Inside the workshop
A playtest page should feel like an invitation to real table work.
We are not collecting generic signups. Each cycle is meant to surface the parts of play that need the most pressure, the clearest feedback, and the fastest iteration.

Warriors of the Covenant
Test covenant adventures built for conviction under pressure.
This track is for tables that want to help tune the Bronze Age line while it is still being shaped. We are testing quest flow, table clarity, and the moments where courage, identity, and consequence have to carry the session.
- Covenant gifts, identity pressure, and moment-to-moment mechanics
- Scenario modules and encounter pacing built for live tables
- Clearer handoff between conviction, consequence, and mission flow

Legacy of the Remnant
Stress-test resistance stories where every resource has a cost.
This track is for groups willing to test the line where survival, endurance, secrecy, and witness press against each other. We are tuning risk loops, emotional intensity, and the readability of hard choices under surveillance.
- Resistance loops shaped by surveillance, scarcity, and endurance
- Encounter balance across witness, role pressure, and hidden cost
- Sharper readability for tense sessions where every choice narrows the future
