Rules That Support Creativity

Land of Eem emphasizes player creativity and collaborative storytelling, with character abilities that allow players to invent and shape the world around them. The game is more about roleplaying, teamwork, exploration, and finding lost treasures, than it is about always fighting monsters–though that’s definitely part of the game! 

D12 Dice System

Utilizing the criminally underused D12, Land of Eem’s simple dice mechanic allows for degrees of success and failure. Both the GM and players are encouraged to have input on interpreting the results!

Colorful Characters

Choose from 16 Folk species, in addition to 6 character Classes each with 20 unique Abilities.

Travel and Exploration

Explore the Land of Eem with robust travel rules that will take characters across a beautifully illustrated hex map. Paired with the Mucklands Sandbox, Land of Eem offers player-driven exploration and tons of GM tools that are easy to use.  

Fast, Fun Conflicts

While combat is sometimes avoidable, getting into a scrape or two is inevitable. Combat is quick and decisive, with a frequent counterattack mechanic that simulates duels.

Level Up

Characters earn XP not by slaying monsters but by roleplaying, exploring, and engaging with the narrative and game world.

Deep Crafting System

150+ crafting components to find on your travels and use to create unique potions, items, and food.

Hidden Magic

Land of Eem is a world of hidden magic. Only the Gnome class is inherently magical, but all characters can discover powerful magic items, potions, and scrolls that grant unique Abilities, not just ho-hum stat modifiers.
