GAME mechanics

  • Storytelling - In Olde Swords Reign, storytelling is at the heart of the gaming experience. Each session is a shared narrative where players, guided by the Game Master (GM), explore the world and develop their characters. The GM is responsible for painting the scenario, interacting with the players through vivid descriptions and imaginative challenges. Although the rules provide structure, the stories are born from the creativity of the participants and come to life with everyone's contribution.
  • Paper and pen - Despite being in the digital age, Olde Swords Reign embraces the old-fashioned charm of pen and paper. This fundamental mechanic translates into the creation of character sheets, campaign notes and inventory tracking. Some players keep notebooks full of stories, pieces of paper with treasures jotted down or even a diary of their adventures. This tangible practice not only helps with organization but also enriches the emotional experience of the game.
  • Data Scrolling - The randomness of dice rolls dictates many of the consequences in the game. Different types of dice (D20, D6, etc.) are used to decide the success or failure of players' actions, from epic combats to persuasive attempts. The tension when rolling the dice adds an unpredictable element that turns every action into a moment of interest and anticipation, where the fate of the characters can change instantly.
  • RPG (Role-Playing Game) - The role-playing mechanics in Olde Swords Reign encourage players to fully immerse themselves in their characters, making decisions based on the personality, background and abilities of their alter-egos. This role-playing game goes beyond fulfilling quests; it's about building narratives, developing relationships between characters and exploring moral dilemmas.
