Vrahode is the world where the Vrahode Game System takes place. We have created a unique planet, astronomical context, history, races, creatures, enemies, stories and quests. Vrahode and everything in it was conceived in 1990 by Jeff Irving when he was in college at Ball State University as a graphic design and journalism student.

Vrahode: Age of Prophecy is currently in it's final stages of production. Those who participate in our Kickstarter and Gamefound campaigns will be first to receive their copy. To get early access, make a pledge with us on Gamefound! To stay up to date on new developments, subscribe to our email list. Estimated delivery date: June 2025

No, a Game Master is never required to play Vrahode. Not only does the Vrahode Game System not require a Game Master, we’ve crafted the player count and gaming options carefully, so you can play with a group of up to six friends or all by yourself and anything in between and still access every aspect of the game’s rich variety of game modes and quest types.

With our thoughtfully designed Character Dashboards, we’ve made it easy for as little as one and up to 6 players to adventure together at a time. But don’t forget that a player and a Hero are different things. We recommend that, if playing the full campaign mode by yourself, you bring along at least three Heroes in your adventuring party. As such, you would be managing three Character Dashboards at a time. Feel free to throw this advice to the winds if you want, but just remember, the winds of Vrahode bite hard.

The short answer is: 30 minutes to as long as you want. The Vrahode Game System is stuffed with value-added content, from single tile Errands that will take you no longer than sipping a cup of coffee, to sprawling Missions and other quest strings which could easily take a playing party an entire afternoon. What’s more, we’ve built Vrahode around the ability for players to craft their own adventures. Feel like playing a string of five minutes sprints? Go for it. Rather have a three-day marathon of enemy waves? You can do that too? There is no limit to Vrahode.

It is a rule system initially housing a four game series. It is designed to be easy to learn, easy to play with lots of richness and choices that don’t overcomplicate the experience. It is also a system that encourages fan created content. Players can create their own heroes, quests, maps, etc. Fan created content can be shared to a forum we provide. There will also be additional expansions and new sanctioned materials from Weathervane Games in the future.

Yes! The story remains the same but the experience will be unique each play through wether you play a solo run or up to 4 players.

There are five (5) boxes that together make up the Vrahode Game Series. The introduction to Vrahode begins with "Age of Prophecy". The core box to follow will be "The Calteeryn Ascension" with three (3) expansions to the core box.

A lot! With four boxes worth of sweeping epic fantasy story arc, the Vrahode Game Series has a host of characters who bring the world and story to life. In the four boxes, you’ll find well over one hundred Hero, NPC, enemy and terrain miniatures, ranging from small Hero and support characters to very large and complex bosses that sprawl over many squares on our Encounter Maps.

While it is not the goal of our team to make Vrahode unplayably difficult, the series will not cater to those looking for a leisurely stroll through flowered fields. For many reasons, the Vrahode Game Series and System will be decidedly difficult. The “fail forward” conditions present and in many cases unnecessarily rewarding in so many other games, will not be present in Vrahode. The ability to mitigate risk through dice is nowhere in our game. Even the humblest enemies can truly threaten death for the unseasoned Hero or traveling party. In addition, many of the ways we’ve increased replayability and unpredictability in our series also contribute to an increased challenge level. All in all, Vrahode is a game in which every reward and every advancement is hard earned. But fear not, if things get too tough, running away from a losing battle and gaining some more provision and experience before returning is often an option.

Vrahode: Age of Prophecy comes with four (4) pre-generated characters in order to introduce adventurers to the gaming system. Once you advance into the core box (Vrahode: The Calteeran Ascencion) you will have the option of bringing custom characters on your adventure with you.
