The Sword Wastelands of Arakk

We fought them...learned about them...and for a time, masterfully hunted them...until today, when we became them.

You and your war friends rise on the endless battlefield of Arakk and see a wasteland of swords stuck in the ground mimicking a field of very old, very dangerous flowers. You remember you fell in battle a long time ago. Yet somehow... you live. An Undead warrior clinging to his heirloom. The one thing holding the memories, the past, all that was. You turn and look at your brothers and sisters, their confused and purposeless gaze. You face them holding up your heirloom and say.

"Come brothers and sisters, let us see why and by whom we've been summoned"

This two to five-player TTRPG was made for the Songs and Sagas Game Jam out of respect for the highly accessible and solo-friendly SRD from Fari RPGs (René-Pier Deshaies). As players of that game, we wanted to expand on it and add more features that bring even more foul life to this barren wasteland of swords.

Heirlooms keep your undead corruption in place and it is the one thing that is keeping you from turning into the same mindless undead you used to fight. Heirlooms also modify your character strains and with it define your role within your group. We've added six hand-drawn heirlooms and we bet you can invent more.

We've included enemies of varied difficulty and size without expanding the amounts of sheets needed to print. These tainted, dark, foul creatures should be more than enough to further expand on the Wasteland's lore and inspire you to create more.

Each Map Hex has its own pre-written story that can be played in any order as you choose where to travel on the map. We've also changed things up a bit when it comes to the map in general, giving you a clear goal where you need to go and cutting down on the number of hexes to ensure shorter game sessions.
