There is no canonical "Umdaar". Umdaar is YOURS. So we've included 95 pages of tools, tables, and generators to help inspire you and dial in the version of Umdaar which best suits your group's tastes. (And as a resource to help you quickly create NPCs, traps, adventures, and more on the fly.)

A spread of the Umdaar Region generator with advice for creating a region on the left and a set of tables on the right for creating a Freeland with different tables for Adjective, Noun, and Proper Name. Using this generator could create a result like "Gargantuan Island of Velidan"

Evil Hat@evilhat· Jun 2

To help you get your Umdaar game up and running, we include 4 sample adventures - one for each of the Regions. They average ~10 pages and offer up plot hooks, location information, obstacles and NPCs. Enough info to guide and inspire you, not so much you're hemmed into one particular ending.

A page from the sample adventures outlining the setting of Libratopolis, a Freeland city carved in a massive library and headed by the Grand Scholararch Nier. It includes a plot seed and describes the outskirts, library, gardens, research labs, and deep archives. On the right side of the page spread, Fate stats for two NPCs: Generel B3-TR4YZ0R, the righthand cyborg of the dread Blitzborg leader Rag-Nator. Plus stats for some flying Laser Drones.

And if you are looking for a dungeon crawl or ancient treasure hunt themed game, the Ruins will give you those Indiana Jones/Dragonball/Pirates of Darkwater vibes

You also unify your party of PCs under a Banner. Your banner signifies the sub-genre of planetary romance you want to play with, the style and tone of your game, the approach your Champions often take towards solving their problems, and likely where most of your adventures take place.

The Banner sheet for the Rebels, with sections for Reputation (Foolish Dreamers, Urban Legends, Shady Grifters etc) Region (The Haunted Empire, The Lazerzone, The Council of Nightmares), Core Community (The Icequake Tundra, Hekaton States, Factoryona) and Base of Operations (The Caves of Chitin, The Workshop, The Cloud-Raptor) plus options for Local Contact and Local Villain.

Creating your Champion in Umdaar is quick yet flexible: Pick one of 14 Archetypes - Artihacker, Warrior, Summoner, Princess, etc. Choose from 15 Bio-forms - Cyborg, Mutabeast, Necroid and more Fill out your Aspects, assign your skills, pick one Stunt each from your Archetype & Bioform -- BOOM! Done.

A portion of the modular character sheet included with Umdaar showing the Sharpshooter Archetype (Important skills include Shoot, Stealth, Notice) and the Mutant Bio-form (Stunts include Extra Senses and Telekinesis). The sheet is designed to be cut in half so you can mix your chosen Archetype with the Bio-form you like.
