Forever Animal is an original tabletop adventure book developed for the FATE ACCELERATED tabletop system. It is set within the Paleolithic-inspired fantasy setting Wanderway. The book is designed to loosely guide three to eight players through a tale of escape and revolt by a pre-agricultural nomadic society against an invading, colonialist civilisation.
Both Forever Animal and Wanderway are based on my own concept and worldbuilding. The original Wanderway World Book was a team effort; Forever Animal was my own solo project.
