UVG 2E: Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City

Welcome to The Ultraviolet Grasslands, the roleplaying game of heroes on a strange trip through mythic steppes in search of lost time, broken space, and deep riffs. Half setting, half adventure, and half epic trip; inspired by psychedelic heavy metal, the Dying Earth genre, and classic Oregon Trail games.

For the hardcover, visit Exalted Funeral.

The 2nd Edition is a director's cut of the OG UVG
