Overgrown

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to soar amongst the clouds like an eagle? Swing through the trees like a monkey? Leap amongst the ocean waves like a dolphin? What if you could do all of those things in one single character?

Well you're in luck! With the Overgrown TTRPG you can be that dolphin-eagle-monkey! Or an octopus-dog-wasp. Or hippo-koala-snake. What are your favourite 3 animals? Merge them into one creature and play as them!

(despite appearances, absolutely no generative AI was used in any way at all during the creation of any Overgrown content - all of these weird and wonderful creatures were handcrafted from license-free images, mostly from Pixabay, using Photoshop and the files are all available in the hybrids catalogue below!)

Overgrown is a rules-lite naturepunk TTRPG in which you create and play as rapidly evolving hybrids of literally any animal you can think of. Roam a far-future world where nature has fought back against humanity AND WON. Explore a jungle covered planet, trek vast continent stretching forests and delve into the dank swamplands where a dark element is arising to threaten life itself.

This all-ages game is a work of collaborative fiction between the players and game-runner, where you build up communities and locations together and craft your own unique story. The intuitive system allows you to have a character made in minutes and to fully understand how to play within that very first session.
