From publisher blurb:
Perfect for the Forever GM that just wants to play!
Perfect for that group that can never seem to find a Forever GM!
Role playing is nothing more than telling a story. One person, the Tale Teller, works as a referee & guide telling the story, describing the setting & playing the people, monsters & creatures the characters find along their way. Each of the other players takes on a role of the hero & protagonist of the story. In the end, it’s just a group of friends weaving a story together.
"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results."
-Andrew Carnegie
Lores & Legends is a game designed to allow the group to weave a tale from just a few pieces of information, such as genre & basic plot. It’s up to the players to create characters, environments, & actions on the fly.
There is no right or wrong decisions & twists that a group can take. There shouldn’t be a preconceived notion of where the story is going, how it should end, or what will happen to the characters. The story should evolve naturally based on what the characters, as the group has made them, choose to do.
Stress & drama come from the uncertainty of the dice rolls & not knowing what the next person to describe the story is going to do.
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
-Helen Keller
Lores & Legends is a group-play supplement to the original Brains & Brawn Super Simple Table Top Role Playing System, &, as such, uses the basic game for the main set of rules.
The supplement here gives the guidelines to create a story with friends where there is no Tale Teller. It includes a simple story tracking sheet, & a handful of tables to help guide the players as they work through the story.
