Vervewalkers: Spoils of War – A Hero Questing Tabletop RPG

Oct 03, 2022

A hero questing fantasy TTRPG, with unique playable species and mechanics, including levelling up via chapters and sabotage actions.

Game Geeks News is proud to bring you another great gaming project currently running on Kickstarter. MajorWood Studios is a multimedia production company founded by filmographer Ryan Greenwood and author Ben Major in 2018. We have been shooting short films and series, while in the background developing two separate universes, one of which is the setting of VerveWalkers: Spoils of War. As part of our ongoing commitment to this universe, we have written a film, are writing a novella, and have many other exciting things planned to complement the tabletop RPG.

Vervewalkers: Spoils of War is a hero quest game, in which each player completes quests to progress and, ultimately, win the game. As they gain reputation and companion points, they will unlock new chapters, granting them access to new spells, warriors and tactics. It isn’t a skirmish game, although you will still be able to indirectly attack your opponents by taking control of enemy creatures during quests and through “sabotage” actions. This makes the game an innovative RPG by combining the best parts of an RPG and losing the tired mechanics from some skirmish games.

A tabletop RPG with a difference:

A living, breathing world supported by continued investment (e.g., novels, expansions, etc.), promoting worldbuilding and longevity.
A robust core game, supported by “bolt-on” mechanics to increase the challenge and re-playability

Unique gameplay, including 1), Chapters – As you gain companion points, you’ll progress through chapters, opening up access to new spells, warriors and sabotage actions; 2), Fellowship – create a band of adventurers from several different species, meaning there are limitless opportunities to customise your party to your play style; 3), Sabotage – use underhand tactics to disrupt your opponents’ plans, including taking control of mercenaries.

Interactive, engaging quests – battle monsters and creatures from the wilds of Atala, but each quest has its own spoils – and difficulty.

Atala is a wild world teeming with fantastical species each with their own agenda – the mountain-dwelling destelt seek glory by raiding the lands of men while the amphibious teleosts seek to save their remaining footholds from ruin. A few from each species can harness a powerful energy called the “Verve”, with which they can syphon spells to heal or destroy. These are known as “walkers” (either Verve or Blight, depending on their nature), who can call on warriors and mercenaries to help them achieve their ambitions. It is in these shoes you will walk, seeking to fulfil your destiny and become the greatest hero that has ever lived.

Community participation through the MajorWood Studios’ website

Rewards for backing this project start from as little as one pound and include a 100-page ebook version of the rulebook and starter kits including card decks and physical copies of the ebook and Vervewalker models and more. For a full breakdown of the rewards available, check out their crowdfunding page on Kickstarter.
