Folk is a rules-light collaborative role-playing game for one Lore Keeper and 2-4 players (Lore Seekers). It is inspired by a deep love of local traditions and folklore, and by the desire to explore them in a game.

In Folk, you will immerse yourself in a world that mostly resembles our own, but where folklore, old sayings, and local legends take a more physical and distinctive form. Alongside physical prowess and mental abilities, the world of Folk shines a light on experience, lore, sixth sense, and ritual. These elements, often forgotten or set aside in our fast-paced and technological society, take center stage in Folk; they become one of the main ways to understand the world and its underlying forces, and they are among the most effective instruments for the Lore Seekers.

Stay tuned for an upcoming Folk Jam opening in July 2024 to collect folk stories from all over the world!
