As the seasons turn, so too does the Grove. In our latest State of the Grove update, we offered a glimpse into the projects growing behind the scenes and the bold storytelling paths ahead. Whether you’re a tabletop adventurer, a fantasy fiction lover, or somewhere in between, there’s something new for you under the canopy.
🦇 Land of Vampires Returns This July
The shadows deepen in Land of Vampires, and the next chapter rises soon. Launching on Kickstarter this July, the second installment dials up everything fans loved about the original.
Expect:
- Higher stakes
- Darker twists
- Major setpiece moments—all while preserving the sense of player agency that defines the campaign experience.
Our Patrons enjoy early access content as we’ve been going, so if you hate waiting, there’s no need! If you ventured into the night last time, get ready to sink your teeth into something even more thrilling.
