Against the Wind

In the lands where the wind howls like a beast untamed, you forge your path. They say the gales here shape not just the land, but the very spirit of those who walk it. You are one of those souls, a wanderer amidst the churning skies and the earth that bites with frost.

Against the Wind is a solo/coop fantasy-adventure sandbox game in a land ravaged by fierce winds and biting cold, all infused with a subtle pinch of fairy tale ambiance. In this world, players step into the roles of magical nomad heroes, confronting the relentless climate, traversing diverse landscapes, and following their own unique paths.

The game blends traditional and modern styles of play, merging the classic elements of fantasy adventure — like wilderness exploration and dungeon delving — with contemporary, narrative-driven mechanics.

• Play solo or with your friends:no need for a GM, the game procedures guide you through your adventures.
• Create your own world:rules on how to draw your map and discover the world as you travel the lands.
• Unique characters:19 random tables to create a character unlike any other.
• Classic and modern:dungeon delving and wilderness exploration with modern, story-driven mechanics.
• All-in-one:60+ tables to create locations, challenges, features, people and more, with step-by-step guides on how to do so.
