Welcome to Furwood Forest, a bountiful woodland locked in conflict. Powerful factions vie for control of the clearings and their citizens as adventurous vagabonds work to assist or undermine these factions.

The clever and ever-scheming animal factions are pressing their political influence! How will you and your fellow vagabonds react to the evolving plots unfolding (openly and secretly) before you? Tread wisely: your decisions may have dire future consequences for all…

Root is a rules-light RPG where player decisions lead to persistently shifting power-struggles within the woodland war, resulting in permanent progression changes to the game each week. Commitment is light, allowing players to walk away from the game week to week and enjoy Oregon’s own woodland empire. We will be continuing this ongoing campaign every Sunday with our regular core group, and are always looking to welcome new folk to the forest!

New to the game? Pre-made character sheets are available, or show up early to create a new one! We also recommend showing up a little early (or at a different pre-scheduled time) if you are unfamiliar with the game and would like to walk through it with the game master. All required materials are available at the store, but you are welcome to bring your own favorite D6 dice, pencil, and/or Root character sheet if you desire.
