Twin Drums is the Berlin based team behind the Wagadu Chronicles, an Afrofantasy roleplaying setting. The team is producing both a massively multiplayer online experience for Wagadu and a 5th edition compatible setting for tabletop roleplay.

Wagadu can be described as a sort of purgatory, a strange and wild place where people from the Upper World, the prosperous and more peaceful place where everyone hails from, “fall” and are stuck for good.

No one knows exactly why people fall into Wagadu but what is clear is that it’s an irreversible process and that the only thing that the Fallen can do is band together to survive the beautiful and harsh world of Wagadu.

Powerful spirits, fickle ancestors, angry beasts and magical weather are only some of the challenges that the Fallen face but on the other hand, fertile soils, powerful magic and powerful traditions to be revived are there to reward the hardiest survivors.

We are excited to partner with Twin Drums to bring the Wagadu Chronicles to Shard, beginning with a Player’s Guide and a Gamemaster’s Guide to running adventures. They are both free.

Happy Gaming!
