Royal Forest

The Royal Forest is a thin evergreen forest northwest of Nox. Despite the name, the Royal Forest is used by all the residents of Nox. Lumberjacks harvest the coniferous wood to sell in the capital. It is sold for use in constructing buildings, making furniture, or burning for warmth. In addition to the wood, the forest supports a variety of animals, but most of the larger prey have gone extinct in the forest due to over hunting.

King’s Copse

King’s Copse is a small birch and maple forest east of Nox. The forest belongs to the King of Xoria, thus hunting and wood gathering within the forest are forbidden without the permission of the king. Due to this the forest maintains a population of large animals and a dense underbrush. A community of dryads lives within the woods and enforces the king’s rule by killing trespassers.

The King’s Copse was where Queen Anajakaze was raised in secret out of Hera’s sight. The dryads brought her up and trained her to be a queen and a warrior. The forest was invaded by Queen Chrilethia of the Amazons. Anajakaze assassinated the intruding queen and took over the Amazon nation at the subsequent tournament of arms.

Seiya tells us about his TTRPG system and setting, Synesthesia Synthetica (SNS). SNS is a biopunk game adjacent to the cyberpunk and steampunk genres. After an asteroid induced climate disaster, Earth has rebuilt itself using bio-technology instead of the metal based tech that surrounds us in the real world. Genetically modified humans have split into distinct species and mutant horrors prowl the wastes outside civilization. The rich rule from their space stations up above but resistance is growing in the streets below.During the episode we discussed a piece of art that Seiya had made for the game. A picture of that bio-tank is available for you to look at.At the moment, Synesthesia Synthetica is available for free as an early access game on itch.io and DriveThruRPG.If you want to learn more or find a group to play with, you can do that on the Synesthesia Synthetica Discord.Remember to nominate your favorite TTRPG shows/creators/things for the 2026 CRIT Awards!Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
