About the game
Roll Player Adventures is a cooperative storybook board game set in the World of Ulos, where fully formed heroes face branching narrative missions to defend the kingdom of Nalos. Players make choices about who to befriend and who to battle, with consequences that ripple across eleven core adventures and a replayable side quest. You can pick from thirty-six pre-generated characters or import a hero from the original Roll Player game and its expansions. No prior ownership of Roll Player is required to play.
Hobbli's Notes
Roll Player Adventures shifts the Roll Player series from character-building into rich narrative campaign territory, and it succeeds at making every choice feel consequential. Hobbli's team likes that it welcomes newcomers while still rewarding fans who bring imported characters from the base game. The story-driven, choose-your-path structure makes this a strong pick for groups who enjoy narrative co-op games like Gloomhaven or Charterstone.
What we like
- Rich branching narrative with meaningful consequences.
- Compatible with imported Roll Player characters for series fans.
- Thirty-six pre-generated characters offer variety without setup.
- Eleven adventures plus a side quest provide substantial content.
Keep in mind
- Long campaign length requires a committed, recurring group.
- Narrative choices reduce replayability of individual adventures.
- Rules and bookkeeping can be fiddly across sessions.
Who it's for
Great for cooperative gaming groups of 1-4 players aged 12+ who enjoy narrative-driven fantasy campaigns and meaningful story choices.
