The Mist has lifted. The Land Calls
For three hundred years, a demonic mist smothered Ravenland and kept everyone who lived there close to the fire and close to home. In 1165 AS, without warning or explanation, it lifted. Humans, elves, dwarves and orcs can roam free for the first time in living memory — and the ruins, tombs, and gold hoards of a forgotten age lie waiting for anyone willing to risk the road to reach them.
Forbidden Lands is an open-world survival hexcrawl: no plot handed to you, no railroad to follow — just a map, a set of dice, and the certainty that nothing out here is free. Below you’ll find everything Friday Knights uses to run it: player cheat sheets, character creation, the Gamemaster’s toolkit, and a ready one-shot to try it with.
Support the Game
We play it because someone made it.
Forbidden Lands is published by Free League. If you like what you see here, support the people who made the thing and pick up your own copy.
We’re big fans of the team at Dungeonland — a proper independent games shop run by people who know and love the hobby. If they’ve got it on the shelf, that’s where we’d start.
Can’t find it there, or prefer digital? DriveThruRPG is usually your next stop.
Friday Knights isn’t affiliated with either – we just think good games and good game shops are worth supporting.
