About the game:

The Lord of the Rings meets The Muppets in this lighthearted fantasy tabletop roleplaying game!

Land of Eem is a game about adventurers exploring and discovering the remnants of a forgotten, better age. Players portray lore-seeking travelers, fortune-seeking pioneers and adventure-seeking heroes in a time devoid of them.

But for all its post-apocalyptic doom and gloom, Land of Eem is a lighthearted game with a sense of humor.  Set in the world of our two fantasy series Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo and Dungeoneer Adventures, the game combines Lord of the Rings high fantasy epicness with a heavy dose of Muppets-like whimsy and a dash of Mad Max dystopia.

We’re launching the Core Rulebook (approx. 200 pages), a Bestiary (approx. 180 pages), and the first Land of Eem Sandbox Campaign Setting: The Mucklands (approx. 400 pages), a realm of 6 unique regions filled to the brim with locations, NPCs, and quests. At the highest reward tiers, all three 8.5″ x 11″ hardcover books are packaged in a box set, complete with a 22″ x 22″ foldout Mucklands map gameboard.

Land of Eem emphasizes player creativity and collaborative storytelling, with character abilities that allow players to invent and shape the world around them. The game is more about roleplaying, teamwork, exploration, and finding lost treasures, than it is about always fighting monsters–though that’s definitely part of the game!
