Metropolis has some nightmare ramps.
A retro future deathrace here would be great.

Super dense cities of tomorrow

 So i have been looking at vintage armoured cars and thinking my Cthulhu players now used a converted truck to massacre cultists with a vickers and a lewis gun and grenades that sorta worked. Will never beat a wizard on a byakee with bundles of dynamite

This is a bit more modern but some brutalism and tech noir good too

This is for those falling apart old industrial districts. Full of scrapped out factories and lonely old wizards making androids

Totally want more vehicle chases now I have a good pile of images. This car would be the evil car in a jazz age death race 

 This guy shoots down planes and transforms

Loving the foxy box looks here am reminded of the Tesla utility truck plus stealth fighter

Hexes Up For Grabs

Help design some Hexes for Exilon 
Using my piles of exilon tables or your own psueudo bronze age mesopotaimian age fantasy know how submit a claim to a hex. Feel free to share this. 

Just fill out one of these below forms and feel free to add extra content if you wish with it.
Feel free to recycle or re purpose some old thing. Word doc or rtf handiest for me to compile extra material. Drawings or maps cool too.

Let me know what name you want on it or to be anonymous.

Each large hex is 33 miles or 53 km wide
Each small hex is 11 miles or 18 km - three across = large hex

msg me stuff to:

Might end up in a poorly made free book like my other published stuff
Sample form here HERE!!!

Exilon is a bronze age predeluvian fantasy civilization based loosley on Mesopotaimia. Plus lots of Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Moorcock inspired content. Stone age barbarians from the wastes hate wizards for using magic of the enemies of humanity.

Barbarians dislike big city cult gods that have grown into empire gods that enthrall humanity. The worst thing about civilisation are the thieves and liars and cowardly oathbreakers who are the first to slaughter when you take their cities.

The world has had many great disasters and non human empires in ancient times. Non humans and evil necromancers ruled for thousands of years. Human civilization has begun to out do that empire and any other single race on the planet. There are ruins and best left forgotten things in dungeons left everywhere in the region.

The region was always thick with snake worship but after great wars finished the monster kings, the people adopted kinder more human serpentine gods. The Hydra is on the green banner of the city of Sakasis. Ancient snake cults and ruins are everywhere. Fish folk and lizard folk, bat folk and dragon folk all left their demon cursed ruins.

Exilon Play Area

Exilon in the Elder Aeon Era
So this will be main game area
Area of cities allied against various empires around them
Down river 30 miles a day easily more in stormy season
There is a village every 20 miles on river or green areas
More like 50 miles per village in beige wastes
Sea 100-200 miles per day with good wind

Reptilian League
Turquoise - Metropolis of the Lizard king
Lapis - City ruled by ancient blue Dragon clan
Dragon Spire - Home of the dragon templar cult
Shadelport - Decayed slaver city of monster empire, semi abandoned
Remnants of Serpents empire are in north islands but in decay
Lizard Kings are civilized lizard folk with some draconic cults inland
Dragon Templars serve mostly sleeping dragons bringing them food and wealth

Necromancer Citadels
Lichspire - Home of the lich king
Fleshspire - Flesh wizards of Xor
Doomtemple - Home of the death templar cult
Death Templars are religious underworld cultists
Necromancer Kings are necromancer wizard strongholds

Free City League
Ikathon - City of the Sea Lords, former colony of the fish folk
Stormhome - City of sky gods, settled by barbarians now civilized
Sunhome - City of the sun god and his kin, the first human kings came from here
Kassus - Great city of the goddesses and amazons
Sakasis - City of the good snake gods, once snake city now free

Tyranian League
Petty former barbarians but still rough with no major cities, gloomy ever fighting undead and lizards and each other. On off allies. Do have good parties and gladiator events are common.

Belloron Empire
Belleron - The great city of astrologers and their conqueror god of law.

Assura Empire
Bloodthirsty cruel empire but still better than the old non human empires.
Greatest seige warfare power.

Sythron Wastes
Barbarians but enhanced with civilized tech including chariots, waggons and horse riding archers. No permanent cities but kings have huge mobile population centres that grow and shrink seasonally. Nobles have more civilized trappings and trade more. Other barbarians think them corrupt by stink of civilization.

Barbarian Wastes
Savages sworn to destroy civilization, metal use, building, literacy, magic, wizards, religion, monsters, undead. Nomads who who assemble under great Khans to invade other lands. Mostly they fight undead, dragons and faerie who are seen as worse than civilization. They destroy walls, wells, crucify craftsmen, burn books and smash monuments. They worship tribal ancestors who liberated humanity from monster rule. Beastmen and orc tribes are common in area and all fight each other.

Arcane Empire
Elemental Wizard states founded by great emperor long ago.
Founded modern magic, literacy and military tactics especially mass archery.

Faerie Wilds
Sylvan forests growing constantly as awakening elves.
Their slave buffer races encroach on the world.

Language
Many including ancient and monsters languages have written script, spoken and hieroglyphic/pictographic languages. Script is better for business but the pictorial sacred language is common on monuments and holy texts. Hieroglyphs are very stylised in each culture bur recognisable to scholars and even illiterate people might guess what a glyph means.

S spoken, W written, H for heiroglyphic

A good scholar/priest might know:
Modern Common S W
Ancient S W H
Reptilian H
Draconic H
Elvish S W

Next
I will scale in on the Free City League next with more towns marked.
There are plenty of enemies from outside. Dangerous cults dedicated to pre human monster cults within such as snakemen and fishmen. Lots of ruins everywhere. The area tolerates demihumans and there are allied beastmen tribes often serving kings as mercenaries. The good snake and fish gods are increasingly being humanised in art. Their children are more human again.

Empires And Alliances

Exilon world notes in development

Analogues to Bronze Age:Hittites, Mycenian, Phonecian, Minoan, Greek, Sythian, Elamite, Ururatu, Eutruscan, Egypt, Sumerian states, Akkad, Indus, Mesomerica

Various non human groups too like old monster kingdoms and undead

Ruins In the Wastes of the Eldritch Aeons

Scattered across the great wastes of the Eldritch Aeon are many ruins. Many are in high places from before the seas disappeared which helped destroy the ancient empires of the fish men and the amphibians and the empires that depended on sea travel. As the monster empires shrank and lost their grip on power the human barbarian hordes finished them off. Necromancers had a go for a thousand years but barbarians came and finished them off too. The current age restored the sun fully and released the gods. Many surviving horrors went underground and still lash out at humanity from their dank caverns. Barbarians are suspicious still of the civilised city states and watch them for signs of curruption.

New Setting in the Works

This has been in the works since the 80s. I'm inspired a bit by:
-Review I read for element masters RPG in 80s Dragon
-Clark Ashton Smith and Brian Lumley lost worlds and wizards
-My dnd setting ancient history (pre flood) time travel might happen
-some heavy metal covers (zebra girl one if you remember)

Will accompany my Xor, Psychon and Shadelport settings

No name yet but something like Kalax or Kargon  or Lost Age
(thinking of something like KODAK - short easily remembered meaningless word)

My current Shadelport setting will be the modern era 5000 years later
This setting is in the distant past in a new era of freedom
12 generations after the fall of the Necromancer kings
80 generations before that the world was ruled by the monster empire
There are still enclaves of necromancers and monster kings
Mighty wizards rule some areas from great towers
Elemental priest kings rule walled city states from mighty ziggurats
Barbarian hordes saved the world from the monster and necromancer kings
Barbarians see civilization, wizards and priests as despicable, decadent and weak
Barbarian tribes are kin to abhumans descended from beasts, trees and elements
Demihumans mostly hid for aeons but are now claiming wilderness areas
The world is mostly a wasteland, elves and nature spirits are repairing it
The seas were kept at bay by ancient magic which might one day fail
Great ruined monuments and forts built by wizardry remain
Elemental and beast symbols are commonplace
Symbols of death and demons are universally despised as evil
Dragons have taken over some cities
Bronze age with steel a secret of ancients or meteoric rarity
Stone is common with barbarians and crude cold iron is rare and thought of as magic

Barbarian Tribes are descended from Abhumans possibly created by the monster empire breeding experiments. Their own myths deny this possibility. Many have skin colours and patterns not found in civilised peoples. In a sense barbarian are abhumans but human looking. They regard their beastmen and abhuman kin as sacred ancestors, some by magic even revert to their ancient forms. Barbarian tribes with no connections to beast or elements are common also but looked down on as too close to civilised humans by the other tribes.

Elemental Tribes
Fire or Sun Tribes have red orange and yellow skin, hair and eyes
Water or Sea Tribe have green or deep blue  skin, hair and eyes
Air or Sky Tribe have white or cyan skin, hair and eyes
Earth or Rock Tribe have brown or green skin, hair and eyes

Other Tribes
Zebra Tribe have black and white striped fur and white hair
-horse tribe are often chestnut, sand coloured or piebald
Tiger Tribe have orange fur with black stripes and orange hair
-lion, cheetah, panther, jaguar, lynx, leopard and sabretooth
Lizard tribe have scaled skin and various colour schemes, some are kin to dinosaurs
Deer, Goat and Cattle tribes have various fur colours
Wolf, dog and jackal tribes have various fur colours
Bird Tribe have feathers instead of hair

Even if they look human barbarians are all abhumans and shun normal humans and character classes. Wizards are for killing and all barbarians hate them. Priests are not much better. Druids are fine but barbarian druids will have several levels of abhuman first.

Most humans will come from the city states each worshipping a single city god, some great cities will acknowledge other gods or have a triad, especially if they have absorbed smaller cities. Some cities are allied in loose trade configurations and acknowledge each others gods as kin. Soon a leader will arise to found a new empire and create the first pantheon to unite several cities. That's something that can happen in game. Siege weapons are forgotten so walls mostly keep out barbarians who don't have patience for a siege. Barbarians rely on surprise mostly. Dwarves and the monster empire do have siege warfare.

Dragonlords are cities where a dragon has taken over. In some cases the dragons might also support a elemental cult if it suits their needs. Some cities have fallen to evil cults and worship demons, devils, evil elemental lords and evil gods. Some cities pretend to be outwardly elemental but keep interests in necromancy or evil in secret.

In the frozen north from the city state river valleys there are necromancer kings in mountain forts who require corpses and souls for their black magic.

In isolated places remains of monster king surviving since their empire but now they are no longer united and fight amongst each other. They are often served by abhumans and evil barbarian tribes akin to the monster kings beast types.

Every decade a barbarian horde is assembles often unified with several tribes will assault a city state or necromancer king fort or a monster king fort. At least once a century barbarians take a city. Often the barbarians are assimilated and become one with their subjects and turn on the barbarian kin. There are usually the more human looking barbarians. The more non human looking barbarians are more likely to destroy the city and might enslave the people or kill them all. Those who keep civilised slaves often dilute their bloodlines and become more human.

A human barbarian might tolerate a priest or wizard for a time to kill more wizards and might lose their hatred of magic over time or at least tolerate some.

The elemental gods vary. In some places they will be great elemental nobles. In other places they have become more human and have come to resemble humans more. In some places taken by barbarians in the past beast lords are erected as gods and these too become humanised. Roughly the city state gods resemble Egyptian and Babylonian gods (but are mostly superficially). Priest of the humanoid gods destroy undead and the end of necromancy spread their human-centric religion ever since. Some elemental cults regard human looking gods as heretics.

Wizards are mostly elementalists in cities. Necromancers are hated and have harmed the reputations of all wizards. Summoners are also unpopular for dealing with demons and devils and are associated with monster kings. All wizardry and necromancy was learned from the monster empire or dragons at the end of the monster empire. Necromancers went on to replace the monster empire using legions of undead.

Civilised warriors use more armour and rely on finesse and missile weapons and chariots more than barbarians. Only a few barbarian tribes ride mounts. Cities use chariots and some don't even have wheels. All use pack animals and plough beasts.

Nomads are a new phenomena. Coming from fallen cities they have domestic beasts and some civilised arts like wheels. They are not like barbarians, wearing more clothes and using better technology but many are becoming more wild by generations. Nomads are tough and mostly move to void conflict. Occasionally they conquers a city and are assimilated to civilization.

Demihumans are rivals but did ally with humans against the Monster Kings and just Avoided the Necromancer kings. Dwarves live under mountains, gnomes under hills and elves in forests. Forests are expanding under the care of elves and spirit folk. Some spirit folk are infiltrating humans to guide their civilization thy have hope for.

Necromancers are hiding on the most extreme cold and desert regions where the living struggle. Monster kings hold pocket empires in ancient jungles and some forts in deserts. Deserts and tundra keep civilization and many barbarians away. Occasionally a barbarian horde risk it and exterminate them. Necromancer and monster kings only dream of returning power but this is the dawn of the age of Man. Many great wastelands will be flooded at the end of this age when ancient spells keeping back the oceans break.

Dinosaurs and Pleistocene animals are commonplace but in some areas near civilization have been exterminated or tamed. Some cities have dinosaur headed gods or sacred beasts. Dinosaur barbarian tribes are pretty intimidating.

The old gods from before the monster empire are distant and forgotten, the links to heaven shattered by evil who also over ran the underworld. When this age ends the new gods will flood the world and establish the ninefold alignment path and restructure the multiverse.

Alignment might be simpler in this setting with no alignment language. Law and Chaos are only just developing cults. Good and evil are more abstract. Neutrality is more common encompassing nature, beast or primal element cults. Dragonlords are neutral even if the dragons have more precise language.

Common is the slave tongue of old
Each barbarian tribe speaks a beast or elemental tongue
Skelos is the necromancer lord tongue
Each of the four elements has a language
Ancient is the monster empire language

Climate and Terrain
Most of the moist and forest lands are higher altitude. Most of the wastes and deserts are former seabeds cleared by the monster kings with black magic.

A-Z City Key

I have done this treatment for several dungeon types and rural villages. I considered doing one per district type but my pen and paper notes showed too much repeating so one will do. Point is to use key to populate dungeons or areas rapidly with generic room types and variations. Might do a Psychon one and other dungeon zones some time. A cave one might be good.
