{"product_id":"the-defenders-almanac","title":"The Defenders Almanac","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe creators of the cooperative board game Defenders of the Wild present an illustrated guidebook to the besieged lands of the Commonwood and a rules-light tabletop roleplaying game for collaboratively telling your own stories of animal resistance to the machine invasion. Each story requires a storyteller and 2 or more players to roleplay as the main characters: animal Defenders embarking on a life-changing mission in the war against the machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Defenders Almanac features extensive reproductions of in-world documents such as histories, maps, botanical guides, short stories, and diagrams that are all paired with evocative illustrations. The final section of the book details the complete rules for a bespoke and streamlined roleplaying game system designed for quickly diving into short stories of sabotage, rescues, escapes, espionage, heists, and other forms of clandestine resistance. Players build animal characters using a character web that expands as the story progresses unlocking new proficiencies and abilities. Significant actions are resolved using six-sided dice and the average story lasts 3-5 chapters that are each approximately 1 session of gameplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan the Defenders work together to navigate the complexities of the Commonwood and defeat the machine occupation? Or will the Land of the Fire Oaks succumb to a devastating industrial winter? It’s up to you and your comrades to decide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outlandish Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55229345759608,"sku":"OUTGAMDEFALM","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2003\/4581\/files\/DA_1_e0dafd00-13a7-47bb-8ab9-a6e307bd99de.png?v=1753889585","url":"https:\/\/thirstymeeples.co.uk\/products\/the-defenders-almanac","provider":"Thirsty Meeples","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
