The Million Islands

Created by

Introduction

The Million Islands is a setting designed for tabletop roleplaying games. The focus is the Great Ring, a group of archipelagos that form a rough circle around the strange and perilous Middlesea.

In this world, story and belief shape reality. The power of collective belief creates gods, monsters, and heroes, and rules of narrative are as important as the laws of physics.

Each region has their own unique locations and cultures, and is suited to a different kind of game. This world is also a work in progress, and not all of the regions are equally well developed at this time.
