Basic Information

Usually best summed up as the Middle Ages with extra cheese.

Game and Story Use

  • The default setting archetype works perfectly for diving into games, especially one-shots.
  • Turning it on end, tweaking it a little, or giving it a head-to-toe deconstruction can help breathe new life into a fantasy game.
