The Game
What is Legend in the Mist?
Legend In The Mist is a new tabletop roleplaying game engine with which you can play in any fantasy (or other) setting.
If you're craving more creative freedom in your TTRPG and you're tired of D&D clones, this game is for you.
What makes this game different?
You use simple, natural language words and phrases to describe your character, gear, conditions — anything.
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.
Like in any good story, your hero changes when they face their weaknesses or make tough decisions related to their core motivations.
The result?
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.
The tag system is so simple, yet so rich, starting from simple tags like "sword" or "strong" to tags that can bend fate itself.
With only words, anyone can read and understand the story of your characters. Here are some examples.
You're no longer boxed into a finite set of actions and classes supported by the rules. Free your imagination and tell the story you always wanted to tell.
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.
You're supported.
When you play Legend In The Mist, we got your back with every possible resource you might need to supplement your own creativity.
Solo & CO-Op (GM-less) play included
Built-in tools, guided systems, and dynamic oracles let you explore the game your way—whether you're playing alone or teaming up with others—so you can create rich stories, make meaningful decisions, and keep the adventure moving without ever needing a GM.

While the rules only amount to 25 pages (including the rich examples), the Core Book is packed with resources for Heroes and Narrators - from gear, to magic systems, monsters, an adventure, and even a comic book tutorial!
We split the Core Book into two volumes for easier handling, but it's still sold as a single book.
The Core Book
The Hero's Volume
Take Your First Steps With Legend In The Mist
The Core Book
The Narrator's Volume
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.
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.
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.

Only During LaunchFest
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.
Rustic Fantasy
The Setting Book
Never, ever have I been so captivated, so immersed, so inspired by the texts and illustrations of a game. The rules, the setting, and the overall presentation are like a dream... I am approaching my twilight years, and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this gift you have given to role-players around the world, this ray of light, full of creative joy, open-mindedness, maturity, dreaminess, and poetry. In times as dark as ours, every spark of genius restores faith in humanity.
