A new dark fantasy solo tabletop role-playing game, Wrath of the Wyvern, has launched on Kickstarter. Set in the Umbral Highlands, players assume the role of a lone hunter battling monstrous wyverns threatening humanity’s survival.
Inspired by Scottish Celtic mythology, the game combines exploration, survival, and tactical combat. A unique Fate Card system replaces traditional dice rolls, utilizing the Fury Engine to facilitate fast-paced and strategic encounters.
Players navigate an open-world hexcrawl, making impactful decisions that shape the fate of the Highlands. The game features branching storylines and faction dynamics, enhancing replayability.
Combat plays a crucial role, employing a custom Tarot-sized card deck for managing attacks, defenses, and special abilities. Players must spend Stamina Points (SP) to execute actions while adapting to the unique behaviors of their enemies.
Survival mechanics, including hunger, exhaustion, and weather changes, enrich the exploration experience. Players will encounter legendary monsters from Scottish folklore, such as the Wulver and Kelpie, alongside the game’s primary foes: the Sons of Rivesk, ancient wyverns requiring strategic planning for multi-phase battles.
Beyond hunting wyverns, players can rebuild Crag Keep, the ruined fortress of the Skyfire Order, and recruit allies. The game also allows players to wield arcane powers and craft legendary weapons.
Backers of Wrath of the Wyvern will receive a premium package that includes a 140+ page hardcover rulebook, a massive hexcrawl map, a Wyvern Showdown battlemap, a hero miniature, and access to the Isle of Skye expansion. The campaign runs until April 3, providing 28 days for potential backers to pledge their support.
