The world is vast and brimming with dangers. Only rumors and bleak death loom beyond the crop fields and gates of the burrow city. It is the Dusk lands, where Lil-beasts roam at the edge of ancient forests, and foreboding Raka-wings break the skyline and darken the mud. At the horizon, beyond the rivers and mountain tops, the Gray Giants and their glyph-covered monoliths stand as stark contrast to the waning light.

You are Hessi - the Burrow people. They who lived when the world fell. You survived thanks to Hessi-Rah – the Great leader – the ancestral beacon that brought you all to safety below the fires. They made the first Burrow city – the home of the people. Be it segregation, nepotism, or hierarchical oppression from the mighty elite in the governing body, the Strata, you still live a fair life in the outskirts of the city. You build your own community, through worn knuckles and hard-earned sweat.

However, the Dusk lands impose. Beasts close in, and many of you mare-dream of pending doom. Ramblers scry, in drunken rituals, of the maiming death — of a home no more. The decay of the burrow city, and the eternal dark that ensues when life’s frail embers have died out. Unless you, those who can foresee the disaster, gather. Gather and leave all you know behind, venturing out on a trail through the apocalypse, in search of a new burrow. A home beyond the dusk.

Welcome to partake in the survival of a people. The roleplaying game “Scape – the way home” is a journey for 3-5 players. The rules engine promotes narrative “Roll-n-tell” mechanics – from skill, gear och assistance you create a dice pool; then roll and push your outcome; resulting in a tale told together of what came to be. You lead your group of survivors through an apocalyptic fantasy world, in search for your new home. A home not everyone will live to see…

Scape is created by the RPG-writer of Mercy of the Icons (Coriolis), and the trilogy Out of Time (Tales from the Loop), and co-designer or editor of the RPGs Vaesen, Things from the Flood, Aliens, and the Tales from the Loop Boardgame.

Groups providing their own Game master will be guaranteed play, and also receive a WIP copy of the game Scape, along with a dice set to play more beyond Gothcon.
