What to Expect
You guide generations of a community in a remote glacial valley, with player choices permanently altering the world. Each session represents one generation within an ongoing campaign featuring exploration, crafting, and encounters with giant immortal beasts. The game emphasizes persistent consequences and allows play to continue across sessions or be passed between groups.
Who Is This Game For?
Stonesaga suits experienced hobby players and solo gamers: it supports 1–4 players and asks for commitment to a campaign-style experience. Familiarity with cooperative and legacy-style games helps but is not strictly required.
How It Works
Mechanically Stonesaga is a Cooperative Game and Legacy Game structured as a Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game. Players work together to meet society needs, resolve crises, and develop crafting knowledge by discovering combinations of materials. The design supports drop-in/drop-out play so groups can change between generations while the campaign persists.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Max Brooke & Luke Eddy. Stonesaga’s USP is its discovery-based crafting mechanic combined with legacy-style, persistent world changes across generations, blending Cooperative Game and Scenario-driven campaign play.
