The Journey Is the Adventure

Choose your route to Lake Town through wilderness, rivers, pirates, predators, and trouble.

A wilderness journey where the route to Lake Town becomes the adventure, with rivers, pirates, predators, and player choice.

The Road to Lake Town

Having survived their first adventures in the world of Portal Lake, the party sets out for Lake Town, the largest settlement on the lake and the next stop in their search for answers.

Their mission appears simple: deliver important dispatches from Braeford and follow the trail of a mysterious thief. But the roads of Portal Lake are anything but safe.

Will the party travel the forest trails? Follow the river? Brave the open waters of Portal Lake itself?

Every route offers different dangers, opportunities, allies, and secrets waiting to be discovered.

A Journey Shaped by Player Choice

Road Trip is a wilderness adventure built around exploration and meaningful decisions. Rather than following a single path, players choose how they travel and which risks they are willing to face.

Along the way they may encounter bandits, pirates, dangerous predators, wandering travelers, strange mysteries, and opportunities for both heroism and profit.

The journey itself becomes the adventure.
