What to Expect
You play a GM-less hybrid RPG/board game exploring open-world adventure modules while building a detailed character with race, origin, secrets and class specializations. Choices in character creation and during play change story and combat outcomes. Modules can be played in any order to form a bespoke campaign. Tactical combat uses dice and grid movement alongside narrative paragraph choices.
Who Is This Game For?
For experienced gamers and RPG fans aged 14+ who enjoy long, narrative campaigns and miniatures. The game supports solo play (1 player) and cooperative sessions for up to 5 players. With a 270-minute duration, it suits players willing to commit to extended sessions.
How It Works
Players create unique characters using a player's handbook, selecting origins, secrets and class advancements. The game combines Cooperative Game play with Dice Rolling, Grid Movement and Scenario/Campaign mechanics. Narrative Choice / Paragraph elements drive story branches, while Variable Player Powers provide distinct roles. Combat is tactical on a square grid with miniatures and opponents that react to player actions.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Ernest Kiedrowicz and Krzysztof Piskorski, Lands of Evershade blends RPG character depth with boardgame mechanics like Storytelling and Campaign Games. The product emphasizes high-quality miniatures and AI-generated illustrations (per family tags) and offers modular scenarios that form a larger campaign.
