…a supermarket. Huge tree trunks
thrust up from the ground, shattering the floor and tearing down the
suspended ceiling and structure beyond, allowing sunlight to
penetrate. The aisles are choked with dirt and toppled goods, broken
glass bottle half buried in the loamy dirt on the floor, their
insides long since picked cleaned of any food. You recognise the
frozen section, shattered glass and wrecked freezer doors revealing
where the smell of meat once attracted visitors to plunder. There,
ahead is the tinned goods aisle, your goal. Rounding the corner you
confront a man sitting on the floor, clasping a tin in his hands.
His clothes are dirty, ragged and torn. He is so filthy that soil
seems to have penetrated his skin - his fingers are cracked and
black as he mimics opening the can he holds with a broken stick. He
turns to look at you with yellowed, feral eyes as you back away,
turn and run back to the others. The noise of scattered tins tells
you he's following...

Welcome to Summerland, a role-playing
game of desolation and redemption beneath the Sea of Leaves. The
time is now. The world has changed. The Event brought the Sea of
Leaves into our world, an immense forest that choked cities and
drowned civilisation overnight. From the trees came the Call, a lure
to the weak that decimated the population. In the aftermath only
pockets of humanity remain, resisting the woods' siren song. In the
endless forests lurk the Lost – whose wills were drowned by the Call
– and the Wild, who have forgotten they were ever human.

You
are one of a select few who can resist the Call. A Drifter, hardened
to the lure of the woods by the scars of the past, you cannot let
go. Your torment shields you, but drives your isolation. More than
anything you crave welcome in a community, but can never be truly
accepted without leaving behind your past. To do that, you must
confront and defeat the demons that haunt you. What will you risk
for redemption? Some paper, pens, friends and a handful of six-sided
dice are required to play Summerland, this edition has been expanded
with new rules explanations, new art and contains the supplement
'Fallen Leaves'.
