Noir Fantasy for D&D 5E
Back in January of 2020, I began work on a Fantasy-Noir 5E campaign book, to serve as my final submission for my Games Design and Production course at Salford University.
By the time it was submitted, Altus: A City Alone was 160 pages long, and featured a fully fleshed out campaign within a unique fantasy world, and received a first class grading.
Today, Altus is over 190 pages and growing, the core written content is close to complete, I am currently commissioning illustrations to fill the book and flesh out the world, seen on this page.
Altus is currently on track to be published later this year.

"Months became years, and years became decades. But no one ever arrived."
"These streets aren't safe anymore, gangs roam the alleyways and stalk unsuspecting citizens.
Altus, a city known for its innovations has found itself separated from the rest of the world for some time, but as the influence from the outside world has disappeared, forces within the city have grown bolder.
Floundering to keep the peace, the Royal Bureau attempts to quell the rising tensions between the towering skyscrapers and overcrowded slums. But with a city rife with corruption and greed, law enforcement can only go so far.
You are a citizen of Altus, a person just trying to make your way in life. However, in a city like Altus, it's never that simple."
