Description
In The Road Ahead… you play as a group of young adults returning to their hometown for a summer of fun, parties and nostalgia. After one of their close friends suddenly disappears, new and old feelings stir, eventually getting them involved in the case. Through the carefree lens of an eighteen-something, uncover the truth and make sure it is the best - and probably craziest - summer of your life! In The Road Ahead..., you perform decisive actions and interactions rolls when there is uncertainty in the fiction. You add cards to your hand when your decisive actions succeed, burn them to gain momentum, and, most importantly, continually collaborate in moving the story in interesting directions. To play you will need: A standard deck of playing cards (without Jokers). A full set of polyhedral dice. This book, Emerald Grove’s map and one flowchart*. 2 to 5 friends, with one of them acting as game moderator (GM).

It includes: All rules necessary to playA character sheetA map of Emerald GroveA small helper and empty sheets “I’ve loved Wendigo Workshop’s games for a long time, and when I saw they joined the jam, I knew they’d make something unique. But I wasn’t expecting them to take a game engine crafted around alien world exploration and combat and so elegantly turn it on its head. They made it work beautifully in a setting inspired by two of my favorite media franchises: Stranger Things and Life is Strange. The whole watercolor/collage aesthetic is also super refreshing to see.” - René-Pier Deshaies, Fari RPGs This work is based on Songs and Sagas, product of Fari RPGs (https://farirpgs.com/), developed and authored by René-Pier Deshaies-Gélinas.
