PLAY STYLE
Fiction-first sci-fi horror based on modern OSR-style principles that emphasises player creativity, balancing risk-reward, facing hard choices, investigation, exploration, problem solving, and when it comes to it, fast and lethal narrative-combat
And dealing with situations with free choice as opposed to a set story you are supposed to follow
Uses Theater of the Mind (verbal narration) supported with visuals when needed with no battle maps or miniatures
WHAT THIS IS NOT
- Complex character building
- Long complex combat using skills and feats and multiple actions
- Complex character creation or builds with XP and levelling up
- Battle maps with miniatures
- Using only the character sheet to over come problems and threats (skills etc)
