For those wondering , the game doesnt use year zero engine because its not (originally) a free league game, its made by a company called Järnringen that later merged with Free League. Its a different team and a different system thou

A truly wonderful game world and a robust rules system. It gets tricky as the characters rise to higher skill; if they specialise wisely, it can seriously unbalance some encounters and require cunning GM play to prevent. But overall top 3 TTRPG for myself.

Great overview of the rules. I'm waiting for my Core Rulebook to come in and now I am armed with a lot of foreknowledge. Thanks for this!

It continues to be one of my favorite systems.

Thank you for this video. We had originally decided to play the 5e conversion of this but decided to switch to the old school rules two days before session zero. This quickly taught me the basics and quickly let me wrap my head around the system. I went from having no clue how the system worked to having a character sheet ready to go in less than an hour.

I like the setting how different Elves are from average fantasy.

Oh yeah, for sure. This setting feels so rich and deep. And the different races/cultures clash against each other in such interesting ways.

More like traditional Norse Elves but also The Witcher elves

The setting is excellent, the only other fantasy setting I enjoy as much would be Runequest's Glorantha. Both very deep lore. Great overview of the rules. Free League are one of my current favourite publishers, very good production values and customer support. The books are gorgeous, Symbaroum especially, with continuity of art throughout systems. Vaesen is also excellent, Coriolis is too.

Changelings are magically changed by elves, then swapped for a human infant. The elfling is made to look like the human child it replaces and only starts showing its true nature as it matures. The human that is kidnapped is then raised by elves sort of like pets or servants.

Nice overview. Thanks. On the bookshelf with the dragon and the 5e books, you have a small book with a red spine, sitting horizontally on the shelf below the 5e books. Immediately under that red spined book, there are three other small books that look like they might be from the same set. May I ask what they are please? They look like a set of novels I illustrated the covers for, but I've never seen anyone else with those books.

Hey Antmanbrooks! Those are Forgotten Realms books, specifically the Drizzt Homeland series, I believe.

Oh the d20 reminds me of playing Fallout TTRPG. Gosh, that system is so easily broken, but it's so wonderfully snappy that you can get a lot done in one game. Except shopping, that always bigs down a game. 🤣

The one thing I am still confused about is the armor dice. Light armour had a D4 armor die. Does that mean you automatically block 4 damage or do you roll a D4 to see how much you block?

You would roll a d4 and see how much you block.

@@WorldofGameDesign that’s what I thought. Appreciate the reply.

Sounds interesting, but I ain't a big fan of race restrictions because it can get a bit too racialist though I get the reason for it and not big fan of having rigid slots for your character. It does sound interesting though, and I love that the KZread video says Skyrim LMAO. Do like the shadow and corruption because it also reminds me of Cyberpsychosis in Cyberpunk and I do like that in fantasy - a real cost. The other element is the strictness on healing which is similar to how Cyberpunk was restrictive on heals
