The Game

What is Legend in the Mist?

Legend In The Mist is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game that replaces stats with tags, and unchains your creativity, whether you play solo or in a group.

Create and play an adventure that feels like a fireside tale:

  • Journey across land
  • Heartfelt scenes by the campfire
  • Explore your Hero's backstory and moral choices
  • Encounter strange Creatures that make you wonder
  • Feel like magic is mysterious again
  • Save the day in more ways than just fighting

Legend-Like Encounters

The Creatures You'll Meet...

  • Witches & Hags

  • fallen godlings

  • powerful thaumaturges

  • house hobs & boggarts

  • Insular Village Folk

  • Cursed Shrines

  • Forest Spirits

  • Legendary Beasts

  • Wandering Knights

What makes this game different?

  • It runs on tags, not stats.

    You use simple, natural language words and phrases to describe your character, gear, conditions — anything.

  • One roll rules them all.

    There is just one roll in this game, 2d6+tags, and it cleverly produces your action's success, impact, and Consequences out of your tags.

  • Characters grow through roleplay.

    Like in any good story, your hero changes when they face their weaknesses or make tough decisions related to their core motivations.

The result?

  • Literally Anyone Can Play It.

    Your group of TTRPG veterans, your kids, your board game friends, your nerdy spouse that doesn't like D&D, or your grandparents — if they can read, they're in.

  • Instant to learn, infinite depth.

    The tag system is so simple, yet so rich, starting from simple tags like "sword" or "strong" to tags that can bend fate itself.

  • A character sheet that's actually readable.

    With only words, anyone can read and understand the story of your characters. Here are some examples.

  • Refreshing creative freedom.

    You're no longer boxed into a finite set of actions and classes. Free your imagination and tell the story you always wanted to tell.

  • You control the crunch.

    The core roll has three optional phases - describe, roll, spend - so you can choose when to breeze through a scene and when to get tactical.

An exquisitely illustrated tutorial that takes you through a solo mini-adventure to teach you the system [...] Once you’ve gone through it, you’ve got about ninety percent of the game down. Seriously, it’s that easy.

Ari DriveThruRPG Review

The hidden gems are in the Narrator section that contains easy and step by step guides for writing adventures and full campaigns using this system.

Jean DriveThruRPG Review

The artwork in the book is enough to merit a purchase, on its own. If you're a fan of Studio Ghibli or richly illustrated comic books, you'll find this worthy to sit atop your coffee table.

BeefBrain DriveThruRPG Review

$49.95

An original rustic fantasy setting and campaign for Legend In The Mist, this book explores the Dales, the remote mountain region that is home to brave and kind but ultimately unaware folk – farmers, hunters, and peddlers – and the strange, cunning, and fantastical Creatures of Twilight that besiege their lives and toy with their destinies.
