"Beneath the splendor of the industrial revolution and post-war exuberance, metaphysical corruption festers in the shadows as creatures of the Netherworld erode the foundations of a god-forsaken world."
Kustannusosakeyhtiö Gogam is proud to announce that the new urban campaign setting Welcome to Eevenkoto will be officially released at Ropecon 2026 on Friday, July 24.
The new publication is a 52-page (including covers) softcover overview of a new roleplaying setting. Eevenkoto offers a gateway to adventures where traditional high fantasy meets industrial upheaval, post-devastating-world-war reconstruction, and the struggle between technology and magic.
Full 5.5e and L&L Compatibility
The book provides players and game masters with a solid foundation for new adventures, as it is fully compatible with the Legendoja & Lohikäärmeitä system and the latest 5.5e rule updates. Authors Petri Leinonen (writing, layout, and illustration) and Pasi Seppänen (the adventure Lost in the Apparatus) have created a complete package that adapts the rules for a more modern setting and offers new tools for tabletop gaming.
