Legend in the Mist - Corebook

Legend in the Mist is a narrative-first RPG for players who want a fantasy role-playing experience that feels like a fireside story, with heartfelt moments, exciting conflicts, and gasp-worthy character-altering consequences.

Rustic Fantasy

Spin a fireside tale of villagers and other unlikely heroes setting out on a quest into a greater unknown world, rife with peril and mystery.

• Unlikely heroes: Start off in your village or remote region and face grumpy neighbors or local drama.
• Journeys in the countryside and wilderness: Scout, explore, traverse landscapes dark or beautiful, discover ruins, or find forgotten landmarks.
• Camping and fellowship: Set camp, train, craft items and brew potions, and build relationships with your fellow travelers.
• Dangerous encounters: Face unscrupulous travelers and strange creatures, and learn about their sorcerous ways and weaknesses.
• Ancient lore, crafty factions: Discover the great world beyond, the powers that be, and the dark past that started it all.
• More than just battles: Overcome challenges through battle, magic, wits, physical feats, charm, cunning — or love, gossip, or great cooking.
• Carve your fate: Make hard choices that will shape you. Will you become the hero to save the realm, or just a traveler passing by?

The Game

Uniquely, Legend in the Mist is played using only tags and two dice, with no stats, calculations, or complex rules to memorize — making it perfect for players who love story in their games, and for newcomers to the hobby.

• Limitless character creation and actions
