RPG: Morgalad Fantasy – Try it for Free
This crunchy ruleset puts its focus on role playing and easy customization – take a look.
Independent publisher McNabb Games ran a successful Kickstarter for this ruleset last year, and now they’re let players try it out for free.
Morgalad is a fantasy RPG set in the Late Iron Age. It offers an old school crunchy design with a simple success/fail system that uses a dice pool mechanic. Character points gained in leveling up are used to upgrade and customize the dice pool. McNabb is planning on offering expansions that add new levels, creatures, and optional rules to the system. The overall goal is to [provide a good ruleset that allows players to shape their gaming world the way they want to.
A bit more on the mechanics:
The 4D6 System
The custom D6 system also allows players to roll 4 six sided dice (4D6). If a learned ability applies, they roll against a Difficulty Rating(DR) determined by the Host. If no learned ability applies, players will add +5 to the Difficulty Rating and roll an attribute challenge.
Magic and Combat
Magic is an arcane power channeled through those capable of learning to control it. Energy is utilized to keep up with spell use. Also magic has a chance to critically succeed or fumble.
The difficulty ratings range from easy, normal, difficult, advanced, and exceptional.
AdvertisementCombat works similar to spellcasting because it uses the standard 4d6 + any modifications vs opponents defenses. If the character’s actions exceeds their opponents defenses by 10 or more points then it is considered a critical success, and if the character fails by 10 or more points its considered a critical fumble.
