Welcome, curious traveler, to The Kingdoms of Mongo.

You hold in your hands a veritable golden ticket to the many diverse lands that can be found upon, above, and even within the great planet of Mongo. Whether you’re planning a tour of the world’s many advanced civilizations or contemplating an excursion to some of its most primitive wildlands, this volume is your guide to the culture, geography, technology, and denizens of each location. Herein is all the information you might need to survive beyond the safety and security of Mingo City’s thick klangstone walls and energized lightning fields.

Mongo is a strange and mysterious world where the evolutionary process has been overturned and creatures from ancient times walk alongside (or prey on) advanced peoples. At the same time, primordial forces continue to tear the geological fabric of the planet to pieces, occasionally unleashing powerful environmental destruction. Exploring this world, especially a few of its untamed corners, is not for the faint of heart!

introductionWhile some of the material contained within

is common knowledge, much of it is for Game Master’s eyes only. You are welcome to use all of the material as presented, though you are encouraged to manipulate things to better fit in with your own Flash Gordon campaign. While there have always been constants in the universe of Flash Gordon, details have frequently been altered over the years to fit the narrative.

This book focuses on nine individual kingdoms including Arboria, Coralia, Frigia, Kira, Radiuma, Sky City, Skyland, Tropica, and Valkr. Each section features that location's history, important people, creatures, new gear specific to that region, and Savage Tales—short adventure ideas you can flesh out and make your own!

Until then, pack your bags, climb aboard your rocket cycle, and take to the turbulent skies! It’s time to head out and see the world for yourself!
