Straffshire: Village of Planar Fugitives
 |
Straffshire is a gonzo¸ high fantasy setting for Labyrinth Lord and other fantasy role-playing games. In the plane-shifting village of Straffshire¸ mortals¸ fey¸ demons¸ undead¸ sapient animals¸ and other creatures from across the planes live uneasily together. The village is surrounded by a wasteland of wild magic and caught in a cold war between a demon lord and a fey deity. Powerful magic is common¸ and the village's eccentric¸ decadent wizards have transformed their community into a weird realm where the supernatural runs rampant. Straffshire is packed with larger-than-life characters and locations. There is Bear¸ the surly¸ militaristic bear paladin¸ and Jert Breeboz¸ the amphibian necromancer who just wants a friend. Within the village is the Polliwog Public House¸ a social club where bourgeois wizards hobnob and play magical table games¸ and the Dunman Library¸ a decrepit¸ subterranean archive operated by an angry elemental and haunted by a ghostly warlord. Beyond the village are the Planar Wastes¸ an ever-changing landscape wracked by magical storms and filled with gates to other worlds. Straffshire and its environs could be the springboard for many adventures¸ or the basis for an entire campaign.
