Join the Nightsong Living World Jam and come design a living TTRPG setting with 60+ other members of our community
Nightsong is an upcoming old-school adventure role-playing game about free blades in a plagued land.
Navigate the regions of Penumbra as an Oro, sentient bug-folk, and soar through the Voidways aboard giant flyers, explore the depths of the Undergrowth, and beseech the eight Beast-Gods for the strength to endure the encroaching shadows.
