A game about kids dealing with growing up while trying to escape a magical world!

In Yeld you play as kids from our world who passed through a magical door to another world, before it locked behind them! Take on heroic jobs, learn new abilities, and switch jobs to mix-and-match all different kinds of special powers while hunting down the Evil Vampire Prince Dragul's Hunters of Yeld to claim the keys to escape back home! Every day matters, because the world changes as seasons pass, holidays and birthdays are celebrated, and your characters age- and when you turn 13, you'll become a monster and be trapped in Yeld forever! Though, being a monster makes you even more powerful- maybe if you can defeat the Prince himself there might be hope yet?

Take turns GMing, grow your characters, and explore to see what kind of stories you and your friends can tell in Yeld!

 In this week's episode, we chat with Maia about tracking the passage of time within a campaign, how GMing changes your persective on the game, and the challenges of playing coming-of-age narratives at a table of adults. Maia is part of the team behind the Magical Land of Yeld TTRPG system, and this ended up being a really thoughtful conversation about designing and playing a game that feels very different from the classical fantasy TTRPG.

This season, we're experimenting with shorter conversations about how people play games. We heard from the Yeld team (briefly!) at the Dragonflight gaming convention earlier this season, and we're really grateful to dive deeper into the system with Maia this week.

It's wild to me that they're able to squeeze three of the classic spyrers, using only two poses, onto a single sprue while simultaneously preserving so much of the character of the original designs but here we are.

Not sure that I'm as impressed by the lateral move away from idle rich thrill killers slumming it downhive where their victims won't be missed, to some kind of suburban safari xenobeast hunting rite of passage for the crotchfruit of House Helmawr.
