You're a small group of adventurers who have just plundered the house of a sorcerer in the Amaranthine City.
Quote:
The City is all opulent towers of crystal and marble that seemed to grow overnight. They had, in fact, been summoned from some other place or time by the city's rulers; a cabal known as The Amaranthine Sorcerers. This order draws power from a mysterious patron who demands only a tithe of dreams from any within the metropolis. Now, either the wizards or their master grow ambitious and seek conquest of further realms.
Now you flee the sorceror's ethereal servants, who move through dreams. You need to find some kind of ward that will keep the servants away from your sleep. Your dreams grow increasingly strange and worrisome each time you sleep.

The Game System and Rules Version. I just read through the new release of Grimwild. Loving the rules. I'm a big fan of the Azag setting. Like most settings, you don't really have to buy that to enjoy the game. Trust me that it has evocative tables, eldritch locations and situations. Plenty of fun stuff for a good time.

Adult Content or Controversial Themes. Insomnia, dread, and whatever dream horrors you describe.

Lines and Veils. Graphic gore, torture, sexual assault all are LINES do not cross. Bloodshed, sex, and general cruelty are VEILS that may be alluded to but no detailed descriptions.

Sounds cool, I'm interested! I have Grimwild and Azag has been on my wishlist for awhile now so it gives me an excuse to maybe pick it up now lol.

Looks like an Indian culture fantasy setting :)

We have one interest and one comment that I don't know if @Nebula is interested, or not. I can run with a duet of players but would prefer 3–4.

I think this system shows promise for an epic fantasy. Near as I can tell it is infinitely scalable and with a mixture of archetypes and classless talent system it really promotes player creativity.

Tibbius is one of the best story tellers I have ever known. He just needs a few dedicated souls willing to risk it all for the narrative.

I have heard good things about Grimwild but I don't have the book. Same goes for the setting. However, I am interested in learning it and giving it a try.

Hi, I’ve taken a look at the system and it seems very interesting. I’d like to join the game.
