The Legend in the Mist Corebook is a complete RPG that pulls you into a world of rustic fantasy filled with unexpected heroes and adventures. Forget complex stats and long calculations; the system focuses on storytelling and character development through a simple 2d6 tag system.

The World of Legend in the Mist

The game world of Legend in the Mist takes place after the fall of an advanced civilization. Only memories and ruins remain, scarred by the darkness that brought it to its knees. Yet, something is stirring in the distance, beckoning both adventurers and ordinary villagers. Prepare for a journey where you become an unlikely hero venturing into an unknown world full of danger and mystery. The game draws inspiration from works like The Lord of the Rings, Princess Mononoke, or The Wheel of Time.

A System for Every Narrator

The Legend in the Mist system is based on words and creativity, not numbers. Heroes and their stories evolve based on your decisions and actions during play. This allows for a wide range of character creation and actions, whether you prefer tactical challenges or cozy storytelling. The rules are designed so that even complete newcomers to the RPG genre can easily learn the game.

What You'll Find in the Corebook

The Corebook is split into two volumes (Hero and Narrator). Inside, you'll find everything you need to play:

• A 50-page comic tutorial that teaches you the basics of the game step-by-step.
• Rules for creating heroes and fellowships, including 30 ready-to-play archetypes and over 150 theme sets.
