Tell Me About the Setting of Titan & Allansia

[Kheldar]

Still looking into AFF2, and I've heard great things about Titan and Allansia.

What's so special about it, why is it interesting, what makes it so enjoyable for you?

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

Well, for one thing it's extremely contrasting. There are deserts, tundra, Arctic and tropical conditions on the same continent. There's lots of history behind Titan. It's awesome.

For me is quite enjoyable because of all the FF books I read when I was younger, all that adventures in that fantastic setting similar to other epic fantasy worlds but also very different too. I would recommend you to adquire and read some of that gamebooks first.....

A few decades ago I remember playing Forest of Doom, Deathtrap Dungeon and one or two others. They were great, and I enjoyed the background to the world. But I only scratched its surface

Even if you read all 60+ gamebooks, you have still only just scratched the surface.

It is very....atmospheric. The art of Russ Nicholson, John Blanche and others really evokes a specific feeling. For example this:

I love John Blanche art. You can see his drawings and think,"yes, it´s a different world, similar to our but with strange landscapes and dominated with another rules, magic rules and so"

That's art from the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game. If that's the same artist who does pieces for AFF2, that's a massive plus.

How big is Allansia? Someone mentioned there being deserts, and snow plains - but not both on Allansia surely?

It is actually Khare from the Sorcery series! But John went on to be art director for GW and did an awful lot of art for WFRP after that.

There are maps here which show you the world and Allansia itself.

Mine!

I'm going to use AFF2 to run stuff like ad&d's The Temple of Elemental Evil

Do you think this is possible?

Yes it is possible to use Titan/Allansia to set AD&D modules theres alot of uncharted territory to place them and convert the adventures to AFF. Though if you want truly AFF Titan adventures I would recommend Graham's Sorcery Campaign based on the solo game books of the same name By Steve Jackson or Jamie Wallaces Mirador AFF to AD&D Modules.

I'm having a go at converting Irillian An old white Dwarf article/ adventure for AD&D from the 1980s based in a small city, and tweaking it to a more Titan flavour, to try with a group at some point in the future.

The Sorcery Campaign? I can see the Crown of Kings campaign on the website, but that's it

I remember Irillian, never delved into it but I remember seeing it in there

Good times

Any idea when I can expect my books parkusuk?
