"Fair hero, the end, the end alone awaits all travelers and at the end...was the journey all in vain? All journeys end in vanity. In vanity." - Mused the Grand Observer at the end of time.
Welcome to The Ultraviolet Grasslands, the roleplaying game of heroes on a strange trip through mythic steppes in search of lost time, broken space, and deep riffs.
The Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City is a tabletop role-playing game book, half setting, half adventure, and half epic trip; inspired by psychedelic heavy metal, the Dying Earth genre, and classic Oregon Trail games. It leads a group of ‘heroes’ into the depths of a vast and mythic steppe filled with the detritus of time and space and fuzzy riffs.

Would buy from again. a+
Amazing art design, amazing setting, love the travel rules. Can't wait to combine this with Our Golden Age and the Vaults of Vaarn. Should be fun.
Excellent quality product, beautiful and incredible work of art
Unfortunately, these days I don’t have a table to play with, so I am more of a passive enjoyer of RPG books. I am definitely enjoying this one. The art is great. The ideas are delightfully wacky.
Awesome thanks! Glad your deliveries are in full swing again.
Can’t wait to get started with this!
Rich, fantastic, toxic and astonishing. A complete journey for players, that want to be amazed.
Phenomenal product and am so excited to run this as a setting in an upcomung campagin!!
UVG2e is a great product!
Pure genius
This is a beautiful book that is a joy to read in print. Cannot recommend enough. The art, writing, and game mechanics are all delightful.
These are my comments. This is my review. I like this game.
TL:DR Beautiful book w/ great quality. Adventure lacks much to be desired, in regards to running simply and smoothly.
The artwork and the production quality are absolutely amazing. There’s no arguing that what you get what you pay for in regards to a beautiful book and accessories.
My gripe is with the practicality of running the said adventure. I don’t think it’s a matter of play style that makes this TTRPG difficult for GM’s to run. The Imbalance of extreme detail in rules/metric's/ for the order of exploring. Vs the vagueness of character creation options/npcs/location details/discoveries makes this adventure feel really heavy on managing tediums. like having the right amount of sacks for all the creatures that are transporting the caravan. The flowchart of caravan options and interactions.
As a GM, I don’t see that my players would love spending most of their time managing their resources and money and everything involving the caravan, compared to the actual exploration, RP, and combat.
I honestly want to give the book a 3 star review, but it makes for an enjoyable read and it’s a beautiful coffee table book. It doesn’t make for a pick up easy adventure to run without doing what i would say is days-weeks of prep.
As someone who both loves running rpgs and just sitting down and reading sourcebooks, this book scratches both itches. Amazing art & compelling worldbuilding.
This is such a great fun and wild module that feels equal parts Mad Max and Scavenger's Reign, and Kill 6 Billion Demons.. The world feels truly alien and wild, full of mysterious being and deadly creatures. The idea of adventuring as a caravan is well organized and thought out and creates a great way to mediate travel.
Excellent gamebook, UVG is an outstanding bit of roleplaying goodness. The art, the mechanics and the presentation are all great. The book itself was well made, great color and looks substantial enough to last a lifetime.
Full of crazy ideas that work well in a post apocalyptic, anything-goes setting.
I learned about UVG 2E through the Our Golden Age (OGA) crowdfunding campaign recently ending on Backerkit. The OGA art and setting got my attention, so UVG seemed like a nice thing to have while waiting for OGA to fulfill next year, and I have been quite pleased since it arrived. The setting is fascinating, and the accompanying art adds to the Moebius-like theme. It is an excellent streamlined system with a wealth of interesting random tables to help fill in gameplay — this also lends it to solo play as demonstrated in "UVG 4 reasons it a solo RPG textbook!!?? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtOdMRb3hEo]. The layout and the graphic design are very well done.
Up until this point, my favorite RPG systems/settings were Monte Cook Games' Invisible Sun, Numenera, and the Cypher System, but now UVG sits right alongside them. I tend to borrow between systems, so now I'm thinking of maybe something along the lines of "A Canticle for Leibowitz" [Walter M. Miller Jr.]mcampaign theme.
I love the world building of this universe, and the art is an absolute joy to look at!
I would appreciate a little more guidance/structure on how to run the adventure. I would also have put the section on referee mechanics in front of the chapters describing each point, but I think i could understand an argument for getting the flavor first
The pdf arrival was near-immediate, and I enjoyed going through it while awaiting the book proper. The book arrived in a timely manner, and shrink-wrapped, which makes it easier to put away until Christmas when I open it as a gift from one of my children.
Beautiful art, beautiful quality, beautiful potential awaits within these pages. What I love about the indie TTRPG Adventure space is that there are far and away talented folks who pour love into these books! Will be playing a version of this with friends and family and telling wacky stories of a caravan making it to the Black City!
Amazing work, highly inspirational!
A phenomenal artstyle and an engaging world
It’s a work of art. It’s also a great setting.
It's all about the art for me. Every page is decked out with bright trippy scenes from another world. Even if you never plan to run this, it's so fun to flip through and read snatches of descriptions and admire the pictures. And you could use the info on the referee screen to run a sophisticated pointcrawl in pretty much any system with just a few adjustments.
Super stoked to set my players free in this bizarre world they know nothing about.
A new setting...fantastic art...clear rules
Do not hesitate in getting this book if you’re thinking about it! The setting, writing, and illustrations in this book are all top notch work from Luka Rejec. The whole bundle is high quality. Exalted Funeral had it nicely packaged and delivered promptly. 👹
Shipped very quickly. Books are excellent, printed in very high quality, they look amazing.
Excellent art and layout. I love the ideas and creativity. If you enjoyed the old Heavy Metal movie, you'll enjoy this product.
After getting the first edition of UVG, this was an immediate purchase. This setting is one of my top favorites. The book is beautiful, with gorgeous art and a fantastic layout. It's fun and easy to consume. This is on the top of my next run list!
