GAME mechanics

  • Storytelling - Central to Forgotten Realms, storytelling involves the Dungeon Master (DM) weaving an immersive tapestry set in the vibrant Chult Peninsula. He guides the players through epic adventures, where improvisation and creativity are key to responding to the group's unexpected decisions.
  • Paper and pen - The simplicity of pen and paper is essential. Players write down vital details about their character, equipment and hit points. More than a simple record, it serves as a physical anchor in a fantasy world, allowing you to visualize your progress and plan your actions.
  • Data Scrolling - An element of suspense and luck, dice rolling determines outcomes in combats and interactions. Using multi-sided dice, this component connects strategy with the uncertainty of fate, creating moments of tension and relief as the numbers reveal the next step.
  • RPG (Role-Playing Game) - The essence of role-playing in Forgotten Realms lies in the embodiment of characters. More than taking on roles, players immerse themselves in their personal stories, developing personalities, translating motivations and creating interactions that enrich the game's narrative.
