Core Mechanic

2d6 + skill + attribute ≥ target for skills; d20 + modifiers vs. AC for combat. OSR-inspired with modern refinements.

Best For

Sandbox fantasy campaigns with deep worldbuilding tools, faction turns, and an OSR-flavored system from the creator of Stars Without Number.

Highlights

Free version is very generous, comprehensive sandbox and worldbuilding tools, faction system, compatible with SWN

Considerations

OSR combat can feel basic compared to modern tactical systems, limited mechanical support for narrative or story-arc campaigns, no built-in social encounter system
