You are an exile. A teenage misfit who barely ekes by at society’s edge. You grew up in a world that cast you aside and deemed you perverse. You learned to hide or fight, never able to live free. 

Tough luck. Not only were you handed the short end of the stick, but now you’ve been charged for a fatal crime and sentenced to exile in The Below: A nightmarish underside where tarnished souls like yours are sent to rot.  

 Those in power think they’ve ridden themselves of you. Yet, unbeknownst to them, you’ve resolved to escape: With a band of fellow exiles by your side, you shall delve The Below, clash with its dwellers, and blaze a path back home.  

You shall succeed, die in the attempt, or worse.

A fairy tale RPG of sharp blades, cutthroat kinship, and bloodied tears.

“You take a step, then another. Close your eyes and ready yourself. Will they come for you? So be it.
You will come for them.”

Every time you sit down to play EXILE, you alternate between going on perilous Delves where you journey through a territory, and setting up Camp to focus on scenes of mishap and recovery with your fellow exiles.

• HEARTFELT & DEADLY: Confront The Below's perils with a ruleset that emphasizes hard choices and pushes your character to their breaking point. Cry about it later in tearful scenes of mishap and recovery.
• CARD-BASED: EXILE features cards for anything from Items, Conditions, and important character abilities like Undoings and Prophecies.
• A GRUELING CRAWL: Throughout the game, you get to explore Landmarks: bizarre pockets of land filled with characters to meet, mysteries to unveil, and conflicts to defy. Play either for a single session or over a long, dreadful campaign.
