Savage Dawn

Created by

Imagine a world of prehistoric adventure. Of primal savagery and primordial spirituality, where every day is a struggle to survive harsh lands, unforgiving weather, and merciless beasts. Tribes clash with primitive magic and stone weapons, hunters stalk prey through ancient forests and across cold plains, while shamans call upon spirits to aid their people and curse their enemies. A world of indifferent beauty, where massive trees reach towards the heavens as monsters hunt beneath their boughs, wild rivers cascade down snow capped mountains that have been since the world began, and the spirit world ebbs and flows across the boundaries of our reality beneath star-filled skies as the moon gazes balefully from above.   Imagine a world where legends are the stuff of prophecy, rather than the subject of myths.   This and more is the world of Savage Dawn, a roleplaying game of stone age adventure based on the First Edition Pathfinder rule set. Take up your spear and immerse yourself in a dark world of mysticism and savagery as you join the Kin in their struggle to find their way in unforgiving lands. The tribe is your family and life, when you are called upon to protect it how will you answer?   Will you resist the calculated blows of the Else and the nightmarish raids of the Yrzella with the strength of your arm and the power of your axe? Or will you flee to where they cannot reach?   Shall you match the brutality of the Oshek in battle, perhaps overcoming them with wits and guile? Or do you attempt to bribe them with tribute, hoping for mercy?   When beasts stalk your people from the shadows, when dark spirits carry them away into the night, will you confront them with torch in hand? Or hide behind your walls and pray that they do not return for you?   Will you sacrifice? Or will you survive?   In an age of stone, bone, and primitive magics, of primal instincts and unbridled nature, of spirits and monsters, an age of legends: Seize your fate. Forge your destiny. Shape the future. This is your time.   Welcome to the savage dawn of a new world.
