Aufenthalt: In Coda’s Wake is a rules-lite, narrative-focused, high fantasy roleplaying game about powerful immortals and the ordinary mortals they meet across the ages. Its stories are told out-of-sequence, with some chapters taking place continents and centuries apart. Together the players grow the world’s history and discover more about the immortals and the people whose memories they carry.

• For 2-4 players, no game master needed.
• Cooperative storytelling and collaborative worldbuilding in a high fantasy setting.
• Lightweight rules that don’t emphasize combat.
• Each player portrays their own immortal character from a choice of five: Elven Wizard, Doomed Dragon, Wild God, Cursed Vampire, Arcane Construct.
• Players will also evolve mortals from over a dozen legacies.
• Short, episodic scenes that allow for casual sessions and keep a tight focus on the characters.
• An ever-expanding timeline that supports stories over multiple sessions and keeps a wide lens on the world.
