You reach a crossroads and stop for a moment to catch your breath and decide which way to go. "We must have taken a wrong turn somewhere," curses Puštík, an agile scout with his hood pulled low, squinting in the flickering light at a piece of charred parchment map. Suddenly, he looks up and presses a finger to his lips in warning. From the corridors behind you, you hear rough, noisy voices – the harsh, guttural speech of orcs…

A fantasy role-playing game that, as the name suggests, represents the sword and sorcery genre in its purest form. The game is known for its compactness, simple rules, and ease of preparation. It will delight all lovers of "old school" gaming and is also ideal for players new to role-playing games. The author's intent is a game that allows you to easily play through favorite adventures riddled with battles against orcs and skeletons, spellcasting, looting, and the traps of underground labyrinths, all with a bare minimum of rules.

The game system is based on the popular minimalist RPG Dungeon Squad. Although expanded and modified, it retains a similar level of abstraction as the original. There are no classic classes in the game; every character can learn to cast spells, shoot a bow, or fight with a sword. You can create a character that best suits your favorite playstyle. The characters themselves are not the main focus of the game – the greatest emphasis is placed on the players, who, thanks to the freedom of the system, can attempt practically anything with their characters. Players can overcome a multitude of puzzles, quests, and traps using their own wit and ingenuity without needing dozens of special abilities and skills.

The game comes in an A6-sized box containing the rulebook, a series of three adventures, and pre-generated characters for immediate play. Inside the box, you will also find character and enemy miniatures and a set of stylish decorative dice. Thanks to its size, it is perfect for travel; you can easily take it to your favorite tea room or pub.

Return to the roots of gaming and become heroes who wield magic and sword!
