After the gleaming empires of old fell to the sinister Gloom King, the Mucklands became a tired land riddled with dungeons and corporate greed. In the current “Dungeon Era”, greedy tycoons scramble for power at the expense of the environment and the people. They say this unruly world has no heroes, but they clearly haven’t met your party of whimsical wanderers.
Welcome to the Land of Eem, a fantasy roleplaying game that famously blends the epic scale of The Lord of the Rings with the anarchic, colourful humour of The Muppets. Published by Star & Flame Games and Exalted Funeral, this ENnie-award-winning system invites players of all ages to explore a sandbox world where being creative is just as important as swinging a sword.

Eem Collection – $17.95
For just $17.95, you can pick up the entire collection, which carries a total retail value of $75. This tier includes the following DRM-free ebooks:
- Land of Eem Core Rulebook (The 258-page heart of the game.)
- Mucklands Sandbox Campaign Setting (A massive 439-page hexcrawl filled with locations and rumours.)
- Bestiary V1 (Over 190 weird and wonderful adversaries.)
- Adventures in the Mucklands (Nine short scenarios to kickstart your journey.)
- Mucklands Book of Random Encounters (1,500 handcrafted encounters to keep GMs inspired.)
The Land of Eem is a standout in the modern indie scene, having secured three ENnie Awards in 2025, including Best Family Game and Best Production Values. Mechanically, it utilises a streamlined D12+modifier system that emphasises narrative interpretation over crunchy maths. Character creation is delightfully diverse, offering 16 playable Folk—including Bugbears, Skeletons, and Gelatinous Goos—and classes like the Loyal Chum and the Rascal.
The setting itself is a “Mucklands” sandbox that feels like a cross between Adventure Time and the classic “Without Number” games. Groups can tailor the tone of their campaign to suit their preference: “Hijinks” for a Labyrinth-style romp, “Derring-Do” for high fantasy, or “Doom & Gloom” for a more gritty, Mad Max vibe. With over 150 crafting components and recipes like Ettin Blood Sausage to discover, the level of detail in this world is truly staggering.
Whether you are navigating the corrupt politics of Fleabag County or dodging pirates on the Scalawag Strand, this bundle provides everything a GM needs for years of exploration. The focus on relationships, personal quests, and world-shaping abilities makes it an excellent choice for introducing younger players to the hobby, though the depth of the sandbox ensures veteran roleplayers will find plenty to sink their teeth into.
This offer is a fantastic way to secure the “current” edition of a critically acclaimed line. Grab your gear and get ready to clean up the Mucklands before the tycoons ruin everything.
The Land of Eem bundle is available until midnight Pacific time on Tuesday, 5 May. All files are provided as DRM-free ebooks.
