Described as an engine that might support stories in the style of <strong><em>The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time</em></strong>, and <strong><em>Princess Mononoke</em></strong>, you’re getting a tag based system without numeric stats. Instead, you use short descriptions that can be applied to your actions. If you tried <strong><em>City of Mist</em></strong>, this is an improvement over that version of the engine.

Described as an engine that might support stories in the style of [B][I]The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time[/I][/B], and [B][I]Princess Mononoke[/I][/B], you’re getting a tag based system without numeric stats. Instead, you use short descriptions that can be applied to your actions. If you tried [B][I]City of Mist[/I][/B], this is an improvement over that version of the engine. The game has a setting, [B][I]Hearts of Ravensdale[/I][/B], built on wonder over power or oddball encounters. If the sound of wondrous fantasy and narrative descriptions over stats speaks to you, check out this campaign page.
