The Unified Setting for /tg/ is a project headed by a group of anons that aims to make the best campaign setting possible for /tg/. It is currently being prepared for both 3.5e and 4e Dungeons and Dragons and includes a number of /tg/'s favorite things.

Playable Races
Imported from Final Fantasy 9, the Burmecians are a race of queen-shittingly british rat people living in quite, determined desperation. There is only one city left on the planet they can call their own, and there, it always rains.
A race of Welsh Corgis that stand upright. They are anthropomorphic in the sense that they talk and act like humans, but they are not given human body proportions and still retain many of the cute mannerisms that real world welsh corgis have, much more dog than man.
The race that parodies most of the other races and the setting in general. Doobies believe that they are the master race, but they are universally despised and are considered quite ugly by the other races. They receive penalties to all their actions, but have ungodly regeneration that makes them very hard to kill.
Giant lobster farming dark elves that are split between the civilized nobles and more tribal commonfolk that resemble the Ashlanders of morrowind.
Holed up in their mighty fortresses, the dwarves mostly keep to themselves while fighting off Elephants and Carp, when they're not getting distracted by rhesus monkeys.
Occupying a few islands and the only race with access to boom jelly, the goblins make use of their ingeniuty and relatively advanced technology to become fantastic pirates.
Cutebolds, completely innocent little guys with a lot of heart.
The self-titled masters of PROGRESS! The Lizardfolk try to gather as much tech as they possibly can, though they are not that great at mimicing it.
A race of militaristic shark-wolf-raptor people that nearly conquered the world a little more than a century ago, now they try to rebuild their foreign relations through strict laws on their own people while continuing to honor their old battle-loving ways.
The Pantheon
A very rough summary of the organization of deities and associated entities so far.
- Gods
- Amaterasu – sun goddess, commonly associated with fertility, light, life, good, etc. Mother of All. Recognised by most races under various guises, including Shiva, Pelor(?), YVHV, and other mono- and poly-theistic faiths. Personality fluctuates slightly between the different myths but almost universally accepted as a creator figure. Associated with sunlight, mirrors, the colour white and wolves.
- Amani, the Vengeful Sun. A prominent god of destruction in the pantheon of most cultures native to the continent of Lindwurm. Commonly blamed for the death of the ancient Draconian race and other acts of destruction.
- Horo, Daughter of the Sun. Goddess of fertility and prosperity. Different faiths refer to the same figure as being an aspect of the sun god, or quite often as part of the Earth due to her connection with crops and the harvest. Also sometimes named the Goddess of Wolves among other things.
- Tsukiyomi – lunar figure. As above, known under many different identities depending on racial culture. More often considered female. Not as widely recognised as a separate deity, sometimes considered an aspect of the primary god figure or another deity. Depictions vary widely.
- The Darkness. Present under various names in nearly every faith, sometimes as a malevolent natural force or as a mindless beast of chaos, sometimes as a god itself with evil connotations. Usually distinct from the monotheistic images of the ruler of Hell. Starless nights and solar eclipses are often considered bad omens.
- Demi-gods
- Aspects of nature – godlike spirits present in natural objects and places such as rivers, forests, mountains and trees. May or may not manifest themselves physically as some form of creature, mythical or mundane, or in mortal form.
