Oakbound Games has recently launched their own webshop if you have never heard of Oakbound Games before make sure to check them out here. Welcome to our new shop! The gremlins are out of the shopping cart, some other creatures have taken their place and the webstore is open for business.
We’re starting with the first otherworldly creatures to venture into the world of mortals… according to the background of the forthcoming board and roleplay system The Woods. The Myeri are a race of semi-aquatic, cyclopean beings who emerged from the oceans. They are somewhat afraid of humans and tend to stay away from settlements, building their homes along coastlines and waterways.
When the Fae entered the world they drove the gentle Myeri from the palaces of rock they had built, into the swamps and fens. Due in no small part to Fae propaganda, the Myeri acquired a bad name among mortals who refer to them as ‘Marsh Demons’ and blame them for the disappearance of cattle and children. The Myeri appreciate this reputation for it keeps humans away from their settlements, but the occasional mob roused to flush out the Marsh Demons from their homes is an unpleasant side effect.
For this reason the Myeri have forged allies with the larger creatures of the fens, the powerful Woldlice and sinister Kelpies, to further deter the attentions of mortals. Sculpting has begun on Hillfolk, Faefolk, Merfolk, Minefolk and Woodfolk ranges which will join the Fenfolk in the near future.
