Drifting along in the peaceful void you have no sense of time, place or direction. Everything is perfectly empty.

And then there is a sharp scent, a shrieking scream and a searing tug. The nothingness is no more. You feel everything.

You gasp in a trembling breath, and open your eyes to a harsh light. A creature stares down at you. "Your soul is restored." As though that is a sufficient explanation for what has happened. The creature pads off, leaving you to chase them down if you want answers.



The world of Roam is a huge mostly unknown place. You play as a Tekulma, a creature closely tied to all three planes of existence. Your Tekulma has recently Awakened, and you are far from alone. Others are Awakening too, and realizing something catastrophic must have happened to the world.

The soul of everything living seems to have fled, leaving a withered, twisted dangerous world behind. What's worse, though you are sure this is your homeland, there's no evidence any Tekulma, beyond the few Awakened, live here any longer. And the Soulless wander the realm, looking for a fight to pick.



Everything in Roam has a soul, from the Tekulma, to the plant life, to the very land itself. Or at least it all had a soul ... A handful of Tekulma have Awakened to discover something is terribly wrong. The soul of the land is gone, as are the souls of most other living things. And everyone knows soulless creatures want nothing more than to pick a fight with those who still have a soul ...

The Tekulma will have to work together to try to restore their world to a semblance of what it once was. Or what they imagine it once was? None of the Awakened have much of an idea of what it was like, beyond that fact that this place must have been their home. All three types of Tekulma will need to work together to make progress.​

Tekulma are the dominant species on Roam. They are magical canids that originate from geodes. There are three primary types of Tekulma - Pristines, Intuitives and Gifteds.




The Pristine
The most common of the three types of Tekulma, Pristines are most closely connected to the physical realm and represent about 80% of all Tekulma.




The Intuitive
The second most common of the three types of Tekulma, Intuitives are most closely connected to the spiritual realm and represent about 15% of all Tekulma. They have the unique ability to gather soul shards, which are critical to restoring the world of Roam.




The Gifted
The most rare of the three types of Tekulma, Gifteds are most closely connected to the intellectual realm and represent about 5% of all Tekulma. Depending on when each Gifted came into being, they have access to special magic.

Roam is a vast place ... at least the Tekulma are pretty sure its vast. At the moment they only have access to limited areas.




1. Dusty Expanse
Visit


Most Tekulma Awaken on the Dusty Expanse. It's wide, hot and quite barren. Few things grow here, and what does is twisted and soulless.

2. Broken Steppes

Visit

Seemingly endless sinuous rock chasms stretch from one end of the horizon to the other in the Broken Steppes. Wise Tekulma carefully watch their footing here...

3. Forlorn Shore
Visit
The Forlorn Shore lives up to its name. When it's not raining and the sand is dry, it makes strange wailing noises as its is walked across. Good thing it's rarely dry.

There are many ways that Roam can be played, but at its heart it aligns with tabletop RPGs. You get a character and send them on explorations to improve them, and maybe change the world while you're at it. Through exploration you level your character up, and they learn skills that impact the way they interact with the world.

If you're ready to jump into the RPG, you can check out the guide forum here!



Along with the main RPG, we also offer rewards for roleplaying and completing art prompts! You can check active prompts here.
