Sword & Shadows
An FKR Sword and Sorcery TTRPG inspired by games such as Blood of Pangea by Old House Rules and the Loremaster TTRPG. This game aims to be a lightweight set of rules which follow these basic principles: Emphasis on playing the world, not the rules. Characters described with words, not numbers.Dice are rolled only when there is real risk and it is meaningful.Descriptive injury and conditions, not hit points.A simple core dice mechanism with enough flexibility to provide some variation for different challenges.A magic system that isn’t rigid, but has some rules/limitations/dangers to allow non-spellcasters to still be meaningful. * This game is currently in the beta stage and will be subject to change based on feedback.
