Forbidden Lands Core Game
 |
Round the beggar from Varassa all sat in a ring¸
and by the campfire they sat and heard his song.
And about walkers and wolfkin and every terrible thing¸
and of his fear he sang to them all night long:
"There is something beyond the mountains¸ beyond the howls beyond the mist¸ there is something behind the veils¸ behind hearts cold as stone.
Hearken¸ something walks and whispers¸ walks and lures you in and whimpers:
Come to us¸ for this earth shall ever be ours and ours alone!"

"It's like somone took hazy childhood memories of a classic D&D game and mixed them with a dash of bleak Scandinavian darkness."
‐Tabletop Magazine
"Superbly packaged¸ Forbidden Lands is a pleasing combination of Old School nostalgia and fast¸ simple mechanics with unobtrusive narrative elements designed to bring aspects of the character into play. Its setting offers scope for the player characters to develop not just personally¸ but also in terms of their place in the world."
