About the adventure

■■■ WELCOME TO THE DALES■■■ Join an immersive, highly produced Rated-R rustic fantasy story! -> Journey into idyllic communities whom are cast under the shadows of a past kingdom and mystic folklore through breathtaking scenes and atmospheric maps. -> Engage in theatrical dialogue with beautifully illustrated NPC's, each with fully acted voices. -> Enjoy a curated list of ambience, setting the mood of each session with painstaking detail. ■■■ WHAT IS LEGEND IN THE MIST ■■■ Inspired by media: The Lord of the Rings / The Wheel of Time _______________________________________________________________________ This game leans into a narrative-focused, rustic fantasy experience and is heavily inspired by folklore and epic fantasy. This is not a game frought with stats and math traditionally found in other TTRPG games. Instead, Legend in the Mist uses an elegant "tags" and "themes" system. You start with a number of "tags" under four of your "themes". These are descriptors to the four main facets of your character. When taking an action within the story, select however many "tags" fit with said action and roll two six sided dice. Add the result! The higher the result, the better the outcome! The lower the result, the greater the consequence... ■■■ A SHADOW IN THE BARLEY ■■■ Your quiet, pastoral village life is soon to be interrupted when an unnatural threat reveals itself. Rally together to protect your home! Follow the symptoms to find the source. Where will you stand, in the wake of the Old Ways?
