“Higher Grounds announces a Kickstarter project for their new Dhovaine tabletop rpg.”

The first ever introduction to the new Three6 Engine written for a bright and brilliantly realized science fantasy world by legendary game designer Ray Machuga.”

Kickstarter End Date: Saturday, April 15 2017

Higher Grounds has a penchant for creating structured games with a lean on allowing players to do very epic things with a focus on detailed and dynamic rules systems. In this unique twist on a modern fantasy world, Dhovaine has introduced a new standard in science fantasy gaming. Dhovaine includes a unique, exclusive 3d6 mechanic and features an insane amount of character customization and growth options throughout the game. Players take on the role of monster hunters, protecting humanity from the threat of powerful and dangerously fantastic creatures in a world filled with magic and wonder.

The Kickstarter project for Dhovaine is intended to finish the remaining required full-color artwork, and to assist with the cost of printing and distribution. As befitting a game written by Ray Machuga, Dhovaine is a game with a heavy focus on gritty, epic adventure interlaced with heavy doses of high storytelling and cinema. The core book features the option to create characters from pre-generated sheets or to create your very own hunter from scratch, detailing every minutia of your character from the ground up. Players will take on grand adventures and dive into ancient ruins with the feeling of an old school dungeon crawling feel, updated and renovated to fit a new era of tabletop gaming.

After a series of smaller games, such as Glitch and Warsong, Ray has truly sunk his claws into creating a tabletop game that is not only unique but also enjoyable and fun to play. You can build a character exactly the way you want it, and are provided with rules systems to do things that are glossed over in other games. Features such as crafting, magic and even combat are given a true upgrade in Dhovaine, allowing you to contribute to the story in ways that are uniquely your own. Higher Grounds publishes games with tabletop freedom and a console feel. From their uncompromisingly unique stance on tabletop gaming to their in-depth realization of their own worlds, Ray Machuga consistently produces high quality, fast-paced and enjoyable games that
appeal to old school and new school gamers, alike.
