Early Feedback

Hear what our alpha testers have to say about their experiences in the Gloaming Wild:

  • My primary goal as DM is to facilitate immersive cooperative storytelling experiences. The Gloaming Wild system helps me create nuanced situations that force hard choices and result in lasting consequences for both the characters and their world. This system helps me create a game in which every choice matters. One challenge turns to many as the characters face the fallout of their actions.
  • Playing a Lycanthrope in Orzovia was a thrilling and terrifying experience. I could tell that I was a huge threat to friend and foe alike. This added a palpable tension to my campaign experience that was very interesting.
  • The chance of being infected with lycanthropy or cursed with undeath elevates the intensity of every combat. Players in my group were leaning over the table, holding their breath to see the results of each saving throw.
  • Playing a campaign in Orzovia has been so much fun! I've really enjoyed the Divine Agent Rogue subclass, which feels powerful and uniquely flavorful. Orzovia forces you to think about aspects of RPG's that are often downplayed, such as rests, healing, rations, etc.. The fantasy setting of Orzovia has far exceeded my expectations, and I have greatly enjoyed our time in it!
  • In Orzovia a Cleric's work is never done, but the new Cleansing Domain Cleric is up to the challenge. The new spells and the Might and Magic feature provides many options for improved action economy. This helps a lot whether you're on the front lines holding back the darkness or quickly need to snatch an ally from the clutches of death or simply need to punch evil in the face.
  • The College of Hymns bard is one of the most functional characters I've ever played. This bard's support capabilities have been critical in surviving several fights in our campaign.
