Devabhumi is a campaign setting for 5e and Pathfinder inspired by the myths and legends of Ancient India.
This campaign setting will take you to a distant place nestled in between the sea and sky-scraping mountains. It is a land where gods and mortals live together, boons and curses change the destiny of its inhabitants, and senses are easily overpowered by the diversity of the landscape.
This setting book features:
- Devabhumi Setting Guide & Player's Guide PDFs: This project features a full-length guide to the world of Devabhumi, stocked with real-life inspired lore, and a shortened Player's Guide to introduce your players to this world.
- 8 New Races: Playable races inspired by mythical creatures of Ancient India, including Nagas, Asuras, and more! New Karma Mechanic: In Devabhumi, your actions have lasting effects and potential consequences. What goes around will inevitably come around.

I have to see if I can list the title on D&D beyond, but I definitely would! We just went live on Kickstarter fyi. If you're interested, check it out here.
Hi, there was a syntax error in the text. I've updated the post and also attached a link here. (We just went live on kickstarter btw).
Our kickstarter page has more details, but I can answer some of your questions here. Our new races include Apsaras (heavenly dancers), Half-Asuras (underworld-dwelling demons), Nagas (half-cobra, half-human), Vaanars (intelligent monkey-kin), and the last 2 are a surprise ;).
The karma mechanic will have subtle but noticeable effects that the players may not be able to place their finger on. It is a behind-the-screen system that subtlety influences events.
Dungeon delving is an aspect of this campaign setting, but we offer detailed lore allowing for interesting roleplay and exploration opportunities.
My apologies, I think there was a syntax error in the text. But our kickstarter just went live, check it out here.

Thank you! The events in the land of Devabhumi take place in the Dwapara-Yuga, where new technologies and magic are used quite often among different nations and states. The world is in a delicate balance with the emergence of these technologies, the rising ambition of various kings and queens, and the growing power of Asuras.
We have reworked equipment entirely with new weapons, properties, armor, etc.
I'd say 30% of it is system specific, with stat blocks and items. The remaining 70% is lore, worldbuilding, gods, etc.
Damn that hit close to home. On a real note, Devabhumi will not attempt to represent or caricature any real-world religious group or ethnicity. This is purely a fantasy setting and will be treated as such.
