City of Mist is a cinematic tabletop RPG where you play modern-day legends—ordinary people imbued with the powers of myths, fairy tales, and folklore. Think urban noir meets modern mythology. You’re solving mysteries and battling inner demons in a city that refuses to reveal its secrets.

Yes! City of Mist focuses on storytelling instead of complex math or stat-crunching. The Starter Box makes it easy to jump right in, with pre-made characters and a ready-to-run case (adventure). You’ll have everything you need to run your first City of Mist session, even if you’ve never played a TTRPG before.

City of Mist isn’t about hit points and damage rolls. It uses a narrative tag-based system that’s all about your character’s themes, personality, and story arcs. Instead of min-maxing stats, you’ll be focused on uncovering mysteries and delivering badass cinematic moments.

Any character, from a brutish bouncer to even a high school student, can have their place in any campaign. Each aspect of your background and backstory will help you solve mysteries and overcome challenges. The MC Toolkit will also help both new and experienced GMs in writing an excellent mystery.
