Iron Halberd
The game is an old school fantasy RPG designed specifically for ease of use and character-oriented progression without the need for classes. It features compatibility with OSR adventures, semi-random characters that are defined by their equipment loadouts chosen from a list provided to create diverse teams. Character creation involves random die rolls while also requiring player choices before all resulting characters can contribute effectively in game play. The core moment-to-moment rules are quick and lightweight but supplemented by subsystems for forging weapons, brewing potions or creating artefacts with followers as well, hiring workers and managing armies to progress towards more valuable resources such the treasure of your dungeon crawls during downtime periods before returning stealthily on random encounters while taking reaction rolls. It has an emphasis in its leveling system where experience is gained through acquiring treasures instead of levels which makes for a slower progression but allows players focus their attention elsewhere, like forging artifacts or building strongholds to gain points towards more powerful resources than equipment and artefacts that can be easily replaced with others as they break down over time. In terms of combat, the game utilizes abstract zone-based positioning while nonmages are reliable in both situations outside of battle where stealth is important for finding secrets like hidden treasure or valuable artifacts before returning to face enemies during random encounters when
