Mystwood is a Live Action Role Playing Game of heroic adventure, set in a fantastical version of medieval Europe. The World of Mystwood is not entirely unlike our own- so similar, in fact, that it makes the differences all the more obvious. While our own Middle Ages in Europe were plagued by wars of religion, the intrigues of noble houses, and the slow rise of a mercantile class, in Mystwood we add the fantastic and the horrific to the already rich tapestry of history.

Pulling inspiration from times and cultures between 800 and 1500 AD, with heavy doses of the folktales and mythologies of the people and places of those times, we create a world of magic, intrigue, and danger. A world of loosely knit feudal kingdoms, where magic lies forgotten in forlorn places, waiting to be sought out by the brave. Where the glory that was Rome lies just beneath the surface, buried centuries ago by the actions of the Dragon and its kin. Where the Three Gods silently watch the lives of their faithful, sending Saints to return to life, that they might help guide humanity toward a brighter future.

And where you, portraying a person of humble birth but potentially great destiny, can help shape the future of the small towns and war-torn fortresses that each Mystwood Chapter portrays.

At Mystwood, adventurers face the ever-present threat of Chaos, whose forces strive impatiently to sweep the lands of men under a tide of daemons, mad cultists, horror and death. They match swords and wits with the looming specter of Undeath, ever aware that those who stand against the darkness must fear for the peace of their graves. And they thwart the machinations of the courts of the Fae, who are at times fickle friends of mankind, and at others bitter and unpredictable foes. Countless monsters of all shape and description, drawn from real world myths and the fevered minds of the game staff, stalk the quiet places between the lonely towns and villages of Europa, waiting for an easy meal of hapless travelers. And, perhaps worse, even amongst the “civilized” bastions of humanity, there dwell folk who would tear all asunder for power, for wealth, or for glory.

But not all is constant battle and hardship. Friendships are won, trust earned, and glory garnered from heroic deeds. The lowest peasant may become a magistrate, a ratcatcher find themselves an official of the crown, a peddler become a trade baron. Mages may learn spells that reshape their world, healers may restore the dead to life, and warriors win priceless magical artifacts from the broken cities of old Rome.
