NOW AVAILABLE - Under the desert sun, a Qán adventure!

Now available from JAY Games - Under the desert sun™, a Qán adventure™ !

Our first published story - A one-shot Play experience

It's been 5,000 years since the rains returned to the desert wastes of Taraz...

No one knows why the rains came back, but they brought a group of people, the Qán, with them.

And possibly something more... something darker... that leads some to question if the rains came back or were forced back.

Rumors swirl, people go missing, and we begin and end in Kazgar, the main port city of Taraz where everything will come together.

With maps powered by Inkarnate - Character art by Celestine Nox/Dale Ziemianski - Weapon art by Ty Ferrell - Playable online on your favorite platform or in-person - Experience high fantasy like you've never seen it before... Turkic style. Oh, and every purchase means our artists receive a direct profit share - so you're directly supporting artists by purchasing from JAY Games!
