| Best For | Groups wanting a family-friendly cooperative fantasy RPG that introduces sign language (ASL/BSL) and Deaf awareness through an enchanting Celtic-inspired setting. | Groups who want dark, gritty fantasy where ordinary people face extraordinary dangers in a richly detailed setting. The career system creates unique character arcs from rat catcher to witch hunter. |
| Highlights | Teaches real sign language (ASL and BSL) through play, strong safety tools and consent framework, inclusive and family-friendly, unique cooperative focus where every player contributes to tests | The career system structures advancement around trades, moving a character through jobs that shape both skills and story. Success Levels measure how far a d100 test beats or misses its target, turning every roll into a degree of result. Advantage accumulates during a fight, rewarding momentum with stacking bonuses to attack tests. |
| Considerations | Very narrow appeal, minimal mechanical depth beyond the core roll, tightly bound to its specific setting, sign language component may not suit all groups | The rules assume the Old World setting, so moving WFRP elsewhere means reworking its careers and tone. Comparing tens digits for Success Levels on every test adds a math step that can slow combat. Advancement is career-gated, so a character often must finish or leave a career before branching into new skills. |
