 INTRODUCTION
-This is a sword & sorcery 2d6 RPG system designed for casual play, accommodating 1
to 5 players alongside a gamemaster. It utilizes light, minimalist, and adaptable rules
that facilitate rulings, negotiations between the gamemaster and players, as well as
improvisation.

-The goal of this system is to be easy, quick, dynamic, and action/drama-oriented.

-This system emphasizes DIY (do it yourself) philosophy, encouraging you to create
and adapt your own house rules, monsters, items, treasures, tables, and adventures.

-This system draws inspiration from PBTA and OSR RPG games, incorporating many of
its rules, ideas, and principles.

-This system is not directly compatible with modern or old editions of other famous
RPGs, and some adjustments and conversions will be necessary (usually these
conversions will be very straightforward).

-The adventurers are competent at what they do from the first levels, but they aren’t
superheroes nor immortals. This game is more lethal than modern RPG editions but
less lethal than oldschool games. A healthy mix between the two kinds of games.

-All characters start with 6 HP and gain few HP when leveling up, so there's less HP
and power scaling.

-Armor is important and deteriorates over time.

-Magic spells are free-form (open-ended), but spellcasting is always risky, dangerous
and unpredictable, also causing corruption, which can even lead to the loss of the
character. Corruption is difficult to recover from, so it's always necessary to weigh the
risk/reward when using magic.

-The attribute check system is based on PBTA games: you roll 2d6+attribute, with [6-]
being a failure, [7-9] a partial success, and [10+] a complete success.

-The gamemaster presents situations and events for characters to face, reacting to
their choices and to the dice rolls results (player-faced game). The gamemaster rarely
rolls dice (exceptions: random encounters, morale checks, and reactions tests).

-Feel free to tweak these rules and adapt this game to your table.
