The Shell - A Campaign Setting


Sunday we played Rainbow World by Matt Bohnhoff, a finalist for the 200 Word supplement competition in 2016. Rainbow World is a setting creation game where you use skittles to prompt different events in the place's history. It helps you build the history of the place by invoking powerful forces and people that have shaped it. It was fun for us to have group authorship over the setting, then make characters that highlighted aspects we were excited about. We recommend you give it a shot for yourself!

You can listen to us build our setting on our episode The Shell. We built a hollow planet where lizard-folk ride sky sharks in the interior sky and moth-people live in a lanterned forest on the surface. Feel free to download this write-up of the setting and use it to play your own game in!
