ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
For as long as anyone can remember, at the end of winter, before the spring thaw, the villagers of Ravenhome would cart their old clothes, broken tools, and other discarded items and toss them over an outcrop of rock into a ravine known as Skunk Glen. One year, the Alderman convinced the others that they should change their custom – the rubbish and broken furniture could be piled high into a heap, and make a lovely bonfire for the spring festival! Little did they know a creature dwelled in a cave at the bottom of the glen, and when it heard it won’t be getting “new” clothes this year, it fumed and raged and swore to ruin this new spring festival. Fortunately, there was a group of people at the village that saved the day…
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Legend in the Mist is a rustic fantasy RPG based on the award-winning and groundbreaking narrative game engine of City of Mist.
Spin a fireside tale of unlikely villagers setting out on a quest into a greater unknown world, rife with peril and mystery, in the vein of The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, Princess Mononoke, and many other classic fantasy stories, or create your own legendary realms with the game’s open-ended system and one-roll-to-rule-them-all easy to learn gameplay.
