HOW IT PLAYS - PLAYER

You build your character through race, nationality, skills and gear. At first, your skill arsenal is limited and you will rely a lot on manipulating situations to improve your odds. During the first sessions you will learn how to deal with the environment (biomes, darkness, traveling). It will feel challenging even before facing an opponent. Your confidence will depend on skills and gear combined. If you venture into a dark dungeon without a light source, your skills might prove useless, and your chance at surviving will shrink. If you underestimate the significance of cold weather, you will suffer from disease and your strength will fade. There are steps to becoming an adventurer, and you must take them all.​

HOW IT PLAYS - GAME MASTER

You build a sandbox campaign using locations and a map. You keep track of weather, and aspects of the characters like personality traits and bonds between them. You draw encounters according to biomes and create quests for the adventurers, taking them through dangerous terrains, bad weather and roaming monsters. Traveling uses extensive rules and creates opportunities for growth, both mechanically and in terms of roleplaying. Cities and kingdoms will adjust the theme of the game and will change how elements function. Magic, law and land shift rapidly and your players must learn to adjust in order to survive.
