Description

Publisher's blurb:

This game is a classic dungeon crawler with a low power level and monsters based on Celtic, Norse, and Slavic mythology. It’s roughly the year 500 AD, on a fictional island off the coast of Ireland, where an isolated populace struggles to survive against dark powers.

It features a simple conflict resolution system (just roll under a target number on a d20), but has robust character creation. Instead of choosing a mage, cleric, or thief at character creation, simply pick the features you want to invest in as you level up. It also uses a unique Stat Dice mechanic, where your stats directly determine things like your Hit Die and you Damage Dice.

Finally, if you love the darker side of mythology, with horrific creatures of Celtic, Norse, and Slavic myth, you'll love the short, simple bestiary at the end.
