Before kingdoms, before steel, before history itself… there was only fire and stone.
Fire & Stone is a Paleolithic RPG setting zine that transports your adventures to a strange and mythic Stone Age. Created by Elodie of Weird Blue Yonder, it presents a world inspired by real prehistory, animistic beliefs, and the unsettling mysteries of a landscape that feels both ancient and dreamlike.
Across blazing plains, towering white stone pillars, and deep creeping caverns, your characters will face a world filled with primal danger and strange spirits lurking just beyond the edge of understanding. It’s a setting where survival, ritual, and myth are inseparable—and where the wilderness feels vast, mysterious, and alive.
Designed with compatibility for Knave by Ben Milton, Fire & Stone easily fits into most Old-School style RPGs. Inside, you’ll find tools to transform your adventurers into Stone Age survivors, complete with evocative backgrounds, cultures, and equipment suited to a harsher world.
Within these primal pages you’ll discover ten character backgrounds, three unique Stone Age cultures, and more than twenty random tables to help build characters, gear, and adventures. The zine also includes setting inspiration, plot hooks, and striking artwork that captures the raw, strange beauty of a prehistoric world.
It’s a toolkit for running adventures in a time when humanity was small, the wilderness was endless, and every shadow might hide a spirit.
