Hi all —
I’m Sutton J. Moore, creator of World of Styria, a Pathfinder Second Edition-compatible fantasy setting that grew out of tabletop campaigns I started running in the 1980s.
I’ve recently begun putting the setting into publishable form, and there are now two ways to take a look at it.
Styria Player’s Primer: Explorer Edition is a free 40-page introduction for players and GMs. It covers the basic shape of the world, peoples and ancestries, faiths, history, character backgrounds, setting rules, spells, major regions, and enough context to make a character who actually feels like they came from somewhere.

I also have The Isle Beyond the Mist, a complete 92-page Pathfinder Second Edition adventure for 3–6 players, levels 1–7. It can be run as a standalone campaign or as an introduction to Styria, and no prior knowledge of the setting is required.

One of the core ideas behind Styria is that its history was shaped at the table. Almost every major ruler, hero, villain, god, institution, and world-changing event traces back to actual campaigns and player characters.
Styria has legends. It does not have protagonists.
I’m preparing World of Styria: The Definitive Player’s Primer for crowdfunding. The world and core manuscript substantially already exist; the campaign is intended to fund commissioned human artwork, professional cartography, editing, layout, printing, and production rather than inventing the setting after funding.
The current Explorer Edition and the current edition of The Isle Beyond the Mist contain no generative-AI visual artwork. The Explorer cartography is creator-made in Wonderdraft, and the Isle uses creator-made maps and credited public-domain artwork where noted.

If anyone takes a look, I’d genuinely be interested in whether the Explorer Edition gives you enough of the world to want to make a character there, and whether the Isle looks like something you’d put in front of your group.
Thanks for taking a look.
