The Riverhand
A downloadable playbook
Life was a storm so you chose to live on the wide and blue. There on the River, you turned away from your problems in favor of easier ones. You let the rapids and currents carry you. There was no need for directions, no need for any choices, just survival. It can feel like cowardice. But you're not ashamed of it. Sometimes, an escape is the only good choice you can make for yourself. Maybe you can help others see that too and guide them on the River.
You are alive. Your care is rough-handed, shameless and deep.

The Riverhand is a Kith who dedicates their life to the Rivers of Hæth. Wherever the River takes them, they will follow. This Playbook is focused on escaping a past full of problems, going with the flow, seeking independence and what it means to have it.
The Playbook includes character creation and worldbuilding mechanics. What secrets do the Rivers of Hæth keep hidden? What price does the River take from its passengers? What is a Riverhand anyways? You get to choose the answers.
If you're looking to bring an element of mystery, navigation and empowerment into Wanderhome, the Riverhand is for you.
