Osprey Games: "Welcome to Jackals, a roleplaying game set in the Ancient Near East-inspired fantasy setting of Kalypsis. Jackals and Kalypsis draw their inspirations from our own history as well the epic poems and books of old. Gilgamesh, the Iliad, the Baal Cycle, and the Old Testament are the wells we went to when designing the world and the system. Here you will find a Bronze Age world struggling to raise itself out of a near global collapse at the end of an age.
One hundred and fifty years ago, the great kingdom of Barak Barad, ruled by the monstrous beastfolk known as the Takan, fell to a slave rebellion which shattered its hold on the region known as the Zaharets, or the Land of Risings. The Luathi, those slaves who rebelled, have taken the coastal area as their own. This enabled the human cultures to re-establish communication, trade, and dominion of the region. Yet the Takan have not given up their claim to the Land of Risings. The flame of civilisation which humanity is desperately trying to rekindle draws the notice of other, older, darker forces."
