The world

One small table.
A whole world.

A basement in 1987. A game that seemed to be over. And little creatures whose adventure is only just beginning. El Refugio grows out of that moment when a map, a few dice and a group of friends become something more.

You bring the imagination. We bring the table.

ATLAS · THE GAME MASTER

The world begins
in your imagination.

Atlas represents the game master: the person who draws the first path and lets the group discover many more. Building a map opens up possibilities for the next session.

At the heart of the game

Create. Roleplay.
Be surprised.

  1. A world of your own

    The game master sets the scene, gives its inhabitants a voice and prepares encounters. Maps are where the story begins, not where it ends.

  2. Your choices matter

    Exploration, dice and turn-based combat support the session. Conversation and the group's ideas stay at the heart of the experience.

  3. Small bodies, big personalities

    Elemental slimes, knowing looks and exaggerated expressions. A way to be present at the table and make it your own.

Before you take a seat

Is it available yet?

El Refugio 1987 is in development. We will share news and official links here when it becomes available. If you are press or a publisher, see the press kit.

Who leads the adventure?

A human game master prepares and runs the session. The group roleplays their characters and decides how to respond: the story comes from you.

Do I need roleplaying experience?

We want to bring roleplaying to groups with different levels of experience. A game master, imagination and a desire to share a story are the starting point.

You bring the imagination. We bring the table.
