The year is 1998 -- Furbies were flying off of the shelves, and the RPG world was abuzz about the revised and expanded editions of the Nether Regionz Sword & Planet Roleplaying Game's core books. The official Nether Regionz Magazinewas the number one source of information on the game updates, and wouldn't you know it, we found a few cases of Issue #158 from March of 1998 in the back of the warehouse!
The Nether Regionz campaign setting is an homage to early 80s sword and planet franchises such as ThunderCats, Thundarr the Barbarian, and especially Filmation's Masters of the Universe. The rules contained in the magazine are 5E compatible with modifications inspired by earlier editions of D&D as well as 80s systems, such as Palladium Book's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness.
