The role that we have to assume is that of a Wanderer, a kind of traveler who will travel through The Shrouded Realm. We are talking about a region that has been covered by a dense gray fog and where beasts, corruption and evil beings roam freely.
A fanzine, a basic deck of cards, and a pair of six-sided dice are all we need to play. Of course, we don’t have to finish playing every session, so you can write down the data of the character and the state of the world to resume role-playing
There is no goal better than another. Anything goes, whether lurking in the Shadow or helping others with their problems. The combats have mechanics as simple as if we get a number higher than the difficulty of the enemy, we do damage; otherwise, we suffer it. The variety of attacks ranges from melee, ranged, or even magic against your enemies, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
