ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Winter has passed, and the world is waking.
The ground softens beneath your feet. New growth pushes through the soil. The air smells of rain, flowers, and change. Across the land, communities gather to celebrate Tillsoil, a festival of planting, renewal, and small joys. You are travelers on the road to one such gathering.
Along the way, you may find muddy paths, swollen rivers, and places long hidden beneath winter’s snow. You may meet others journeying for their own reasons—some hopeful, some uncertain. Old things may resurface. New things may begin. Whether you reach the festival, lose your way, or choose a different path entirely, the journey is yours to shape. Spring has come.
What will you carry forward?
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Wanderhome is a pastoral fantasy role-playing game about traveling animal-folk, the world they inhabit, and the way the seasons change. It is a game filled with grassy fields, mossy shrines, herds of chubby bumblebees, opossums in sundresses, salamanders with suspenders, starry night skies, and the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine.
Wanderhome is built on the Belonging Outside Belonging engine by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum. That means there’s no dice, no math, no Game Masters, and no complicated rules. It’s all about getting you into game as smoothly as possible and filling your imagination with richly developed worlds and evocative text.
