Minecraft meets Dungeons & Dragons in a card-based, world-building, pen and paper tabletop role-playing game.

With paper, pencil, and dice, Lone Wilderlands contains everything else you’ll need for open-ended fantasy adventure in the paths outside the story line of the Defenders game novels.

Guide a character from the book or one of your own. and the list of allies, enemies, and places visited will grow, prompting new stories and twists. Cards and dice drive the obstacles and adventures as would a gamemaster. Change the course of cultures and settlements as you explore the wilds and upgrade characters.

But don't feel left out, gamemasters. Lone Wilderlands is also a no-prep, impromptu, world-building and story-generating engine, and it's adaptable to other RPG systems.

Origins. Playing the Sherlock Holmes mystery board game 221B Baker Street as a kid fascinated me. The writers compressed a whole mystery into a 3x5 card! I wondered if the same thing could be done to an adventure module for a fantasy RPG. It turns out that yes, yes it can, and here is a stack for your adventuring pleasure!

Defenders Unplotted includes:

9 cards to generate adventures and locations in the Serenity Plain

5 cards to do the same in the Dimgrove Forest

1 map of the Defended Realms

1 Lone Wilderlands Adventure Manual, the full game instructions for Lone Wilderlands: the solo sandbox RPG in a cardbox. This game is the inspiration for the Defenders game novels.
