The Watch RPG

The Watch RPG

The Watch is a tabletop roleplaying game set in a "light fantasy" setting known as The Clanlands. It takes place during a dark and horrific war between the now-united ten clans who live there and an invading force, known only as The Shadow.

The Shadow is a powerful and insidious enemy that is able to enter the minds of its opponents and slowly turn them to its side; twisting them into unnatural foes. For reasons unknown, The Shadow is able to more easily influence the minds of men, and has turned a great deal of the clan's soldiers against itself.

With most of its fighting force crippled or worse, the clans have joined together and begun enlisting new warriors to defend their homes. Women and non-binary femme people who seem better able to resist The Shadow's hold have been recruited, trained, promoted, and formed into a new order: The Watch.

In The Watch, you'll play a group of elite soldiers who are called upon time and time again to defend villages, attack The Shadow's forces at key locations, scout the enemy's lines, and much more. Each mission comes with its fair share of costs and compromises and you'll need to navigate them in order to be ready to heed the next call to action.

Ooookay, I actually thought it was related to this place here. Already wondered about Myrthos' and joxer's stats.

My first thought was this sounds awfully a lot like the Night's Watch from ASOIAF. Must there always be an outside threat, an emotionless horde that threatens to assimilate the free world, while humanity tries to unite and work as one, bla bla bla. The Borg, Others, Swarm, Reapers, whatever. People really do lack some originality nowadays.
