Demlin
A downloadable setting guide
Demlin is the sleek, towering, corporate heart of Svarnahelm, an autonomous metropolis filled with arcanomechanical wonders. Ruthless archons compete with one another in stone skyscrapers while mages, corrupt police officers, and amoral freelancers fight proxy wars on the city streets. Race financial sages on levitating rickshaws, sabotage pneumatic postal tubes, and ride fliplifts up to elegant penthouses. In this golden commercial hub, contracts and corporate conquerors control the city's destiny.
Demlin is a system-agnostic metropolis downtown setting developed by Borough Bound, creators of fully realized TTRPG cities. This 101-page guide provides everything you need to run hypercapitalist urban tabletop campaigns, including:
- A detailed overview of the financial district
- Deep-dives into the five megacorps that rule the district, and the bizarre archons that helm each
- Beautifully illustrated NPCs, architectural diagrams, and scenes
- Breakdowns of every point-of-interest, including five corporate HQs, the massive Rokter Tower, and the "impenetrable" Fort Hornward
- Rollable tables filled with rumors, plot hooks, gigs, and strange encounters
- Tips for mechanicalizing real estate, the pneumatic post, magical investments, and the corrupt guard force
Demlin is just one district in our massive megacity Svarnahelm, an island metropolis in which megacorporations control every facet of daily life. This particular district is an exception in Svarnahelm, a region in which gold really does make life better for the average citizen... so long as you're already rich. This is fantasy Manhattan on steroids. We’ll be gradually releasing additional districts across Svarnahelm. We’ve also released a quick free primer to get you up to speed on the city, its megacorps, districts, faiths, and more.
Of course, this guide is only part of the story! We've also created a massive 50x108 tactical map of the district, along with explorable interiors for every major point-of-interest. Plus, we released an album of bustling city music to accompany the setting. If you want even more goodies (variant maps, variant music tracks, VTT tokens, VTT integration, and more!) you can head to our Patreon.
