Welcome to the Mist. Step through the gate to the Gloom of the Deep...
Swords of the Mist is a minimalist, rules-light role-playing game in the style of Free Kriegsspiel Revolution (FKR,) which was popular before DnD was born and is now going through a revival. It may seem extremely minimalistic to veteran roleplayers, but it should get new players that have never played RPGs before or veterans with a busy life that have no time to prep can get a game up and running in no time with this book. Fiction and World comes first over mechanics and system. In other words, "Rulings over Rules." In this version, it uses a D20+Skill Modifier resolution mechanics for simplicity and ease of play.
There are no classes, spell lists, languages, or currency. However, it does let you detail skills with some magic and equipments you come up with to a minimum that adds bonuses to a roll.
This has little setting with few lores, allowing you to come up with settings of your own or expand on what is in the book as a starting point. The default setting is a dangerous, misty continent with the Thousand Ruins littered everywhere.
Only takes a few minutes to learn from a few pages of reading, allowing you to jump right in and play with almost no prep!
...and best of all, it's 100% FREE!

Just read this over. Very short but very sweet! I'll have to give this a try solo using a single character.
Thank you! Please let me know how that goes! I'd love to know what solo rules you use to play with it.
Hello, i really like this.... i have two questions:
1 - how make enemies, have some template?
2- can i make a portuguese (brazil) translation of this ?
1. Enemies are made the same way as how you create player characters on page 2! For creating enemies quickly, you don't have to give them equipment unless if you want and maybe just 1 skill would be good enough for them.
2. Yes! You can translate this into Portuguese. Thank you!
thanks for the awnser :
