Root: The Roleplaying Game — Core Book

Root: The Roleplaying Game — Core Book. War Has Returned to the Woodland!

The Marquise de Cat led her armies to victory over many of the clearings, but the Eyrie Dynasties rise again to oppose her. Meanwhile, the mice, rabbits, and foxes of the Woodland do not sit idly by — the Woodland Alliance, a homegrown rebellion, has emerged, promising to free the Woodland from any oppressors.

In the midst of this war, you and your friends — vagabonds all — travel between the clearings, taking on jobs no one else can or will do. You choose whom you serve, if anyone. . .but everyone knows you may tip the balance of the War.
