Hi! I make tabletop roleplaying games based on things I like.

Aufenthalt: In Coda's Wake

What events preceded the heroes’ journey? What stories will follow?

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.

In Plain Terms

• 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 support stories over multiple sessions and keeps a wide lens on the world.
