant to that end.
The goal of the project
I don't usually like high fantasy, and I especially do not like rigid morality systems that have an actual mechanical impact on the world (like D&D). Most of all, I want control of it.
Geshkara's Unique Selling point
A dark and foreboding tone of taboo knowledge, a deeper sense of time, and an autistic attention to detail on certain silly things.
Theme
Genre
Genre is a Neoplatonist conspiracy theory, and I for one will not stand for it.
