For 300 years, the dreadful Blood Mist covered the lands. Anybody caught away from home died a terrible death. Now, the Blood Mist has lifted, and so adventurers everywhere are venturing out to discover the long lost secrets of the Forbidden Lands.

In this low fantasy world, written by acclaimed fantasy writer Erik Granström, you can be an elf, dwarf, halfling, half-elf, orc, human, goblin or wolfkin! Explore the lands, find adventure sites, solve puzzles, slay monsters and possibly get your own Stronghold!

The rule-system is the award winning Year Zero engine, which is easier to learn than Dungeons and Dragons, and caters to every playstyle. If you want to play a fantasy game that is just as much about exploring the lands, surviving in the wilds, making friends with powerful NPCs, and crafting powerful items as it is about winning combats, this is the game for you!

This is a sandbox style roleplaying game. That means that the players decide where their characters will start, and where to go and explore. There are adventures and plots, but players decide in which order to explore them, not the Game Master.

Character creation is much faster than in DnD. In DnD, it takes a new player about an hour, if not more, to create a new character. In Forbidden Lands, it takes closer to 15-20 minutes, because the rule-system is fast and easy to learn. Thus, if a learner joins after week 4 or even later, we can build a character together quickly and then jump straight in, as the game system is easy to learn.
