Osprey Games has another fun roleplaying game coming out later this year in August. Through The Hedgerow: A Roleplaying Game Of Rustic Fantasy has you taking on the role of one of the Fay, tasked with being a guardian of the forests and beyond against the forces of the Dark.

Through The Hedgerow // Osprey Games

Through The Hedgerow is a game of time travel and supernatural adventure (already giving this a tick). You serve as Knights Of The Briar Company who are champions of light amongst the Fay, charged with dealing with the agents of Dark. Your fight traverses history from the Dark Ages through to the Industrial Revolution and World War II meaning that you could find yourself in very different circumstances each time you dive into an adventure. You could be one of the Fay themselves or perhaps a mortal that has been marked for destiny and sent deep into this intriguing world of folklore and mysticism.

As someone who has recently started reading Mythago Wood, I am very much on board for this one. The illustrations from Peter Johnston already look great and I am intrigued by the work of Jonathan Rowe. Mechanically, the game uses a Check & Challenge system that encourages the players to get involved with the storytelling and the flow of the story.

"Seek out powerful magical treasures, safeguard legendary locations, and outwit and outfight the servants of the Dark – wicked Fay lords, fanatical witch hunters, scheming hags, and the brooding Raven Margrave whose undead hordes bring death to the land…"

I think this one could be very fun! What do you think?
