Fallen Dominion Studios, LLC

Fallen Dominion Studios, LLC Fallen Dominion Studios is an Iowa-based Indie game company established in 2005. Our board games are meticulously crafted to withstand the tests of time.

Fallen Land is a hybrid role-playing, card and strategy board game. Set in a dark and brooding post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting, Fallen Land is driven by macabre stories of a world gone mad. It incorporates the diverse elements of adventure, politics and economics to deliver a unique gaming experience. While the game's roots are based on actual Cold War studies, scenarios and compiled research--we

have expanded and theorized upon these elements to arrive at our game's premise: What would happen after a nuclear and biological apocalypse? Our answer is Fallen Land. To set the stage for your journey exploring the world, we have harnessed the classic characteristics of "pulp-fiction." The now famous pulp magazines were categorized by their lurid and exploitative short stories, and were brought to life by their eye-popping artwork from 1895 until the late 1950s. Today's modern comics and graphic novels are the descendants of this classic brand of storytelling, which featured heroic characters such as: The Shadow, Doc Savage and The Phantom Detective. In addition, Fallen Land contains the elements of a "Choose Your Own Adventure," because each time it is played, the game's variables change: the storyline, your cards, threats, player interactions and strategies. The First Edition of the game is comprised of over 1,200 cards; featuring 900 pieces of original artwork and 800 short stories. Therefore, the combinations are limitless. As players in Fallen Land, you are the political leaders of a unique faction of survivors competing for primacy in the ruinous aftermath of post-apocalyptic America. You must oversee the diverse aspects of running a town, amidst a complex myriad of bribery and betrayal by other the players. Scrambling to secure resources, build your town, and protect your citizens--you will have to make and break treaties to endure; utilizing any and all means at your disposal. But that is just where the adventure begins! You must also utilize a party of characters (your agents), to explore the ruinous landscape, establish your territory and solidify your political and economic agenda. Combined, these elements make Fallen one of the most cut-throat and challenging strategy games in existence. A standard game of Fallen Land take's about 1 hour per participant and can be enjoyed by a group of 2-6 players. It features a unique gaming system, as of yet unseen by the gaming community. Utilizing diverse decks of cards, dice, town play mats, chips and a detailed map. The core decks are comprised of a Character Deck (your agents), a Spoils Deck (equipment) and 3 Encounter Decks (short stories), a Mission Deck (complex stories), and an Action Deck (that modifies game play). Each of these elements represent a variable in the Fallen Land equation: the telling of a unique tale of survival and a rise to primacy. I know we speak for everyone here at Fallen Dominion Studios, when we wish you the very best experience in your many happy hours of future game play. We're just as anxious to share our labors with you, as you are to get started. So, without further delay--enjoy!

It is our EPIC Dungeons and Dragons mega-campaign, that will take characters from 3rd-20th level. It is comptable with 5e & 2024 5.5e. Eventually we will have a Dungeon Crawl Classic (DCC) version planned, as well as a few other conversion in mind as die-hard OSR fans.

A HUGE shout out to Sean Howard for all of his recent hard work on the Fallen Dominion Studios website upgrades!
