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.
