Welcome companions!
Legend in the Mist is live -- and funded!!
Son of Oak is proud to present Legend in the Mist, our exciting new Rustic Fantasy RPG!

Spin a fireside tale of unlikely villagers setting out on a quest into a greater unknown world, rife with peril and mystery, in the vein of The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, Princess Mononoke, and many other classic fantasy stories, or create your own legendary realms with the game’s open-ended system!

Hi there ancient beings drenched in Mist,
It's been 3 years since the last City of Mist Kickstarter, and we've been itching to launch this one:Local Legends, a book of City of Mist districts and one-shots, is coming to Kickstarter in February!
Please take a minute to hit the Notify Me On Launch button.
WHY GET NOTIFIED? Because First Day backers get both early access to the new content via the Son of Oak Codex App and (for physical tiers) two City of Mist dice in a brand new style! Moreover, we will be voting on the 8th district of the book in the first 48hrs of the campaign, so if you want to give your input, you'll want to be there early.
What is planned for the Local Legends Kickstarter?
DISTRICTS!Local Legends will be a new sourcebook for City of Mist. It will include the existing districts but most of the content will be new: expanding on current districts with new Dangers and lore, and adding (at least) two more districts - the long-awaited Chinatown and the 8th District which will be voted on backers. Some ideas floating now are Ocean Heights (did anyone say Anatoli Vidales?) and a fey district in Lakeside Drive... Tell us in the comments: what is your top district to have as the 8th?
ONE SHOTS! In addition, Local Legends will include eight (or more) one-shot Cases, each set in its own district, which will be perfect for a single game night, such as side quests in-between story arcs or when your group has a free night.
NEWACCESSORIES! The Kickstarter will also include a set of accessories for Local Legends including dice in new styles, new pregens (one from each District), a brand new Deck of Local Legends, and more!
STRETCH GOALS! Some of the stretch goals we're planning include additional content and even additional districts, a new soundtrack, and extensive VTT support. Let us know in the comments what other stretch goals you'd like to see!
DAILY UNLOCKS! Another exciting feature we're planning for this Kickstarter is daily unlocks of new content, videos, and polls, so the campaign itself turns into a celebration of City of Mist content. We've waited to do this for a while!
So - you're invited to join us this February! Please add yourself to the followers of this campaign by hitting Notify Me On Launch :
And if you follow us on social media, spread the word!
See you around the Snake in Fortune Row!

Hi there tag invokers, wherever you are in the metroverse!
2022 is almost over, and old man Ben Newman is about to be reborn as a new Baby New again! Let's talk about the year that was and the year that will be.
Vote for the Most Anticipated Tabletop RPG of 2023
Before we dive in, would you please take a minute to vote for Tokyo:Otherscape in EN World's annual "Most Anticipated RPG" contest?
It will only take a moment, and it could help expose more players to this new game! (You need to be signed in to vote.)
We've been nominated to Most Anticipated Tabletop RPG of 2023 - probably by one of you!
What We've Been Up To in 2022
In 2022, we...
Kickstartered the mythic cyberpunk version of CoM, Tokyo:Otherscape
Worked on three games - QUEERZ!, :Otherscape, and the secret next-gen game - all of which will be coming out in 2023! If you haven't backed :Otherscape or QUEERZ!, late pledges are still open.
Developed about four large books worth of content - QUEERZ! three core books and the Adventure Anthology as well as most of Metro:Otherscape and Tokyo:Otherscape, besides lots of other goodies
Created a more adventure-focused version of the CoM engine, titled CoM:Reloaded
Built the Codex App - a new mobile platform for sharing our games with you!
What's Coming in 2023
In 2023, we plan to...
Release QUEERZ! and then :Otherscape early in the year
Upload all of our games to the Codex App
Kickstart Local Legends, a book of Districts and One Shots for City of Mist (postponed from late 2022)
Begin development of Legend In The Mist, our fantasy game using CoM:Reloaded
Launch our secret next-gen game!
Art for three Local Legends: Poseidon from Ocean Heights, Chang'e (aka Moonwraith) from Chinatown, and Rumplestiltskin from Fortune Row
Annual 1-Min Survey: Monthly Content with Patreon?
Last year we asked you what you wanted to see coming from Son of Oak in 2022 and we loved your input (you voted for :Otherscape and Local Legends, both of which went to the top of our list).
With the growing Metroverse and all these game lines aching for more content, we're considering launching a new monthly content subscription via Patreon. Check out this 1-min survey and let us know if you're interested:
(If you're subscribed for email updates from us, you may have also received this survey in email format. Answering either is good; we'll take out duplicates later.)
That's it from us for 2022. Thank you for being here with us and making it so incredible! We wish you an even better 2023 with lots of creative FREEDOM in your TTRPGs and hope to continue to share our journey with you for another year ❤️
With tons of love,
The Son of Oak Game Studio team
