The Veins of the Earth is a module for T-Engine 4.0.1. It is inspired by d20 and Incursion by Julian Mensch.

Veins of the Earth
Developer	Zireael
Current Version	0.12.1 (05 Dec 2013)
Engine Version	1.0.5

The standalone version (T-Engine + module) can be downloaded from https://github.com/Zireael07/The-Veins-of-the-Earth/releases. The ModDB site downloads come later due to their authorization process.

The game is a playable beta.

The versioning has been recently overhauled, therefore old file names don't match the version numbers.

Contributors WANTED! Various branches contain WIP code which isn't working properly for some reason. Any help debugging it is welcome!

Just fork the repo, make your changes and then make a pull request back. There's a list of issues (bugs and ideas) available on git, too.

Remember, do NOT include anything that's not OGL (i.e. no kuo-toa or illithids).

Anything that IS OGL - for example, SRD, Incursion, or the D&D Wiki portions marked as Open Game Content - is fine.

Any contributors will be credited in the Readme.
