Twisted Lands TTRPG

Twisted Lands: Where Myth Learns to Breed

You are Gidim - contract-bound wanderers pushed to the edge of civilization when sacred ground ruptures, ancient ruins wake, and biotechnological horrors bleed into the living world of Ghar.

Go to uncover the truth. Record the unexplainable. Return intact… if you can.

A World You Won't Find in Any Other Rulebook

Twisted Lands unfolds on Ghar, an original planet pulled from the unreleased mythic biopunk novels of the game's co-creator - not a familiar setting wearing a new coat of paint. Picture Nausicaä's decaying, sacred wilds colliding with the rain-slick dread of Blade Runner: luminous ruins, fungal wastelands, and transhuman civilizations that still remember how to pray in code.

Rules That Follow Consequences, Not Optimization

If you're worn out on shallow, combat first systems and interchangeable fantasy worlds, this was built for you.

Twisted Lands runs on a custom, narrative forward system where your Gidim is shaped by psychological, ethical, and biological choices that actually stick. Dice and tokens measure uncertainty and consequence, not clean success or failure. The GM plays world-weaver and chronicler, pulling the table into decisions that refuse tidy endings.

Myth, Science, and Spirit Bleeding Into One Another

On Ghar, technology and biology were never separate, and both are awake. The land reshapes itself around memory and intent. Data spirits whisper through dying forests. A relic doesn't wait quietly in a vault. It calls to whatever you're made of.

Here, wonder and dread share the same bloodstream.

Dispatched to Solve Hidden Mysteries

Part scholar, part exorcist, part historian. As Gidim, you take contracts into the places the ordinary world can't face: a region in crisis, a phenomenon that breaks logic, a relic that has started remembering its own name.

You explore, research, negotiate, and survive long enough to report what no one else could confront. Success is measured in truth uncovered and integrity kept, not loot.

Character Creation That Builds a Person, Not a Loadout

Twisted Lands doesn’t ask you to choose one class and let it explain everything about you.

You build your Gidim in layers: Kin, Form, Culture, Order and Duty, and Expressions. Each choice adds something different to the person you’re becoming - your body, where you came from, what you were taught, what responsibility you carry, and the exceptional things you’ve learned to do.

By the end, your abilities don’t feel pasted onto a backstory.

They grew out of it.

Fast to Enter, Built to Linger

Dense atmosphere doesn't have to mean a heavy setup. Twisted Lands gets you into the dark quickly and keeps you there for as long as you want.

Setup: 15–30 minutes to the table
Learn: playing confidently within 1–2 sessions
Play: 1 GM and 2–4 players, from self-contained oneshots to long, unraveling campaigns
