Scorched Basin

ETA: 2026-06-26

Scorched Basin is a Mad Max/Dune-inspired desert TTRPG setting, and quite possibly the best TTRPG book ever created. Here's why.

There are over 100 of the top TTRPG YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok influencers having voiced NPCs within the book (scannable QR codes linking to audio voicovers for game players to enjoy and find inspiration from). Also, all mechanics are easily convertible for any system and designed to be fully modular. So, whether your customers play D&D 5e/2024, Daggerheart, Shadowdark, Mork Borg, Call of Cthulhu, Orbital Blues, Cypher, or any other TTRPG, this adrenaline-fueled campaign setting is for them.

As players attempt to survive the hostile terrains and brutal weather, they will encounter the savage tribes of the basin. The Scorched Basin's tenuous political web is one misstep away from an all-out resource war… will players reignite historical conflict by breaking the Harmony Accords, or will they choose peace by unifying the tribes?

This sweltering land is jammed full of everything one might need for a campaign. Equally, if GMs already have an established world/setting, the Scorched Basin is the perfect pocket of exploration they can insert into those worlds allowing their players to delve into a new, wild-style of adventure.

Here are more reasons Scorched Basin is one of the most unique TTRPG books ever created:

3 New Fantasy Languages: Each language comes with an alphabet and all the tools needed to utilize them in your games (including typeable fonts). One of the new languages is based on American Sign Language (ASL) and is a fun way to spread Deaf awareness and accessibility.

Another language is based on International Morse Code. In recent years, Morse Code has been adopted by those who have had their communication impaired by a stroke, heart attack, paralysis, etc. This custom language aims to further expand people’s abilities to implement communication accessibility.
