Game of Throhs
is the official Pokémon Tabletop United guidebook for creating and running fantasy campaigns
or introducing fantasy elements into any sort of PTU Campaign. Not every fantasy campaign will benefit from
using all of the content of this book, but GMs are recommended to pick and choose elements they like to create
their own campaign world. Treat the book as a toolkit.
Chapter 1
outlines a wide variety of fantasy sub-genres and how they can be used with Pokémon. There’s a very
large difference between a campaign about Poké Vikings and their travels and a modern era campaign about a
hidden school for Psychics, and their assumptions on a setting as a whole. You’ll also find expanded details about
topics that often get back seated in normal PTU games, such as the nature of supernatural powers and how Types
metaphysically work. Also included will be details on how to implement Pokémon capture, storage, and treat-
ment in settings with lower tech levels.
Chapter 2
is dedicated to gear and equipment. In particular, this Chapter discusses how to go about creating items
that have magical properties. It also includes advice on how to manage these items for GMs.
Chapter 3
introduces a slew of Fantasy themed Trainer options, including the Berserker, Rune Master, Weapon
Specialist, and Elementalist Classes.
Chapter 4
contains sample settings and campaign ideas to help GMs get started. Each campaign concept comes
with a detailed setting description, several plot-hooks, and in some cases, optional rules for use in that campaign.

So you wanna run a fantasy campaign?
By now you’ve likely looked over the core book, and maybe

and you feel you’re ready to take on a game that’s more than just your modern day travel through a Re-
gion, collecting Badges and defeating a Team. You’ve decided your next game will visit another time in history,
or an ancient mythology, a completely alien, fantasy world, or maybe just Hogwarts for Pokémon Trainers in a
world where Trainer society is completely hidden from the masses sounds really rad to you. Either way, you got
a few questions you have to get answers for before we really get to the meat and potatoes.

and the two do not interact with each other in great de-

popularizing the genre with his

Fantasy has a lot of variations and flavors and we’ll try
to discuss as many as we can in this chapter. The divide
between high and low fantasy is the broadest of these
flavors, and is very similar to the divide between hard
and soft sci-fi.
