secrets under stone.
Secret's Understone is an easy-to-learn 2d6 skill system based on Advanced Fighting Fantasy and Troika! adapted for use with 3 Ability Score Systems (AS), character creation, knowledge acquisition through occult disciplines such as astrology, augury, and demonology. The game also offers a modular and flexible setting that draws inspiration from centuries of Gothic writing while maintaining its original focus in the realm of magic-realm exploration via contracts and dangerous Rituals with powerful patrons or studying to become proficient at arcane arts like Demonoogy. The first installment includes character creation, item descriptions (such as armor), example monsters/creatures using this system from Troika!, Patron rules for magical abilities tied into the game's lore, ritual magic that is available through study of specific occult disciplines and a range of different playstyles with its modular structure based on previous versions. Secret Understone aims to provide an enjoyable experience in which players can explore their characters' skillsets while immersing themselves fully in this dark Gothic fantasy role-playing game world, where mysterious knowledge is the key component that makes everything possible and hidden dangers lurk around every corner waiting for unsuspecting adventurers like you!
