Root: The Roleplaying Game transforms the cozy forest charm of the classic board game into a gritty, narrative-driven tabletop RPG where you play as vagabonds; outcast woodland creatures navigating a war-torn forest in search of survival, freedom or fame.
Using the streamlined Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) system, Root delivers quick, dynamic gameplay with a focus on story, choices and consequences rather than heavy rules. Players can pick from unique playbooks: like Ranger, Ronin or Thief, customizing their Vagabond’s skills, background and motivations.
Within the woodland you’ll traverse shifting allegiances between powerful factions, tense political intrigue, survival challenges, stealthy heists and harsh combat; all set against a backdrop of a forest at war. Reputation, faction relations, resource scarcity and choices that echo across the land ensure every session feels weighty and meaningful.
Root: The RPG is ideal for groups looking for a story-driven fantasy with moral complexity, political tension, and woodland adventure: perfect for those who appreciate dark satire, anthropomorphic characters, and narrative freedom.
