What is Ley Line?

Ley Line is a pen-and-paper fantasy roleplaying game crafted for storytelling and player freedom. As a player, you might assume the role of a hero traveling the land with a sword strapped to their back, a sinister necromancer beckoning spirits from beyond the veil, or a simple farmhand who has never lifted a crossbow. With the Story Thread system, you and your table can experience various story types, from a crunchy dungeon crawler to a terrifying horror story.

If you can envision it, you can run it.

The World of Nimoria

Journey through Nimoria where ley lines carrying ancient magic shape a world of awe and peril. Encounter Dryads shimmering with sunlight, Awakened souls of clockwork, and Undine guarding athras crystals from Naga. From Bruin traders to shadowy Red Caps, every corner teems with life and danger.

The Art of Ley Line

Every piece in Ley Line channels deep devotion, breathing life into Nimoria’s magic. From the nimble and radiant Undine to the creative Bruin, each creation captures the realm’s wonder and danger. Our artists poured heart into every detail, crafting visuals that don’t just illustrate—they inspire your story, turning pages into portals of adventure.

Story Threads

Story Threads align a character’s potential combat abilities with the tale the Loremaster wishes to spin. They establish a starting point for skills and masteries while also setting limitations on the number of actions a player can take and the strength of their defense. There are three options: Frayed, Heroic, and Mythic.

Craft Your Origin

There are no attributes in the Ley Line. Instead, we focus on skills and defining features. In character creation, our goal is to empower you to build any character concept you can dream of without any gotchas getting in the way of your vision. We do this by implementing a flexible Origin system that lets you construct your character from their ancestry, descriptors, core memories, skills, specializations and masteries from the ground up. We don’t lock you into any specific path, and the special powers you choose can be customized further through the Ascension system.

Myth and Monster

Ley Line returns to the old myths of horrors that lurk at the forest’s edge. You might share a bench with a farmer who claims to have seen eerie lights drifting through the bog at dusk, or you might travel with a merchant who skirts a main road rather than risk a shortcut patrolled by lurking fiends. You will hear whispers of Nuckelavee, Bean-nighe, and Red Caps. Stay safe on your travels, and keep your blade ready.
