[[Otan]] is a wide and complex world of fantasy from the mind of Robyn Blaber.  [[Otan]] was originally created to be '''notes''' for a series of fantasy novels, the first which is currently underway.  Meanwhile, these notes are serving double duty, creating a repository for a fantasy role playing game of our own design.

[[Otan]] is a world of wonder and fantasy from the mind of Robyn Blaber.  It was originally created as '''notes''' for a series of fantasy novels, currently underway.  In the meantime, it is serving double duty as a repository for gaming, specifically Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.
  
Through our game, nearly two dozen people have experienced life on [[Otan]] first hand, a number we hope to grow. These players and their characters have been travelling between countries, encountering strange new creatures, and meeting the people of faraway landsWhile [[Otan]] is a great setting for low-level parties, it is a '''phenomenal''' setting for high level parties, with intrigue around every corner.

So far, nearly two dozen people have experienced life on [[Otan]] first hand, travelling between countries, sampling the food and meeting the people.  [[Otan]] is a perfectly good setting for low level parties, but rather a '''great''' setting for high level parties, with intrigue around every corner.
