Wolden - A Forest RPG of Wayward Cults
Play as the witches, warlocks, and wizards of The Purgis Pact, or the fey, faun, and creatures of the forest of The Cenacle of Woodwose and Inflorescants.
From Mottokrosh Machinations, the makers of Hypertellurians, comes a brand-new game that is rules-light but flavor-heavy. A single unified mechanic for challenges, interactions, exploration, and downtime lets the players concentrate on the story, the wonder, and the action, without sacrificing depth or strategy.
The titular Wolden is the heart of the forest, perhaps of all forests, recently discovered, and now protected and coveted by eight esoteric cults in an uneasy alliance. The cult leaders send their members on missions throughout the forest and beyond. They are armed with manifold gifts: their appearance, conviction, desire, and flaw traits, their wonderful powers, and of course their marvelous treasures. Rejoice in them until trauma and wounds slowly take them away.
Wolden is released as A5 zines, and issue one comes in at 48 pages, includes two cults (each with their own carousing table, leading to emergent adventures), the full rules, and is gorgeously illustrated throughout with human made art. A free, full-length adventure will soon be available digitally.
The Wolden zine is available in physical and PDF form. The physical zine comes with the PDF as standard.
