--- title: "An Introduction to Apocrypha" updated: "2017-12-23 Sat 14:21" categories: AP --- Apocrypha is a world of mystery and forgotten history, built from first principles and the realization that even simple truths have consequences. My goal with building the world of Apocrypha is to create a generic fantasy world which is both suitable for books and for use with TRPGs, and is designed somewhere on the coherency spectrum between the Forgotten Realms and Discworld. Though it is being designed to function with the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons in mind, I am also haphazardly designing a TRPG of my own which may be abandoned along the way, but draws inspiration from Apocrypha as well as breathing life back into it. Over the last 2 months, I've found that working on one usually generates ideas that are applicable to the other, and overall energy for both projects benefits from this dynamic.
