She could never escape her father's shadow when they adventured together, but when another band of heroes in another campaign discovered a magic portal to another world, out she popped. He lived on, not just because you can start new campaigns with existing characters, but because he had a daughter.
In the final battle, he sacrificed himself to save his friends, becoming a spirit. By the end of the campaign, he'd sprouted crow's wings-a gift from a witch-become a mystical fire guardian, and grown a fox tail. They're never really gone, though-your favourites become legacy heroes who can return rejuvenated in subsequent campaigns, like pulling out your favourite old, dog-eared character sheet for yet another dungeon run.įraser Brown, Online Editor: In my first Wildermyth campaign, my party included a wee ginger magic lad with a boring backstory and a crap beard. They even age, fall in love, and have children eventually they'll retire, if they survive the adventurer's life. And they really are unexpected-while it's perfectly possible for a warrior to just find a magic sword and kill a dragon with it, it's equally likely they’ll be cursed to slowly transform into living crystal, or make a pact with an ancient tree, or upset a witch who turns their head into a raven's. With the procedural systems as your dungeon master, you follow the lives and adventures of entire parties of heroes, each organically growing and developing in all sorts of unexpected directions.
A few hours in Wildermyth is like a supercut of a fantastic year-long Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Robin Valentine, Print Editor: I don't think any videogame has ever more successfully evoked the feel of a tabletop RPG.
