Wander in Darkness

A TTRPG rules kit and MOSAIC Strict Module

The Kith live a peaceful existence, free of violence. But this wasn't always the
case. The Looming Gods once ruled over all the Hæthlands, tormenting the Kith.

With the rediscovery of the Small and Forgotten Gods, the Kith found the
courage to rise in Rebellion. That terrible war was fought throughout the land and
touched every family.

Maybe you fought in the Rebellion yourself, and still have flashbacks. Or...
perhaps... you have heard portents of the Looming Gods' return.

To playout more tense and uncertain scenarios in Wanderhome – or other

narrative tabletop roleplaying games – use this one-page rules kit. But please talk to
your table about incorporating these or other changes to the game before doing so.
