Journeys Into the Unknown
A point buy adventure game set in a world inspired by OSR and B/X games, where players create characters without classes or advanced character creation options with four stats (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom), low health points at 0 but no saves to avoid dying too quickly. The player explores the unknown while progressing through 10 different race types each starting their journey independently of another's storyline until meeting in-game death which is determined by a random roll and there are only two booklet per referee for tracking equipment with item slots that can be traded between characters, gear equipped on character sheets to track encumbrance using die rolls. There are no rolling dice or saving points as the game focuses solely on player skill through descriptions of various skills learned throughout their journey in this world without classes and encounters 64 spells found while adventuring which must also have two booklet per referee for players themselves with all-important equipment tracking along character sheets, gear equipped just like item slots.
