Deepwood Shadows- Rulebook

“The hand of fate is moving, and the finger points to you”

(Smith, Harris, Dickinson)

The natives of Talamhlar are just your ordinary dark age communities; farming, fishing, foraging for survival. But Talamhlar itself is anything but ordinary. Out there in the woods lurk strange and terrible creatures. Better brush up your folklore because destiny has selected you to go appease them!

Deepwood Shadows uses a narrative-driven system to tell epic sagas of regular folk caught up in mighty deeds. Simple description-based testing lets you take control of your character’s story in a way other RPGs can’t. You don’t need to be a master storyteller or improv actor, just a healthy dose of imagination. Play as a noble, artisan, warrior, beggar or seer. With rapid character creation and just a handful of rules to pick up, within minutes you’ll be absorbed in the fate of the land.

150-page hardback book containing The Woods RPG rules for players and fateweavers.
