Shelfside reviews Awaken Realms' Lands of Evershade prototype! Aiming to blend ttrpg and board game, this co-op adventure will have players create characters with an outright player's handbook and send them off in one of three different campaigns. With tons of dice rolling and grid based miniatures/standees combat, gameplay is simple yet interesting, using action cards for combat and skill check rolls in a CYOA exploration overworld where you'll read from a storybook!

![Important Shelfside Announcement!
We are announcing crazy special stuff for the channel! Its our 5th year running the channel, and with the hit of 40k subscribers, we wanted to celebrate. Ranging from new interns and merch, theres a lot of sketches in this video as well. The new shirts can probably help you play TI4 better, and roll better dice! Probably! And the coffee mug will make you super energized while playing! If you buy soon Daniel will personally hand deliver the items to you! We are also rehauling a bit of Patreon and providing YouTube memberships if you want to use cool emojis! Thanks Shelfside!
