THE WORLD OF RIORDANVERSE
Rick Riordan is a fantastic writer that has built a mythical world filled with gods and monsters.
Within which many events have taken place, events that mirrored the major events that happened
in the United States too. A few major events that is worth noting of that may come to help you,
the DM build your world with the closest resemblance to canon.

First Demigod Civil War

During the American Civil War of 1861-1865, to many children of Ares and Athena were
assumed to have fought in, another Civil War has erupted in Camp Half-Blood in 1864. Fought
in the woods of Camp Half-Blood, on one side thought to represent the Unions, the Greeks, were
fighting against the Romans, who were thought to represent the Confederates. Due to this war
that lasted three days that caused immense amount of demigod
death, the gods decided to separate the demigods to the two sides of
the country, the Greeks, who was assumed to have won, stayed in
Camp Half-Blood, whereas the Romans, were moved to the west
coast of the country, California, formed their own Camp Jupiter.

World War II

The infamous war of the world from 1939-1945, fought between

the children of Zeus and children of Poseidon on the side of the
Allies, against children of Hades on the side of Nazi Germany,
ended after the United States of America bombed Nagasaki and
Hiroshima. It is after this that the Pact of the Big Three is formed.
The pact of the Big Three is assumed to be only a Greek oath
between the Big Three gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, seeing
that their children are too powerful, that it would be too dangerous,
and so the oath is taken to prevent more disasters and wars like
World War II, also taken to prevent offspring powerful enough to overthrow them. Mainly the
pact is taken to avoid The First Great Prophecy that a child of Big Three would overthrow or
preserve the gods.

Second Titan War
The Second Titan War as prophesized in the First Great Prophecy, officially started on
December 21st of 2007 at the rise of Mount Orthys on Mount Tamalpais in San Francisco, where
the battle between Artemis and the Greek heroes against Atlas with his band of monsters and
army happened. Many more battles happened during the duration, such as the Battle of the
Labyrinth, Siege of Atlantis, and Battle against Typhon happened. It officially ended on August
18th of 2009 with the Battle of Manhattan and the Battle of Mount Orthys. Resulting in Olympian
victory through the help of Greek demigods defending Mount Olympus, and the Roman
demigods attacking Mount Orthys. With the end of the Second Titan War, the First Great
Prophecy is fulfilled, the gods now need to recognize every child they have, Camp Half-Blood
will now start housing the demigods of minor deities, and that the peaceful Titans would be
freed. Casualty on Camp Half-Blood side is 16 demigods, and hundred of demigods in Kronos’
army were killed.

Second Giant War

The Second Giant War as foretold in the Second Great Prophecy, Prophecy of the Seven, started
with the Great Stirring that happened during the Second Titan War, which caused Gaea and the
giants to wake at presumably the end of the Second Titan War in 2009. The events of the Second
Giant War include the freeing Hera, releasing Thanatos, Finding the Athena Parthenos, and
closing the Doors of Death, and the Final Battle against the Giants in Greece. The Second
Demigod Civil War happened with Camp Jupiter launching an attack against Camp Half-Blood.
The Second Titan War resolved on August 1st, 2010, the Feast of Spes, where Gaea fully
awakened, but got dispersed by the demigods. With the return of the Athena Parthenos, and the
defeat of Gaea and her giants, Olympians won, and the camps are now united once again.

General Setting

The general setting of Riordanverse takes place around modern times, mainly focused in the
United States of America. Whilst there are a lot of locations that can be noted down, only the few
important ones will be noted down.

Long Island, NY Camp Half-Blood

Empire State Building, NY (600th Floor) Mount Olympus
Los Angeles, CA The Underworld
Mount Talampais, CA Mount Orthys
Brooklyn, NY Brooklyn House, 21st Nome
Near San Francisco, CA Camp Jupiter
Union Station, Indianapolis, IN Waystation

Most adventurers would be able to utilize the camps and nomes as their base of operations, but if
the DM wishes, an adventure of pre-camp life can be had.

The Mist

A reminder whilst building the campaign would be to remember the existence of the Mist, a
natural magical cloaking force that prevents mortals from seeing the whole truth, and tricking
their brains into seeing what they want to see. Also, a source of magic, where powerful gods of
magic have control over, as exampled by Hecate, goddess of magic, manipulator of the Mist. The
Mist, seems to also be the upper most layer of the Duat.

Currency
D&D uses the currency system with the gold pieces and silver pieces, however, it is rather hard
to keep everything in line once real-life currency is involve. A very quick and easy rule that I
would use would be to keep gold and silver, as the drachmas, and turn copper pieces into dollars,
from there on, you can exchange them up and down like usual, buying and selling as usual as
well.

Norse Demigods
Being Instead of a Greek or Roman demigod, you can always opt for the option that comes from
up north. The downside would be the lack of subrace options, that is due to the lack of material
provided from Magnus Chase, being only a trilogy, it did not manage to cover all the powers of
the demigods, as it mainly focused on the einherjar as well.

action to polymorph into a humanoid of Small or Medium size, or back
into your true form. It must be a creature you have seen. Your statistics
are not changed by this transformation, and any equipment you are
wearing or carrying isn't transformed. If you die while polymorphed, you

only use this ability once, you regain the ability to do so after a long rest.

Races that can also be used from Player’s Handbook

Human: This is probably going to be the most common race to be played
besides demigods. It may put you at a disadvantage, being simply a mortal in the world of gods
and monsters. However, it is usually through this race, that you’ll get access to becoming an
Egyptian Magician through being human. It would be interesting to roleplay as a mortal with
clear sight going on mission with powerful demigods as well.
Dwarf: Most likely to be correlated with the Norse mythology, the Norse
Dwarf would be a subrace providing the following traits:
Ability Score Improvements: Your Strength Score Increases by 1.
Superior Darkvision: Your darkvision has a radius of 120 feet.
Sunlight Sensitivity: You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom
(Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or

You regain the ability to cast the spell after finishing a long rest. You do not
need to provide the material components for this spell.
Elf: Most likely to be correlated with the Norse
mythology, the High Elf sub race resembles most like
the elves as seen in Magnus Chase. Whereas Wood Elf
can be re-flavored to be Satyrs
Other races do not really fit within Riordanverse.

Classes
Warlock (Magician Variant)
I’ve decided to use Warlock for the Egyptian Magicians, as it makes the most sense, channeling
the power from gods and such. The only change I will make to the Warlock class itself would be
the starting inventory. Your Khopesh and Magician’s Staff act as your arcane focus. You cannot
have equipment of animal product, as it influences your ability to cast spells. Variant rule that
your DM may or may not want to reinforce would be that only humans can be Magicians, to
balance things out
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your
background:
• (a) a Magician’s Staff (Quarterstaff stats) or (b) a Khopesh (Scimitar stats)
• (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) a dungeoneer’s pack
• Magician’s Wand, any simple weapon, a component pouch, and two daggers
The new equipment has the following stats:
Name Cost Damage/AC Weight Properties
Magician’s Staff - 1d6 bludgeoning 4 lb. Versatile
Khopesh - 1d6 slashing 3 lb. Finesse, Light
Magician’s Wand - +1 to AC 1 lb. Using a reaction, you can reduce the
damage that you would take from a
spell by 1d8 plus your Charisma
modifier.

Classes that can also be used from Player’s Handbook
The main idea of choosing the classes would be to choose with the idea of trying to be as close to
the book as possible, so don’t go picking fire spells if you’re a child of Poseidon that decided to
be a sorcerer. Equipment granted by the class, DM should adjust them accordingly for better fits.
Barbarian: They can typically be found in Valhalla; however, a lot of Greek campers would
become Barbarians as well, particularly the Ares kids, and less could be found in Camp Jupiter
and the Egyptian Nomes.
Bard: A class that are usually picked up by children of Apollo, and Satyrs, but with a good
backstory and flavoring, most any race can pick up this class.
Cleric: Usually only picked up by children of Apollo, you may pick up the Cleric class to play
another version of Egyptian Magicians, or possibly a very devoted camper to their gods that
grant them power other than their own. One may also pick this class up with backstory similar to
“being a mortal with clear sight that happens to be a Legacy of Asclepius” or something along
the lines of that.
Druid: Highly advice against picking this, as it draws more from the Celtic
mythological feel rather than the other mythologies. However, like everything
else, with enough explanation and flavoring, you could possibly make this into a
rune magic user that’s a child of Loki.
Fighter: Easily one of the most fitting class to pick from the Player’s Handbook,
as Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter is most equipped and is teaching and
training the demigods into this class.
Monk: Like the Druid, this class is advised against being picked as it takes more
from the Chinese and Japanese culture than from the
mythologies covered, however, it is still possible to make sense
of this class with a great amount of flavoring.
Paladin: Being more inspired by the English knights, this
class would feel slightly off in the world of Riordanverse, but I
can see it played by a Combat Magician that perhaps follow the
Path of Sekhmet? Covering both the combat aspect of things
and the healing side of Sekhmet.
Ranger: For those who wants to play as a Huntress of Artemis, this class
should pretty much be a perfect fit. The weapons however need to be changed
to silvered.
Rogue: This class would fit moderately well into Riordanverse, as it is a
generally flavorless class that is not too setting dependent.
Sorcerer: This class is where most the power is going to come from in terms
of inherent demigod power, you may have to adjust accordingly, and find
other archetypes not provided by the Player’s Handbook, but this is where

28
most of your demigod elemental control is going to come from. Multiclassing into this would be
where you develop your powers.
Wizard: This class can be used in various ways, be it you being a child of Hecate studying
deeper into magic, or an elf dipping into rune magic, most thing magic would be accessed
through this class.
Backgrounds
Our heroes come from different walks of life, and this is what makes them
interesting, and makes them who they are today, which would shape their future.
That’s why backgrounds are important. These are how the backgrounds
provided in the Player’s Handbook can be adapted into the demigod setting.
Acolyte: Spent studying religion and worshipping a god or a pantheon of gods,
Acolytes in the modern world could be from a highly religious household, or a
kid studying in highly religious schools, perhaps could even be found in New
Rome, helping out with the temples. It is however, less likely to be found in
Camp Half-Blood, as they mainly focus on the combat aspect, and the further
they will get to would be Greek Mythology classes, to which would be under
study of history.
Charlatan: They can be found basically anywhere, be it the conniving kid that
had to develop a silver tongue to survive in the harsh high school of the west, or
the tricksters who just like having fun fooling around toying with other people.
Criminal: It is unlikely that their ways would last long in any community, but
they still exist, growing up in a criminal environment, many can easily fall into
joining them, however, they are not all bad, as they are most likely the ones who are able to
sneak contrabands into camp.
Entertainer: They are most likely found hogging the spotlight during the campfire singalong, or
playing their flute through the woods trying to serenade and seduce the dryads, entertainers
thrive best when performing.
Folk Hero: Grew up in camp possibly? Already going on quests early in their years and
winning the hearts of the campers around them, or possibly making them bitter with envy? Or
perhaps you live on the streets, and fought against monsters that threaten the others’ lives,
stepping in against all odds, you won, and in the process also won the hearts of the poor, for
protecting and helping them out. These are folk heroes.
Guild Artisan: They are most likely found in the modern world working for a company instead
of a guild, also likely to be found in New Rome, part of a possible craftsman guild.
Hermit: This option would most probably be used for an older demigod, that chose to recluse
from not just society, but even his or her community, to go on a spiritual journey of self-
discovery. They would probably have more knowledge of the wars that happened, depending on
the timeframe where your DM wish to interject you in.

29
Noble: Rather than born of noble blood, those with this background would
be born to one of the families among the 1% that holds the wealth of the
country. Possibly even having influence within the camps due to their wealth.
Outlander: Outlanders are no longer as commonly found, the modern
version of them would be the hunters, while not being completely isolated
from the cities, they possess far more wilderness survival skills than average
people. Hunters of Artemis who had been alive for a long time should fall
into this background as well.
Sage: Probably children of Athena and Trivia, pouring over pages of lore,
reading up on anything that may prove to be useful, or a researcher, possibly
even a history teacher.
Sailor: Less likely to be found in the modern days, their modern
counterparts would most probably be fishermen, or part of the crew of a transport ship.
Soldier: Possibly a modern soldier that has served their time in military,
however, this background, most fitting in Riordanverse would be found in
Camp Jupiter, as their campers mostly follow rankings and military
training, thus, most in Camp Jupiter could have the soldier background.
Urchin: Living alone on the streets, haunted and pursued by blasting
monsters, this is how a lot of demigods end up after running away or
losing their family to monsters or rather ‘unfortunate accidents’ as the
mortals would call it. Most with this background is hardened from the
time traveling on the streets, as the others who could not get through it
would have already died to the cold, starvation, or the teeth and claws of
the monsters.

Monsters of Riordanverse
The monster in D&D is mainly European based, which is fortunate, as it includes the popular
Greek mythological monsters. However, you may find that you have monsters that you want to
use but cannot find, but that’s alright, because you just need to find one that’s somewhat fitting,
and re-flavor it for it to fit the campaign setting better. Say, you need stat blocks for empousai,
but you can’t find any for them online, what were they closest resembled to? Vampires, as they
were the initial inspiration to the modern-day vampire. However, vampires in D&D are
incredibly powerful, so, instead of choosing a full vampire as a substitute for an empousa, you
can choose a vampire spawn instead, as they resemble closer in terms of difficulty, to empousai.
The DM that ran the early alpha version of this setting for me used an ancient dragon stat block
for Ouranos, the primordial, which shows that, with a little bit of a stretch and a whole lot more
flavoring, you can find most stat blocks you need. However, if you are ever completely at a loss,
you can always modify the monsters, or write a complete new one, as this is your game, and you
may run it best fitting for your group. One thing to keep in mind is that monsters in D&D are
made to fight the races and characters of D&D, not these overpowered-semi-class races of
demigods, so do remember to buff your monsters. One other thing would be that this is set in the
modern days, plenty of your players might want to use guns, so, to make the guns not as lethal,
follow the books, where the monsters are resistant to non-magical, and non-magical metal
weapons, which will let them realize why the demigods usually don’t use guns, as it is very
costly to use celestial bronze as bullets.

Last Bow

There will be more coming, look out for the important dates like this, Winter Solstice, Summer
Solstice, the sorts, I plan to be dropping more of these to really fill the universe up, more variety
of races for you all to try out. If you have any feedback, please, kindly send a message my way
through Facebook, suggestions, play experience, what you needed to do to readjust. Here I’ll
sign off, once again, this whole thing wouldn’t have been possible without Rick Riordan’s
amazing awe-inspiring writing, nor would it have been so pretty looking without the art of
Michael Tompsett for the cover and Viktoria Ridzel, also known as Viria, for all her amazing art
that I sort of took without their permission, well, I tried to get in contact with Viria, but yea.
Anyways, hopefully you’ll have a nice experience playing with this homebrew package!

PS: I made the demigods race instead of classes

because they don’t choose to be a demigod, they
just are. Besides, you can be a demigod and decide
to further your sword fighting skill without having to
worry about it taking up at the very least one level of
your level 20 cap. So yeah, just including this post script
so that others who doesn’t may understand why I made
this decision.
