Honestly, not a bad game. Once you add in feretory for the travel and hunting rules, you get a decent system thats pretty easy to pick up, and can please a lot of people. I don't think I'd call it OSR though

I dont know, I am fairly sure the creator is a total SJW. Then again thats most TTRPG companies nowadays. What do you think makes this system so good/bad?
>>548 Yeah, the creator is a bit of a SJW, but the game itself is fairly free of those political views. As for what I think makes the game good, 1.) the setting is a big one, I like that the game isn't as generic or catch all as something like D&D, OSE, Basic fantasy, when I play MB I play it for the dying world 2.) I like how saves are just tied to stats, less numbers to worry about 3) The monsters aren't generic.Even the goblin is different from any other game's goblin 4.) The classes are actually special, and not just your standard line up, and 2 characters of the same class can have different abilities which is something lacking from most of the b/x inspired osr games 5.) It's vagueness with some of the lore can be both helpful and hurtful to the game As for it's shittier elements 1.) No set encounter movement 2.) Sets itself up to be a point crawl, but doesn't have travel distances untill the zine was released 3.) the system isn't designed around high level play, nor does it have any so unless the world ends soon enough, the game could get stale. Over all, the system just feels different in a good way, and I like it as a gritty point crawl/dungeon crawler. I could go into more reasons why I like it, but this is just what came to me right now
>>549 That all sounds pretty neat. Can you tell me about the setting? is there a way to save the world?
>>550 The setting is the continent shown. It's surrounded by an endless sea. No islands, you sail off one end, you'll come back likely worse for wear by whatever forces are out there. There are 3 non heretical gods. Nechrubel, and the two, basilisks each with 2 heads Verhu the most important one predicts the travesties corectly time and time again, and talks of the worlds end whispered to him by Nerchubel . So everybody knows the end is coming, and the worlds in stagnation because of it. As for saving the world, the book is very vague on it, as it is many things, but there is a section on what the basilisks demand So in short, yes... if you want it to be saved. As for how the world ends 6 events randomly rolled for will happen 1 by 1. An event happens on the roll of a 1 on a die rolled each dawn (type of die chosen at the start of the campaign depending on how long you want things to last) the 7th time the word ends. The book is made in such a way that you're supposed to make your own interpretation. Personally I don't think the world can be saved. The basilisks are powerless to stop it and Nerchubel is the one in control, and he will end the world. The basilisks enjoy the worship and make demands to give people hope so they keep worshiping them and killing heritics. I have included the Free Bare Bones version of the game. It's every thing from the base book except the art, and the mini adventure.
