Do you want to enhance your Dungeons and Dragons* 5E experience with, new monsters, new spells, new subraces, and new sub classes? Then this Projectis your route to something special!

Welcome to The World of Kensei, a world setting and rules for Dungeons and Dragons* 5E players.

The World of Kensei is a place of great heroes and stark evil, encompassing lands of ancient myths and high peril. Brave warriors dare the ancient shrines of the old gods, now home to evil creatures. These are the lands of Tatsu, a new continent of beauty and ages-old evil. Tatsu is yours to adventure in, defend, shape, and rule.

Set sails from the realms that were forgotten, or the lands of the gray hawks, or whatever homebrew setting you might have.

The World of Kensei is a finely crafted new world-setting made for your Dungeons and Dragons 5E gaming experience based on OGL for 5E.

We also give you the soft-back introduction adventure Scroll of Wukong with approx. 80 pages.

The World of Kensei is a made-up fantasy setting. It is a mix of many stories, myths, mythologies or just made up things with a label that sound or does not sound like any geographical region's language or have similarities with something that might have existed or a mix of both.

The expected delivery date is June 2023. However, printing, layout, translation, and art might cause delays, so make sure to follow our project updates as we get closer. Also, keep in mind that more stretch goals may cause delays.

The history of Tatsu is dominated by the cyclic rise and cataclysmic destruction of provinces and kingdoms once founded by the gods. Magic and holy powers slumber in the wreckages of ancient buildings and deep jungles that once belonged to them. Every year some new wonder is rediscovered in an old temple ruin: a scroll with an ancient spell, a statue with holy powers, or a staff of immense might.

Explore the lands - Prepare for battle

For a thousand years, the ancient land Tatsu has been shrouded in darkness, war, and ancient evil. It is a land of high adventures and a certain death for those unprepared. The old grounds of the dragons rise from the wild and storming sea, with their shorelines always embraced by a thick magical fog. For over a thousand years, clan wars have torn these lands apart, and just as the waves throw themselves toward the hard rocks, so do men and women fighting the never-ending wars. Toughened by sword and spear, the warriors roam the lands hunting for prey but also to win glory and honor, fighting wild creatures and evil dragons. Between the great castles is a harsh and unforgiving wilderness and endless adventures for the brave. In the deep jungles, one can find temple ruins, once abodes of the old gods, and travelers can discover treasures hoarded by ancient dragons in the highest mountains.

War is raging with full force in the small forest province of Sekku. The Gokawani clan is under pressure from Juan allies in the north. Suddenly a giant comet can be seen in the sky. A portent of a darker future, perhaps? Or a sign of peace. No one knows, but the old Shintoka druids speak about an ancient prophecy—the 52 words of Shuan:

Let your heroes embark on a journey into the deep jungles and uncover secrets about the ancient Naga empire. Let them search for the old teachings of Wukong. If they dare…

This is the starting adventure (level 1-8) of a larger campaign, The Dragon King, planned for later Kickstarters! Don't miss out.

If you are not happy with the download-and-print sheets we will provide, if we are successful with this campaign, we will give you 25 designed physical WoK Character Sheets.

In the Rules & Settingbook, you'll find a beautiful color map of WoK, but at this level, we give you the map as a stand-alone poster!

What is a Game Master without a screen? Nothing, so we give you a little hideout from which you can plan your campaigns and launch your missions.

We give you a nice fabric ribbon to bookmark your pages!

At RiotMinds, we do not tolerate racism or discrimination of any kind. We encourage and value diversity in our products. We produce pure fantasy products, not political manifests, and we understand that sometimes that is influenced by our own culture and social context, despite being a multiethnic team. We know we cannot satisfy everyone, and even though we try to be aware of how we present things we can also do wrong or say things that might offend people from different religious, cultural, sexual, political, or other backgrounds and lifestyles. That is not our intent and if that is the case, please contact us in a polite and objective manner and suggest changes, and we will listen. Do not try to polarize or start endless flame-wars or try to twist and bend every little word that is said just to win an argument. We are here to listen, we are here to do good, but we are not here to fight. Riotminds is not bound to any political opinion, religion or any other organization. Our passion is to create fantasy worlds and for that we use our artistic freedom using sources and influences throughout the galaxy or just our own imagination.

This is a project under construction and we are open to any suggestions and/or changes that will make this a more inclusive and interesting setting.

Cost for shipping is NOT included in the pledge but will be added once you’ve decided at what level you want to pledge.

We know that shipping cost is high for some countries but unfortunately that’s out of our hands. Shipping from Sweden is expensive and RiotMinds only charge what we have to pay, and unfortunately the high cost is nothing we can change or affect.

The book's translation, editing, layout, and printing can take a bit longer than expected, and even though we aim at fast delivery, there is a risk it will take more time than planned.
