"The Lord of the Rings meets The Muppets!"
Land of Eem is an award-winning, lighthearted fantasy RPG presented in an easy-to-use, easy-to-learn Core Rulebook. It's packed with rules and resources that encourage players to be creative and ease the burden on GMs.
Land of Eem is about adventurers exploring and discovering the remnants of a forgotten, better age. Players portray lore-seeking travelers, fortune-seeking pioneers and adventure-seeking heroes in a time devoid of them. But for all its post-apocalyptic doom and gloom, Land of Eem is tonally quite lighthearted and droll.
Set in the world of our two fantasy series Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo and Dungeoneer Adventures, the game combines Lord of the Rings high fantasy epicness with a heavy dose of Muppets-like whimsy and a dash of Mad Max dystopia.
Together with Exalted Funeral, we've released the Core Rulebook, a Bestiary, and the first Land of Eem sandbox campaign setting: The Mucklands, a realm of 6 unique regions filled to the brim with locations, NPCs, and quests.

Rules That Support Creativity
Land of Eem emphasizes player creativity and collaborative storytelling, with character abilities that allow players to invent and shape the world around them. The game is more about roleplaying, teamwork, exploration, and finding lost treasures than it is about always fighting monsters...though that's definitely part of the game!
Colorful Characters
Choose from 16 Folk species (like the gelatinous goo, skeleton, or the turtle-like quortle), in addition to 6 character Classes (The Bard, The Dungeoneer, The Gnome, The Knight-Errant, The Loyal Chum, and the Rascal) each with 20 unique Abilities. Play as a Shrym Knight-Errant riding a trusty zozo bird, a Mushrum Dungeoneer exploring the ruins of a lost civilization, or a Goblin Rascal planning a heist against a river baron!
