Characters in Evergreen are defined by the Traits they pick up over their lifetimes. Let's look at a few of them, starting with Solar Feud ☀️

#ttrpg
A graphic titled "Trait: Solar Feud". Below the title is a paragraph that says "Your touch can put out flames. The sun no longer warms you up; you'll never have to fear its heat, but you must find other ways to keep warm." It is followed by a sketch-style illustration of people traveling in a forest under three solar bodies that look like moons.

The world is harsh. It often demands more than you can give.

The Trial rules are simple, but they elevate tense situations into complex scenes. Players take turns sharing the spotlight as they collectively try to overcome the world.

A graphic titled "Trials" in a large, elaborate font. The subtitle, in italics, is "Don't look back, it's coming! Just run!" Below that is a paragraph next to an illustration. The illustration is of an abandoned helmet with holes for horns. Greenery grows around it and a small bird is pecking at it. The paragraph reads: "The road is rich with dangers and close calls. When a situation is too complicated to resolve with a single roll, it becomes a Trial. During Trials, you and your allies take turns figuring out clever approaches, rolling relevant skills and amassing successes. Depending on the Trial's complexity, you need a set number of successes before you have 3 failures."

A sneak peek of the Haven sheet, showcasing Evergreen's seasonal mechanics.

Haven, the players' base, also has skills. They are affected by the incessant struggle between Sun and Nature 🌲

#ttrpg
A graphic titled "Seasons." The subtitle reads "The Lands are marked by the fight of Sun against Nature." The graphic is split in four quadrants. An arrow in the center indicates movement on a clockwise rotation. The corner of one of the quadrants is marked, like this is the active one right now. Starting from the top left and going clockwise, the quadrants read: - "Gloom. Darkness and pessimism. The world is a little worse, so you lean on each other. +1 Succor, -1 Spirit." - "Gush. Rain and mud. Bugs and sickness. The thunder is stronger than your voices. +1 Discretion, -1 Succor." - "Burgeon. Nature flourishes. The Green is strong. The forests come for you. +1 Communion, -1 Discretion." - "Hush. Heat and quiet. The Sun wins. Nature relents. You survived Burgeon. +1 Spirit, -1 Communion." The quadrant for Hush is the one that's marked right now.

White text on pale green background that reads "Trolls" in an elaborate font. A text box next to an illustration of a young troll. They wear simple clothing, cradle an open satchel of herbs, mushrooms and pouches, and hold up a bottle overflowing with thick smoke. The text reads: "The trolls have adapted the best. Throughout their long lives they never take more than the bare essentials, preferring to deprive themselves than offend Nature. They are old, sluggish, resistant to change. Caring and world-wise."

Let's talk about the trolls, who would endure Nature rather than offend Her.

Much of Evergreen is spent on the road.

Using the Journey rules, players have a clear indication of how far their destination is. They can choose how they approach the road and maybe even employ magic to help them along.

Illustration for our #ttrpg by @gawki.bsky.social 🌲
A graphic titled "Journeys" in a large, elaborate font. The subtitle, in italics, is "The way is just as important as the destination." Below that is a divider, and then a paragraph next to an illustration. The illustration is of an armadillo-like creature whose scales resemble a pinecone. The paragraph reads: "Traveling is exhausting and dangerous. When you decide to brave the road and start a Journey, take it one step at a time. In each leg of your Journey you will select your traveling pace, roll to see how far you travel without mishaps, and then face a Complication. Will it be an interesting sight, a fellow traveler, or something far deadlier?"

Civilization lives and dies by the antlered goblins and their caravans.

Illustration for our #ttrpg by Fof (ig: thepengarts_)
White text on pale green background that reads "Goblins" in an elaborate font. A text box next to an illustration of an elderly, antlered goblin holding a map and smoking a pipe. Behind him is a large bipedal bird wearing a bridle on its beak. The text reads: "The goblins don't have the luxury of a long lifespan, so they run. Their caravan-homes have evolved into a travel network for safe passage across the lands. They are small, brash, naive. Curious and hospitable."
