Core Mechanic
Roll 2d6 + invoked tags. Characters have no numerical stats — instead they invoke narrative tags from their Mythos (legendary) and Logos (mundane) themes. 7–9 partial success, 10+ full success. Statuses replace HP on a 1–6 tier track.
Best For
Groups who want noir-style investigations in a modern city where characters channel mythological archetypes — balancing mundane lives with legendary powers.
Highlights
Tag system makes every character unique, investigation mechanics are well-designed, layered interplay between mythic and mundane identity
Considerations
Tag-based resolution takes adjustment from traditional RPGs, heavily tied to its urban noir setting, two-book format can feel expensive, prep-intensive for the MC
