Exile: Dark Fantasy Role-Playing

YOU ARE AN EXILE:  a teenage misfit who barely ekes by at society’s edge. You grew up in a world that cast you aside and deemed you perverse. You learned to hide or fight, never able to live free.

Tough luck. Your misfortune led you down a wicked path and now you’ve been charged with a fatal crime and sentenced to death by exile in The Below: a nightmarish underside where tarnished souls like yours are sent to rot.

Those above think they’ve ridden themselves of you, but instead you’ve resolved to escape. With only a band of fellow outcasts by your side and nothing left to mourn, you will cut across The Nightmare Lands and blaze a path back home no matter what it takes.

You shall escape, die in the attempt, or worse.

A dark fairy tale RPG of sharp blades, cutthroat kinship, and heart-wrenching gloom.

• CARD-BASED PLAY: Create your own angst-ridden exile by drawing from a combination of items, backgrounds, and ability cards. Then, bear witness to your character changing as you add, resolve, and exhaust cards from your deck.
• HEARTFELT & DEADLY: Craft memorable tales with little to no setup thanks to a unique ruleset that encourages hard choices, pushes your characters to their breaking point, and invites you to cry about your terrible decisions once the dice stop rolling.
• SHIFTING ALLIANCES: While you and the other players all need each other to escape The Below, that doesn’t mean your relationships are free of strife. By exchanging tokens and deepening your relationships, every opportunity to help each other also opens the door for disagreements, fights, and inevitable betrayal.

• 1 GM + 2-4 players
• Appropriate for both oneshots and campaigns of up to 12 sessions.
• Requires the free print-at-home kit, polyhedral dice, pencils, and tokens.
