Frequently Asked Questions

In Shroudwake, mutation is not magic…it’s survival. Characters evolve along branching mutation paths, reshaping body and mind through choices that matter. The Degree of Success (DoS) system rewards precision and creativity, turning every roll into a moment of tension and triumph. Crafting Styms; living relics born from harvested mutations, lets players forge tools, weapons, and armors that change with them. Every encounter offers more than treasure: players earn Writ rewards tied to their decisions, forging personal legacies through consequence and discovery. Here, even failure evolves the story, because in Shroudwake, the world remembers what you attempt as much as what you achieve.

The World Transformed.
When the sky tore open, the world awoke to its own chaos.
Millennia ago the heavens split apart and a living mist swept across the land. This was the dawn of The Shroudwake, a force that unmade what was known and reshaped what could be. Forests stirred with sentience, rivers whispered in an ancient tongue, and beasts twisted into creatures out of nightmare and myth. Now, every being bears the mark of transformation…your blood a map of the cataclysm that remade creation.
