Irish Mythology-Inspired Dark Fantasy Campaign Setting Unlocks Third Stretch Goal

To all journalists, critics, bloggers, vloggers, and influencers:

The Kickstarter campaign for Beyond the Woods, the fantasy tabletop roleplaying game setting based on Irish folklore and myth that already made quite a splash in its 5E iteration and will now be available in a Legend in the Mist version, has surpassed the €150,000 stretch goal, unlocking new content for backers and expanding the dark fantasy setting inspired by Irish mythology. Of course, we would love you all to report on this major milestone and hereby invite you to schedule interviews with the creators and/or apply for a review copy of the game.

The Kickstarter campaign will allow publisher Old Oak Games to adapt the acclaimed Beyond the Woods campaign setting to the more narrative-driven Mist Engine, bringing players into the haunted land of Tír Nascath, where the last bastion of mortalkind faces encroaching darkness, malicious fae trickery, and the unrelenting onslaught of the restless dead.

The backers of this campaign are now helping to bring the richly atmospheric RPG setting that melds the ancient myths and riveting legends of the Emerald Isle with the rich storytelling so indicative of the best dark fantasy out there.
