Wander Worlds

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $3.99

Wander Worlds is a micro-RPG built to portray any setting. Quick to learn, epic to explore, the first edition comes with five different premade worlds ready to discover.

  • Cthulhu
  • Crime Noir
  • Classic Fantasy
  • Space Opera
  • Modern Spy

In short, the two-page set of universal rules can be "mad-libbed" with character traits, adventure seeds, rewards, plot twists, enemies, etc. that are provided by each setting's unique "playbook."

The engine is geared towards telling a unique and compelling story with minimal pre-game preparation.  Beyond the premade settings, Wander Worlds also comes with materials that will help you bring your own world to life.

A Note from the Designer

For GMs, I think the promise of Wander Worlds is that you can create a vibrant campaign setting of any genre and create a playstyle of your choice in ~30 minutes, and design adventures within that setting in even less time.

For players, I think the system sets itself apart in a few ways. It's easy to learn, easy to play, easy to transport, inexpensive, and that's always appealing.  I'm also not aware any universal system, micro or not, that is quite as easy to actually adapt to other settings. This is also one of very few micros that I'm aware of that offers character advancement and honestly I think the advancement system in this game is pretty cool. There are a few other things, like compelling character creation, emphasis on teamwork, and an embracing of combat and non-combat situations, that would also recommend the system.

I think the most likely use case for this game would be a player be poking around for something to play and saying something like, "oh cool, here's a Cthulhu micro-RPG! I wonder if my GM would want to run that. Oh, and it's easy to print and play, too! This crime noir setting looks cool, too, and I can use the same system to play that! Heck, let's get the group together!" Not saying that's what's going to happen, but I think that's what it's built for.  If I can help bring gaming groups together, and help them explore strange new worlds, I'll consider this system a success.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
