The Quest Machine
 |
NOW PAY WHAT YOU WANT! Gather your friends and embark on an epic quest. Classic fantasy sentiment¸ wrapped in a modern system that rewards quick thinking and improv¸ but also has some rules¸ let's call it rules medium.
A labor of love¸ inspired by the epic quests of my childhood such as Lord of the Rings¸ and Legend.
This tabletop role-playing game is about sacrificing all to achieve the goal. Testing the bonds between the fellowship. Finding small moments of triumph in the dark.
