At The Crossroads, Dark And Low
"At The Crossroads, Dark And Low" inverts its progenitor's core resolution mechanic and turns it to darker and stranger purposes. The core resolution mechanic is not about success or failure but, rather, narrative control.   - excerpt from an ancient folk song "At The Crossroads, Dark And Low" is a tabletop roleplaying and storytelling game of cloaks, daggers, and, lest we forget, unspeakable powers granted to a select few by a mysterious, seemingly amoral entity for reasons unknown.
