Wanted to see if there was any interest or even awareness of this game here.
>One of my favorite rulesets that kind of sits at a midpoint between d20 and GURPS with a good bit of a crunch for a story game
<Too many name changes for standard rpg nomenclature (flametender instead of gamemaster, catalyst instead of player character).
>The setting is very imaginative and there is a wide variety of new species and reimagined classics.
<In fact there's too much info a lot of the time including culture, currency, who they will or wont fuck, etc. In fact this forces players a lot of the time to only play a select handful of species in a group as many species have a kill on sight policy with other species.
>The system has some pretty good expansion content going into the nature of divine/arcane magic as well as a great big manual of monsters and player character species.
<NO ARCANE/DIVINE MAGIC MECHANICS IN THE CORE BOOK

Its not made by the same guy if thats what your asking.
If your talking about the system I know that Burning wheel uses a dice pool and a bunch of simulationist maechanics.
WtRoF uses a 2d8 with exploding die system. The character creation is comparable to the (good) fallout games. Buy up your stats, skills, advantages/disadvantages and add your racial stuff and your good to go.

For once OP was not a faggot. Glancing over the book, the layout seems a bit odd and overall I get a kind of pretentious feeling from the writing, the races seem interesting enough though.

I actually got the books when they first came out and I enjoyed reading them. I am kinda surprised it did not garner more attraction considering Pelgan is literally the god of humanity and masculinity and wants you to purge all the inferior non human races from the world.

He still does the occasional video on his youtube channel, but I assume he wont publish anything more because I remember him saying that many of the books were already written and just needed to be edited or something in some of his old videos. I guess it was not the success he was hoping it would be given how much he talked it up before and now only does dnd and magic the gathering videos.

That's disappointing since the I really like the game system and the setting is very unpozzed (unless you count the evil dragon god literally pozzing and raping the goddess of virgins and unicorns).

Just a tip. After running the numbers through Anydice you want to set your base difficulty at 10. (the dice mechanics are 2d8 with exploding die except if you roll a 1 and an 8 and 1s count as 0)

Funnily enough I think that example highlights one of the strengths of the setting since you have the maiden who he rescued and now wants his dick while in another section there is a scorned maiden who he abandoned since guarding her was boring and he went to battle and she ended up getting beheaded. Now she became an edgy raven assassin that only seeks to stab him in the dick. And dichotomies like that are very prevalent and naturally come up when reading the books.

Sadly this might be a case where we take the fluff and just use GURPS or Fantasy Craft
