Looking for a new adventure TTRPG to try?

WYRM is here. Rules-lite, OSR inspired play, with a Gila twist.

Grab the core rules, starter adventure, and starting sandbox hexcrawl, all PWYW.

Plus it has a killer cover, with more art coming.

Three figures commune beneath the branches of the holy tree Wormwood. Nestled in the branches and upward are stars, some of which connect in a small constellation.

My hot take after 15 hours with Arc Raiders: this game is 11/10 gorgeous... During half of the weather patterns.

*Town hall normam Rockwell guy* I think devs shouldn't make modes where the game looks bad.

Also, the STORY sections and OPEN sections are often repaired of their usual issues, so the Stories feel open enough and the Open experiences feel full enough.

But KCD2 gives both your restricted chapters and your open chapters such rich context that they land naturally and feed one another. I don't think this balance has ever been so smartly managed in a big open-world RPG. Its freedom isn't forced onto the world, it grows naturally from narrative design.
