S2: Somewhere Somewhen is a narrative-first tabletop roleplaying game about discovery, consequence, and the stories we tell together.
Built on the S2 system, Rise of (n)Everglow introduces an asymmetric mechanic that pits cards against dice, foresight against momentum, and planning against improvisation. Characters don't just act. They predict, react, and reshape the flow of the story in cinematic beats.
This book is designed to be played, not studied. Character creation unfolds through fiction. Rules emphasize collaboration over hierarchy. Conflict is resolved through dramatic exchanges that feel as much like scenes as mechanics.
Inside, you'll find:
