The Gray Ladies
The D20 Cypher system used for this game is also the rail underneath Monte Cook Games’ Numenera and The Strange. It’s designed to be easy to learn, with a focus on narrative and character building over numbers. Character creation is, likewise, driven by the story, and some examples given include “I am an Inspired Speaker who Sees Beyond”, and “I am a Creative Explorer who Speaks for the Land.”
Looking over the quick start I was given to review, there are still things like stat blocks and alignments within the build, so there will be a lot of need to reference the book during gameplay. Combat gets a good chunk of space, but this is a bare bones piece, and I’m excited to dig into some of the less mechanical parts of this book.
