“As the first of the monstrosities shambled into the torchlight, we clutched our weapons tightly. The air was thick with the smell of strange sorceries. Nobody would rest tonight.”

The third edition of Ivan Sorensen’s Five Leagues From the Borderlands is a solo/co-op RPG-lite adventure wargame that puts you in command of a warband of hard-bitten adventurers. Build and play a fantasy campaign where you fight to reclaim the land from sinister forces. Hunt down your foes, sneak into enemy camps, crawl through underground cavern complexes, track down terrifying monsters, and engage in engrossing multi-stage quests.

EVOLVING WORLD

The gritty world of Five Leagues from the Borderlands is filled with procedurally generated events and scenarios that populate your unique map with fantastical locations to explore. Everything you do builds the story of your heroes as they grow in experience and skill… should they survive, of course.

SPRAWLING ADVENTURE

Build up your warband and pursue town activities such as hunting, kit repair or talking to the locals. Travel the game map, exploring locations and fighting battles with increasingly dangerous enemies. Be warned, every activity has its consequences, from your heroes succumbing to injuries to the enemy plotting against you!

MINIATURES AGNOSTIC
