The Promised Land RPG: Tabletop Roleplaying Game of Ancient Fantasy

Discover a tabletop roleplaying game set in a fantasy version of the ancient Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean, where players navigate as nomads, merchants, priests, and warriors in an uncertain world.

What is The Promised Land RPG?

The Promised Land RPG is a tabletop roleplaying game designed by Matthew Snyder and published by his company, Troll Lord Games. It is set in a fantasy version of the ancient Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean region during the Bronze Age.

In The Promised Land, players take on the roles of wandering tribespeople, merchants, priests, and warriors. Character creation involves choosing a culture and background, as well as attributes, skills, traits, and equipment. The core mechanic of the game revolves around attribute checks and saving throws using polyhedral dice.

Over the course of their adventures, the player characters interact with many of the cultures that existed in the region during the Bronze Age, including Canaanites, Egyptians, Hittites, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Assyrians, Babylonians, and more. They battle monsters out of ancient myth, uncover lost ruins, trade goods from distant lands, and ultimately shape the age-old tales that would one day become legend.

With rich worldbuilding and lore drawing from history and mythology, The Promised Land RPG puts a fresh spin on Bronze Age fantasy tabletop roleplaying. Both GMs and players will enjoy exploring this realization of the ancient world that could have been.
