Welcome to the Galapos Region!

Hey everyone! Thanks to everyone who watched my most recent video on Pokémon TTRPGS. I've since received a number of comments and messages asking me for more information about the Galapos Region, the original setting that I have used in my home sessions of PTA.

The setting was originally designed by me, but was brought to life with the amazing map and icons that I commissioned from the artist MobianJelly, and it has been a great playground for many of my games.

As thanks for the support. I am going to be releasing more info about the Galapos Region on here, where paying patrons can get early access before the posts go public for all a week later. The process will involve taking my GM notes and adapting them into a more formal piece of writing with accompanying illustrations. The ultimate goal will be to release a basic guidebook that can act as a module for any GMs running a Pokémon tabletop game in any system. Some of the stuff I plan to compile in this guide include:

• A detailed write up on Port Lantana, the main city that acts a central hub for the campaign, complete with shops, NPCs, and special events.

• The complete Galopian Pokédex, including tables of random encounters used for each kind of environment.

• A list of quests trainers can go on for the Galapos Research Institute.

• Layouts for the secret Galopian Ruins hidden throughout the region.

• Story hooks for different characters, organizations, and events that can act as a jumping off point for your campaign!

There are going to be a couple of challenges to this project. Aside from basic proofreading, a number of the characters and original Pokémon that I used in my home games were the product of other people's fan art or official characters from the games. As such, I would want to avoid reusing any of these creations without the permission of the original creators, which means that some of the stuff from my games might need replacing or revising. The last challenge will be taking some of the locations that were mainly drawn in notebooks or battlemaps and making them readable for a book like this.

But these are challenges that I am more than happy to take on if it means sharing this world with folks, so stay tuned for more updates about the world of Galapos in the weeks to come!

Best Wishes - Henry
