The Sand Marches Campaign is here!

Posted by Raddu about 2 months ago

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

After years of development, The Sand Marches await you! Trapped in the middle of an austere desert wasteland with no food and no water, you must hunt to survive, and build your own safe settlement. Discover strange, lost locations and plumb their depths for treasure and resources. Use your skills to navigate the sands and construct the tools and weapons that you need. Make allies from the communities that you meet, or become raiders who are the scourge of the southern Tablelands. Keep hope alive as your band of renegades and outlaws rises from destitution to rulership!
