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.
