Echgallan Play Test Edition
 |
Rat Knight Games is proud to present Echgallan¸ the play test eidition of our original TTRPG system¸ A Game of Geste!
This book contains a complete fantasy role playing system ? A Game of Geste. There are eleven playable races and five professions. But a character is not limited by profession as character improvement is open¸ allowing one to develop a character in any way. Characters can learn to wield mighty weapons¸ work powerful magics¸ practice stealth and trickery¸ and survive in the wild places far from civilization.
A Game of Geste uses a d100 system for task resolution with both attributes and skills contributing to success. Skills are learned in themed packages called "arts" to ensure that a character will have an adequate assortment of skills relating to the subject of the art. Combat is designed to be dynamic with a fair amount of detail without needing to refer to numerous tables. The magic system allows for potentially unlimited magic use but every spell cast is a gamble that may exhaust some of a character's magical potential.
The land of Echgallan is presented as a stage upon which these rules may be put to the test. Echgallan is an island peopled by many races and nations. Some manage to live at peace with their neighbors while others are in constantly strife. Evil cults¸ barbaric orc hordes¸ savage goblins¸ an ambitious king¸ and a mysterious order of wizards all threaten the fragile peace of the island and provide ample opportunities for a group of adventurers to prove their mettle.
