This is a ‘getting excited about running a game’ post. Forbidden Lands is the game I would like to run next. There is currently no room in the Thursday night schedule, so I have decided to run this every three weeks or so on Sundays, 11 to 4ish. If I keep to this cadence then there’ll be a small contribution per person for the inevitable pizzas and snacks.
Welcome to Forbidden Lands. In this tabletop roleplaying game, you are not heroes sent on missions dictated by others – instead, you are raiders and rogues bent on making your own mark on a cursed world. You will wander the wild lands, discover lost tombs, fight monsters, and, if you live long enough, build your own stronghold to defend. During your adventures, you will uncover the secrets of dark powers lurking in the shadows and, in the end, you can be the ones to decide the fate of the Forbidden Lands.
This fantasy adventure game uses the simple Fria Ligan system as found in Coriolis, Mutant Year Zero and Tales from the Loop. Hex map exploration in a post apocalypse land, brutal combat, magic and stronghold building.
The big box set lands imminently. The PDFs tell me this is an excellent if deadly game, with a super premise and delicious looking gameplay. Lots of adventure material means that I get to bring it to the table quickly.
I’m aiming to start in the latter part of December.
Yes, I am excited.
