Description
Throughout your time in WYRD, you will encounter new enemies, explore a variety of locations, uncover mysteries of the city, and grow in strength. See if you can reach the heart of this wretched city.
WYRD is a hexgrid-based strategic solo RPG. Welcome to the cursed, labyrinthine city of WYRD, where danger lurks alongside discovery and opportunity. Search for powerful, magical Wyrd stones. Befriend beings of all kinds and travel together. Tussle with beasts and fiends in dark alleyways and, afterward, buy a sketchy potion from a grinning stranger to heal yourself.
Like RUNE (the system upon which it was built) WYRD is a roguelike dark fantasy adventure for solitary players yearning to find a cool sword and kill something with it (rather than, say, players yearning to take the perspective of a sentient recipe). Unlike RUNE, WYRD is flexible. Move in any direction on your hexgrid. Gain experience, progress stats, and earn bonuses. Add adventuring companions and form a party whose health can be shared. Use powerful spells – Wyrd stones – as an alternative to items or weapons.
Game includes annotated quick-start instructions as well as plenty of details, tables, and generators for the maximum adventuring experience. Find armor modifiers for movement, rules for heightened enemy encounters as your party grows, a Location/Encounter/Modifier generator, a d66 table for loot, lists of bosses, spells, Wyrd stones, weirder discoveries, and so much more (along with plenty of evocative mystical illustrations by Evlyn Moreau).
