Thought a small patch of land between two towns, you're likely to get lost and end up in strange places if you're not careful. There are fae, poachers, and mysteries to discover for those willing to vow their service in protection to Everwood. Each session is designed to work as a one-shot so players can drop in and out as needed. Beginners welcome. Games can run anywhere from 2-4 hours.
