About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever dreamed of running an epic RPG campaign without the hassle of a Game Master? Legacy of Dragonholt makes it happen! Utilizing the innovative Oracle system, this game turns storytelling into a seamless experience for one to six players. The goal here isn't just about winning or losing, but about weaving a unique chronicle through your own decisions.

Everything starts with character creation. You won't just pick a class; you'll define your race (among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, gnomes, or catfolk), personality traits, and even your personal backstory. These details aren't just for show—they actively shape how the world reacts to you. In Dragonholt Village, life moves around you. NPCs have routines and memories; a baker might be friendlier if you've helped a relative in a previous quest, or a shop might close if you arrive too late. It is a living world that responds to your presence.

Beyond the village safety, six quest books await, leading you into deep forests and dark crypts. What makes it truly special is how time and choices interact. If you ignore a plea for help in the west to explore the east, the consequences will catch up to you. Your narrative choices and the passage of time alter the progression of quests, ensuring that every playthrough is a story only you have experienced. Get ready to dive deep into the Realms of Terrinoth, where the hero (or the villain!) is whoever you choose to be.
