A new sword-and-sorcery campaign setting for the Savage Worlds game system!
Summoned spartoi, ready to do the bidding of the sorcerer that summoned them...
This is not a genre piece!
The Legends of Sinbad is a new sword-and-sorcery campaign set on Earth in the year 801 C.E.
Inspired by the Harryhausen Sinbad trilogy but based on real-world mythologies, histories, and legends, as well as the tales of the Arabian nights, the game is more than a Prince of Persia tale. As you can see from the map below (which is not yet complete--more cities will be added as development continues), a wide variety of cultures are represented. In this one era, you can find every RPG setting imaginable. You have the Vikings in the Norselands; feudal Europe with the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and the Carolingian Empire; wild, druidic barbarians in the Celtic Kingdoms; a classical feel with the Eastern Roman Empire; savage nomadic hordes with the Kazar Khaganate; and Arabic with the Abassid Caliphate.
And each culture brings with it its own monsters from mythology--kraken, gray dwarves, and frost giants in the Norselands; dragons and centaurs in the Carolingian Empire; trolls and ogres in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms; brownies and banshees in the Celtic kingdoms; gorgons and hydras in the Eastern Roman Empire; and djinn in the Kingdom of the Moors; just to name a few!Of course, there is a lot more to this setting than just the above. This is just a quick note to point out that this setting is not just another Arabic genre piece, but a vibrant, versatile, and unique sword-and-sorcery campaign setting!
The campaign book will be made available in Savage Worlds, and you won't need to buy the Savage Worlds book to play! This will be a complete set!
BUT THIS IS ONLY FOR THE PDF. Part of the reason we are raising these funds is to get enough to make a print run. One of our early stretch goals will be to include print copies as add-ons!
Another stretch goal will be to add a Pathfinder version of this game, so please stay tuned!

Charlemagne, ruler of the Carolingian Empire.
Though dragons are not intelligent, spellcasting, flying beasts, they are still incredibly powerful, capable of breathing fire, and the plagues of the Carolingian Empire and Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms. Knights often embark on dangerous quests to destroy them.
