The gods of the realm fell, destroying civilization and cutting the realm off from divinity. Centuries later, civilizations have emerged and it is now a time of heroes destined to forge the mythologies of the new realm of Highcaster.
Highcaster is a game about creating a world of legends. It is the story of a civilization rising from the ashes, reaching out into the vast unknown to create a new world and destroy the decay and corruption that threatens it.
Choose from a rich tapestry of cultures and heritages to weave together deeply nuanced tales of heroic characters and their personal journeys, conflicts, and legacy.
The Highcaster System uses the Dungeoncaster open source ruleset. It is a character-driven system that utilizes a d20 as its core randomizer that uses a poll of d4, d6, and d8 dice to determine the modifier. Highcaster is completely cross-compatible with other Dungeoncaster products.
