Thank you so much for your viewership and subscriptions.
For those wondering , the game doesnt use year zero engine because its not (originally) a free league game, its made by a company called Järnringen that later merged with Free League. Its a different team and a different system thou
A truly wonderful game world and a robust rules system. It gets tricky as the characters rise to higher skill; if they specialise wisely, it can seriously unbalance some encounters and require cunning GM play to prevent. But overall top 3 TTRPG for myself.
Great timing on this! I'm looking to ditch D&D/WotC and this is the first one that really caught my eye!
Thanks, TL! I appreciate it.
I like the setting how different Elves are from average fantasy.
Oh yeah, for sure. This setting feels so rich and deep. And the different races/cultures clash against each other in such interesting ways.
@@WorldofGameDesign I'm trying to set something akin on my own settings.
More like traditional Norse Elves but also The Witcher elves
Great overview of the rules. I'm waiting for my Core Rulebook to come in and now I am armed with a lot of foreknowledge. Thanks for this!
It continues to be one of my favorite systems.
Thank you for this video. We had originally decided to play the 5e conversion of this but decided to switch to the old school rules two days before session zero. This quickly taught me the basics and quickly let me wrap my head around the system. I went from having no clue how the system worked to having a character sheet ready to go in less than an hour.
Glad I could help!
I love your grin when you bring up death and dying. 😀
I mean, I gotta keep on brand.
love the hat had to mention that as I watch the video. I have the books looking at running this after our heavly modfied Curse of Strahd game. Thanks for the Video!
Absolutely, and thanks for the hat compliment - those are my favorite kind! Enjoy your Strahd!
The setting is excellent, the only other fantasy setting I enjoy as much would be Runequest's Glorantha. Both very deep lore.
Great overview of the rules.
Free League are one of my current favourite publishers, very good production values and customer support. The books are gorgeous, Symbaroum especially, with continuity of art throughout systems. Vaesen is also excellent, Coriolis is too.
Couldn't agree more! I've got all their stuff and anything they put out in the future is an insta-buy for me.

Most OSR game system of all time !
Thanks, i've been looking for a direct video like this for a while :)
No problem! Glad I could help. - Zac
Really nice overview! This is helpful for learning and I'm digging the lore, thank you!
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Oh the d20 reminds me of playing Fallout TTRPG. Gosh, that system is so easily broken, but it's so wonderfully snappy that you can get a lot done in one game. Except shopping, that always bigs down a game. 🤣
Nice overview. Thanks. On the bookshelf with the dragon and the 5e books, you have a small book with a red spine, sitting horizontally on the shelf below the 5e books. Immediately under that red spined book, there are three other small books that look like they might be from the same set. May I ask what they are please? They look like a set of novels I illustrated the covers for, but I've never seen anyone else with those books.
Hey Antmanbrooks!
Those are Forgotten Realms books, specifically the Drizzt Homeland series, I believe.
The one thing I am still confused about is the armor dice. Light armour had a D4 armor die. Does that mean you automatically block 4 damage or do you roll a D4 to see how much you block?
You would roll a d4 and see how much you block.
@@WorldofGameDesign that’s what I thought. Appreciate the reply.
Good review and to the point.
Thanks!
Great overview!
Thanks, Carlos!
Sounds interesting, but I ain't a big fan of race restrictions because it can get a bit too racialist though I get the reason for it and not big fan of having rigid slots for your character. It does sound interesting though, and I love that the UA-cam video says Skyrim LMAO. Do like the shadow and corruption because it also reminds me of Cyberpsychosis in Cyberpunk and I do like that in fantasy - a real cost. The other element is the strictness on healing which is similar to how Cyberpunk was restrictive on heals
Racialist?
Lots of Gurps in there
