Design and art by Chris Scaffidi
Solo choose-your-own-path civilization-builder
1 player / Ages 14+ / 30-ish minutes
The dwarfs depend on you, their crystal golem, to guide their civilization after the dragon apocalypse. Defeat the enemy. Multiply the population. Build new cities. Explore a magical world. Trade with other Peoples. Thrive!
Structured as a branching narrative, this prequel to What Lies Beneath invites you to direct the plot — but only if you master a unique combination of dice challenges.
This book-game, What Lies Before, serves as the first volume of Dwarfdom. If it is popular, then I’ll write a second volume.
