"Classic fantasy without the bloat. Light as a sword in a master's hand."
A reimagining of the classic Swedish RPG 'Drakar och Demoner' (1982). A light, fast fantasy system: roll d20, get under your skill. Combat on initiative cards, magic with misfire risk, growth through failure. 'D&D, if the Swedes made it in 2023.'
Misgarth — bright fantasy with dark undertones. Dragons, knights, dungeons — but with a Nordic flavor. Ducklings (duck-folk), orc-like half-orcs, classic elves and dwarves. The starter box includes a ready region, map, and campaign.
Card initiative
Every round — a new order by cards. Tactics shift on the fly, combat never becomes routine.
Risky magic
Spells require a roll. Failure = magic mishap. The consequences can be worse than the enemy.
Growth through failure
Skills improve from failures. The more you fail, the faster you learn. Elegant.
Best starter set
Cards, miniatures, dice, adventure — all in the box. Sit down and play in 20 minutes.
