Description
In the lands where the wind howls like a beast untamed, you forge your path. They say the gales here shape not just the land, but the very spirit of those who walk it. You are one of those souls, a wanderer amidst the churning skies and the earth that bites with frost.
Against the Wind is a solo+ fairytale-flavored sandbox for heroic, magical nomad-adventurers. The land is harsh and frozen. You are a lone wanderer, doing good deeds with your arcane knowledge. Go where you will, hero! Delve a dungeon and return with powerful artifacts! Explore the wilderness, mapping what you discover! Meet those in need, tell their stories, and use your powers to help wherever you can.
Game uses a modified version of the creator’s d6-based Push SRD, rewarding action and making rolls (and results) easy to interpret. Most importantly, Against the Wind is a game about heroes so players are invited (instead of required) to roll, using dice to add drama, chaos, and twists when it’s most-appropriate, storytelling-wise. Sneaking past a guard? Not dramatic, you succeed. Opening a book imbued with a hidden spell? Dramatic! Roll!
Against the Wind plays solo or multiplayer co-op (GMless). Book is full color and contains heaps of vibe-setting, deliciously folkloric illustrations. It includes 60+ tables for locations, challenges, features, people, and more. It also includes 19 character-specific tables for everything from ordinary traits (like background and skills) to wilder stuff like animal features, plant features, voice quality, and attire.
