Shadowforge
Someone at this table was forged in shadow. In the forge-town of Emberhold, the Hollow wear the faces of your friends. The Wardens hunt them. The Wanderers are here for reasons of their own. Nobody knows who anyone is, until the blood starts.
Trust no one.
Strike anyway.
Every player gets a secret character. Roll the dice to move through Emberhold's six cursed places: the Moonwell, the Gravefield, the Witchwood and more. Draw Boons and Curses, pass secret Whispers to test your friends, and attack anyone close enough to bleed.
Reveal yourself at the right moment and your character's power wakes up. Reveal too early and everyone knows who to kill.
Forged for
game night
Thirty characters
Ten Hollow, ten Wardens and ten Wanderers, each with a power of their own. Every Wanderer has their own way to win.
A living 3D board
A forge burning at the centre, lava in the cracks, candle-lit locations with their own little scenes. Spin it, zoom it, watch the pawns walk.
Real 3D dice
The same 3D dice as Fate & Ember. Pick your set, and everyone at the table sees your dice when you roll. Every roll is fair: the server rolls, not your browser.
Whispers
Secret cards you hand to one player. The game makes them answer truthfully, and everyone watches what happens next.
Online with friends
Host a table, send a four-letter code, play from anywhere. No accounts and no downloads. Drop out and you can rejoin your seat.
Bots fill the seats
Short on players? Add bots to reach four to eight. They play fair: they only know what their seat could know.
At the table
Coming soon
Shadowforge is in the forge right now. It plays in the browser on any device, so once its server goes live you'll be able to play straight from this page.
