“The leaves have begun to fall….”

Son Of Oak Game Studio is proud to announce a new Kickstarter for a brand-new Legend In The Mist supplement: a dark fantasy campaign setting called Beyond The Woods from the Irish-owned Old Oak Games. Previously funded on Kickstarter for 5e, the upcoming Legend In The Mist edition of Beyond The Woods will draw gamers into a haunted world inspired by Irish mythology and provide tools for telling stories of otherworldly magic, gruesome horror, and heroic feats.

Tír Nascath, the campaign world of Beyond The Woods, is a land besieged, plagued by beasts, wicked faeries, and armies of the dead. Céad Darach, last stronghold of civilization, is sheltered by the boughs of the Golden Oak, but the great tree’s protective light is slowly fading. To defy this creeping doom, heroic explorers venture beyond their city into the ruined wilds of Tír Nascath, seeking new lands to settle or a way to save their old home…

Old Oak Games is set to publish two beautifully illustrated source-books for players looking to run a Beyond The Woods campaign with the Legend In The Mist game system. The first of these, the Wanderer’s Handbook, gives players these character-building tools:

• 50+ New Theme Kits for making colorful heroes that fit into the fantasy world of Tír Nascath, inspired by both ancient myth and modern games like Elden Ring.

• 4 New Ways of Magic that homage the druids, shapeshifters, and otherworldly spirits seen in classic Irish works like The Táin or The Book Of Invasions.

• New rules for hexcrawl-style exploration in the perilous lands of Tír Nascath.

• New rules for building wilderness settlements called “Bastions” that come with their own Theme Kits and Quests. 

• Language guides for pronouncing old Irish terms and writing in the ancient Ogham alphabet.

The second source-book, the Lorekeeper’s Guide, offers Narrators storytelling resources such as:

• Guides and lore entries that describe the world of Tír Nascath, from the last city of Céad Darach to the ruin-filled wilds around it.

• Entries for new enemies and “Challenges” that range from the bloodthirsty monsters of Irish folklore to otherworldly spirits and fae tricksters.

• 6 complete adventure scenarios written by the finest writers in the Tabletop RPG industry.

• Tropes and story templates that let game groups jump into a Beyond The Woods campaign with minimal prep.

Son Of Oak is thrilled to collaborate with award winning game designer Emmet Byrne and his colleagues at Old Oak Games, and not just because our company names sound so alike! Just like Legend In The Mist, the world of Beyond The Woods drinks deep from ancient folklore and classic fantasy, making it the perfect supplement for role-players who want to transform Legend In The Mist’s rustic fantasy narratives into sagas of grand heroics and desperate struggle.

The “Beyond the Woods for Legend in the Mist RPG” Kickstarter is set to go live on February 17th, 2026. In the meantime, sign up here to get a free preview PDF for the Legend In The Mist edition of Beyond The Woods and follow the Son Of Oak/Old Oak Games websites for updates and announcements!
