Shadowdark RPG: The Western Reaches Setting

Dive into the official world setting of the four-time ENNIE winning Shadowdark RPG!

The Western Reaches are an unexplored land of fragile civilizations, majestic landscapes, and forgotten horrors that lurk in the dark.

In the Reaches, you could play as:

* A painted witch from the steppes hunting for the secrets to deeper magic
* An armored knight from the City of Masks guarding frontier villages from attack
* A silent monk from the mountains searching for the assassin who killed his teacher
* A scarred pit fighter from the desert looking to make her fortune outside
the arena
* A quick-witted explorer from the jungle who can find any artifact for the right price
* A seafaring warrior from the northern isles who fights for the glory of the Old Gods

This sandbox setting is fast, elegant, and flexible in the signature
Shadowdark style. You don't have to memorize lore; you'll discover it as you go. The world moves and grows with you as you explore it.

One good thing for Aussies, they worked to drop the shipping costs. I've
backed plenty of kickstarters in the past and the shipping is often the same price as the item you've backed.

I like that. This is something every sandbox should do. Make the
encounters tell the stories and the lore, so they'll intertwine
with the stories the characters are writing.

Won't back this one, but I'm sure it'll be successful!

well, that's basically the ideal of worldbuilding as those old school
games go, isn't it?

shipping costs can be the devil. I generally won't buy something if
stuff is more expensive to ship than to buy.
