Ehdrigohr is a Fate Core based tabletop role-playing game where you get to play a character struggling to survive in this recovering world. It is a fantasy game of high heroics, myth and culture, powerful magic, and survival horror. The tides of darkness are overwhelming but this is not meant to be a game of nihilism. It is about hope. Your characters are the mythic heroes who do impossible things that push back the tide.\u00a0\"Ehdrigohr<\/a><\/p>\n

There are multitudes of paths to greatness.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A warrior, imbued with mystic martial arts who fights on The Line.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A storyteller who keeps the peoples’ spirits up and empowers their hearts to fight another day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A wandering peacekeeper that ferrets out the infiltrators and hatemongers who work to break the nations.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A reality weaving Way-walker who travels the wild places seeking the breaches where the creatures trapped in the Twain have broken through the pale into the world.<\/p>\n

Culturally, Ehdrigohr is a non-traditional fantasy world. Rather than fantasy seen through a Euro-Medieval lens, Ehdrigohr is instead crafted to take inspiration from the myth and folklore of tribal, and indigenous, cultures from around the world.<\/p>\n

Though it is a human-centric world, each of the cultures of Ehdrigohr promises to have its own flavor steeped in magic. These are not \u201cprimitive\u201d cultures but nations that have chosen their own interesting paths and traditions in their effort to survive the ravenous hordes that come in the night. Though it presents a different flavor of fantasy, there is a point of entry for many styles of play. There is high adventure, political intrigue, delving, social plays, secret societies, monster bashing, monster fleeing, and so on.<\/p>\n

Mechanically, Ehdrigohr relies on the Fate Core system to deliver most of its fun. The mechanics have been tailored to the ideals of the setting, though you can still expand on it with ideas from other FATE-based games out there in the market. More about the FATE system can be found at www.faterpg.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a fun game and an interesting world to explore Ehdrigohr is also a game of allegories. It examines our relationships with each other and the powerful force that is depression and how it whittles away at us, sending terrible thoughts that come when we are in dark places, bring us shivers, and cause us to fade. We hope to inspire people to hold strong in the darkness and fight your way through to a new light.<\/p>\n
