Role Releasing!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Apr 25, 2023 at 03:03:11 PM

Vertiginous vulpines, vagabonds! It’s been a while, but we’re here to tell you that it’s the Role module for Root: The RPG is about to release!

Role Available

In exciting news, the team at Role has worked with us to complete a full Role module for Root: The RPG! Role is a dedicated platform for online role-playing games, featuring HD video and audio, embedded character sheets, the ability to use any device, and more! The module for Root: The RPG is customized to match and suit the needs of this particular game, allowing you to run your game as smoothly as possible.

In the following days, you’ll receive a free code to redeem your own copy of the Role module for Root: The RPG! They should start sending out tomorrow. If you haven’t received your free code by May 15th, please contact us at [email protected].

To use your new Role code and redeem your copy of the Root: The RPG - Role module, simply follow the instructions in the email. You will need an account with Role to access the product. The codes will not expire! 

Free RPG Day

We’re also excited to announce there will be a new Root: the RPG Clearing available for Free RPG Day! This year, Hacksaw Dell will be available during the event at your Friendly Local Game Store on June 24th! Here’s a summary of Hacksaw Dell:

Hacksaw Dell was successfully liberated from the Marquisate through a Woodland Alliance-led rebellion! It stands as one of the only clearings to ever so successfully wrest its own independence from the grip of the great powers…but now, it faces the difficult task of determining what exactly its government and society should look like moving forward. Should it be an out and out democracy with the Assembly of Denizens, slow and plodding as that might be? Does it need a strong leader from the Woodland Alliance to take control and ensure resources are distributed efficiently? Will a crew of vagabonds with differing perspectives be able to help steer the course of the clearing? Play to find out!

To grab your copy, check out the Free RPG Day website and see which store near you is participating! 

If you can't get your hands on a copy, don't fret! We'll announce some other ways to grab a copy of Hacksaw Dell later this year.

Back to the Woodland

That’s all for now! As before, we’ll be going mostly silent as we continue to work on myriad projects, updating only when we have significant news about some new module or tool for you. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] rather than leaving a comment or DMing us on Kickstarter. 

We hope that you’re continuing your tales of the Woodland and its denizens, and as always, we are so incredibly grateful to all of you for helping this game come to life—not least because your support helped Root: The RPG become an ENnie Award winning game last year! Thank you again, and may your journeys be ever exciting!
