“All things fade—fortunes, flesh, even stories. But for a time, you shone. You dared the dark when others stayed home.”
Welcome to The Lost Years, a tabletop role-playing game about ordinary people who choose a life of danger and discovery. You will play a human adventurer with only four “seasons” of dungeon delving ahead of them. Each season consists of three “delves” into ancient ruins, where you will face traps, monsters, and forgotten magic. When the delve ends, you return to the surface to rest, train, and live with the weight of your actions.
This is a game about risk and consequence. Choosing when to fight and when to retreat. Knowing when to press forward and when to fall back. As characters age, their bodies weaken but their minds grow sharper. The young may be faster and stronger, but the old are clever and cautious. Survival requires both.
There are no elves, no prophecies, and no gods to save you. Only the stories you leave behind, the scars you carry, and the treasures you claim before your time runs out.
You have twelve chances. Make them count.
The Lost Years is available through DriveThruRPG in Print and PDF.
