About The Vagrant Path

The Vagrant Path is a sci-fantasy roleplaying game about wanderers, set in a world of monsters, magic, and a civilization that unexpectedly finds itself in possession of a vast amount of advanced technology. The discovery of an information trove of mysterious origins kindles an age of artifacts and knowledge beyond their wildest dreams, thousands of years ahead of their own place in history. Through newfound lore, resources, and tools, sprawling civilizations and small factions alike begin to journey across the dangerous landscape around them, through paths and obstacles that once proved insurmountable.

The stories told in this game follow roving bands of Vagrants—dauntless warriors, hunters, scholars, sorcerers and pathfinders—as they journey across the wilderness and discover the hidden wonders of the world.
