CoreBest For
Groups wanting a family-friendly cooperative fantasy RPG that introduces sign language (ASL/BSL) and Deaf awareness through an enchanting Celtic-inspired setting.
Core Mechanic
Leader rolls 3d6 against target 11. Party members assist by describing how they use elemental Shaping (sign language-based magic), adding bonuses. Roll 17–18 is automatic success; 3–4 is automatic failure.
A leader rolls 3d6 against an 11, with others assisting through sign-language-based Shaping. The cooperative magic is the heart of this gentle, educational game.
