Player Primer: Calimshan

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Calimshan! The most ancient human civilization in the Forgotten Realms. A land of wonder, magic, and wealth. People from across the world travel seeking their fortunes in Calimshan, only to meet their end in the treacherous Calim Desert. Devious pashas vie for power while the remnants of genie warlords lurk in the sands. All this and more await you in Calimshan!

This supplement contains everything a DM and players need to begin a campaign set in Calimshan including:

  • Life in Calinshan
  • Important events
  • Regions & cities
  • Factions
  • New & adapted backgrounds
  • A map of Calimshan
  • A Character Chronicle system to build characters that feel grounded in Calimshan
  • A dark "dusk" version, a light "dawn" version, and a printer-friendly version of the document

Our Character Chronicle, adapted from the Heroic Chronicle created in Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, is a system of character creation that helps players create characters with strong ties to Amn. This includes goals, secrets, and even favorite foods! Useful for any player, this system can also be used to create more fully-realized villains for your campaign. 

Once your heroes are complete, bring them to life in The Prison of Lord Jhakiz: A Player Primer Adventure! This adventure is designed to be an introduction to the region for new characters and players. It includes information on scaling up the game and plot hooks for creating an ongoing campaign! Click the image for more information, and you can buy the titles bundled together for a 20% discount here!

@MTBLack How is this different to the other oine you brought out about a year ago please?

The other at 67 pages is more than double the size of this one.

I ask because I love the lore I find in such books about the less heard of places in the world in which we play. But I only have so much cash to play with and cant afford to double up on something twice said either.

Apologies in advance if this seems or sounds overly harsh

This is intended to he a much leaner, player-facing book. The lore is truncated compared to the Calimshan Adventurer's Guide. The largest difference is half this book is the Character Chronicle, which is built to help build characters that feel meaningfully connected to Calimshan. Usable for both player characters and NPCs, it's a useful tool for a Calimshan game. That said, if you're only looking for lore and already own the Adventurer's Guide, you already know the lore in this book.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
