The Forbidden Lands is Fria Ligan’s take on classic fantasy mixed with a hefty dose of sandbox style campaign play. And the Bitter Reach adds more.

The Bitter Reach is a new campaign module for the Forbidden Lands roleplaying game that takes players to the frozen reaches in the north, out beyond the Ravenland. What does all that mean? Mostly that winter themed adventures, magic discipline, and new player options have all been added to Fria Ligan’s take on sandbox-style adventuring (where you go out and explore a map, discovering ruins, monsters, and worse out in the wilds–think of it like a West Marches campaign in a box).

With a new profession, two new magic disciplines, and eight killer monsters, there’s a lot to digest in this cold new book, let’s take a look.

The Bitter Reach – $35.88

n the southern lands, elders speak of cold storms from the north. Cursed voices borne on the icy winds whisper of secrets from ages past that would plunge realms and kin into ruin if only someone could understand these ancient words. They are the desperate confessions of the lost. They are the legends of the Bitter Reach.

Deep beneath its frozen surface, creatures told of only in the oldest of legends dwell. They guard treasures that can give their owner power beyond their wildest dreams, treasures that could lay waste to the Bitter Reach if they were found.

And the treasures will be found, sooner or later, so why shouldn’t they be yours to claim?
