Seattle, WA – July 24, 2023 – Promethium Books, a publisher of the Curesbrand Chronicles, Epic Age, and Advent Horizon tabletop role-playing games, today announced a partnership with Nihon Falcom, the developer of the popular Ys and The Legend of Heroes (also known as Trails) video game series, to produce two original tabletop RPG games based on the two franchises.
The first game, Ys: Age of Heroes, will be a traditional fantasy TTRPG set in the world of Ys, where players can take on the role of heroes following the footsteps of Adol Christin and his friends, exploring the dangerous lands of Ys while battling the forces of evil.
