Root: The Roleplaying Game Core Book

War has come to the Woodland, and it needs people who don't fit neatly into anyone's army. Root: The Roleplaying Game puts you in the boots of a vagabond, an outlaw wandering between clearings and choosing, job by job, whose side you're really on.

This is the officially licensed tabletop RPG built on the world of the beloved Root board game, but you don't need to have played it to dive in. It's a woodland full of scheming cats, rebel mice, exiled birds, and a rotating cast of outsiders just trying to get by, which makes it an easy world to see yourself in no matter what you look like at the table.

Inside the core book:

• Nine distinct playbooks for building a vagabond with a voice and a past all their own
• Clear, approachable rules covering roguish feats, reputation, and travel between clearings
• Equipment and combat mechanics where your choices actually shift the story
• A full GM toolkit for running factions, conflict, and a ready made clearing called Gelilah's Grove

It's a game built for found family at the table: three to six players telling a story about who gets to belong, who gets left out, and what you're willing to risk for the people you choose. No prior RPG experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to make trouble.
