The warrior slowly becoming a tree who fell in love with a fire mage.
Now I've got enough stories to fill a library.
She led her new friends to victory, made a name for herself, and started a family of her own.īuilding these legacies and families is really what Wildermyth is all about, taking the tabletop RPG joy of inhabiting a character and nurturing them, and then extending it to multiple parties and generations. She embraced the fire even more thoroughly than her old man, until the flames swallowed up all her limbs. 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. Instead, the game revels in using a bunch of narrative blocks for deep and engaging character storytelling and rivals - and, at times, overshadows - the scripted storytelling present in most other titles.Robin Valentine, Print Editor: I don't think any videogame has ever more successfully evoked the feel of a tabletop RPG. Most people would assume that procedurally generated stories wouldn't work at all, but that isn't even remotely the case with Wildermyth.
