Stomping Grounds is a modern gritty fantasy game from Aegis Studios using the Storypath Ultra System published by Onyx Path Publishing.

Stomping Grounds presents a world that until recently was exactly like our own. Six months ago, everything changed. Giants suddenly appeared in locations scattered around the globe. These giants were not quite like any described in legend or myth. They spoke a strange alien tongue, scrawled inscrutable symbols on buildings and trees, and violently retaliated against any attempt to interact with them. Fortunately, the giants all stayed within a few miles of where they were initially sighted.

World governments reacted differently to these strange beings. In the United States of America, where Stomping Grounds is set, the government chose to isolate what they perceived — and portrayed — as a hostile invasion force. The U.S. declared everything within a 25-mile radius of the five locations where giants had been spotted a no-man’s land and gave those living within that radius 24 hours to evacuate before the quarantine went into effect. Many did leave, abandoning their jobs and homes.

In Stomping Grounds, you and your group will tell stories about those who remained in the quarantine zones. The player characters must contend with a fantastic, sometimes horrific new normal including limited and dwindling resources, military blockades, and terrifying giants.

In this book you will find:

A basic overview of the Stomping Grounds setting including the various American quarantine zones. Each section focuses on how the area has dealt with quarantine and the prevailing attitudes and Motivation Paths in the zone. Notable gangs, cults, and other organizations active in each area are detailed as well.
New Edges, Paths, and character advancement options.
New bond mechanics, radio communication rules, crafting and scavenging mechanics, equipment, rules for communicating with giants, new maneuvers, Tricks, and more!
New antagonists and expanded antagonist Qualities.
Guidance for telling Stomping Grounds stories. Story hooks for each quarantine zone are provided as well as a handful of universal story hooks.
A short introductory adventure set in the Byron, Illinois quarantine zone. This story includes all three areas of action and gives the characters an opportunity to contend with both human and giant antagonists.
