Will to Power Games[edit]
The Lands of Otan[edit]
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 of which is currently underway. Meanwhile, these notes are serving double duty, creating a repository for a fantasy role-playing game of our design.
Through our game, nearly two dozen people have experienced life on Otan firsthand, a number we hope to grow. These players and their characters have been traveling between countries, encountering strange new creatures, and meeting the people of faraway lands. While Otan is a great setting for low-level parties, it is a phenomenal setting for high-level parties, with intrigue around every corner.
Welcome to the Wiki[edit]
This wiki was created both to manage the fantasy world of Otan, while sharing lore about Otan with players in our games. In the future, this site will provide an excellent resource for both players and game masters alike as they learn more about this unique setting. Official Otan rules for our game series, with complete gaming stats, will soon follow.
Of course, elements specific to other games will likely not find their way into the Otan novels, but there may be a crossover in any future published rules to make the lands of Otan compatible with other RPG systems. Our gaming system is planned to become available to the public early next year... and may involve a Kickstarter campaign.
