**now includes the Bestiary and Solo Dungeon Crawl Guides with Dungeon rooms to roll randomly**
Swords 'n' Stones is an alternative Game guide for use on its own as a fantasy TTRPG [tabletop role playing game], or to add to enhance your current game. Game play and mechanics are similar [but not the same] to what you are already used to if you are already an RPG player. SnS is set in an alternate universe, Ambian, where humans do not naturally exist. Create your adventurer from any decade in Earth's history, any country and any race. Your adventurer will travel through the Veil to reach Ambian, not knowing who brought you to this universe, or why. Seek out answers, mix with the locals, engage in mystery, search for treasure, if need be fight off nasty monsters or locals that would see you enchained or eaten.
The Setting... Where in the multiverse is Ambian ....
“Imagine a world where humans are not only strangers but rare, gathered together in small groups, struggling and fighting to survive. The strangest part of this is not that humans enter this world through "the Veil," a portal of sorts, but that they enter from all times and places. If you are lucky enough to find a friendly face here it may be the face of a cowboy from 1880, a hoplite, or even one of Napoleons soldiers actually grateful to be here instead of freezing to death in the disasterous Russian campaign.
Welcome to the world of Ambian, where to an experienced fantasy RPG player, everything is both familiar and strange. If you are looking to play old-school D&D but want something a bit different to shake things up a bit, then you may want to give a try. "Swords 'n' Stones," by Tim Posynick https://www.instagram.com/ghtpsns/
All the familiar tropes and rules are there but....different. There exists beings like dwarves.... sort of, and elves...or are they Erufu with natural healing and elemental manipulation? There are orcs... or are they Dakru? Expert players and "rules lawyers" who know the rulebooks like the back of their hand beware, this is not your dad's D&D. Swords n Stones is rather rules light with quick character generation.
Most everything can be randomly rolled on tables for those who want to jump into play. In general PC's are all humans but any type of human from any time, place, or culture is allowed. To make things more interesting is that there are no Character Classes. Think of an archetype you want to play and develop your PC to be that. In Ambian only humans can wield the magic of "the stones." Here magic is in the very foundation of existence and humans can uniquely wield it. Do you want to wield healing magic? Cast a magic missle? Fight with a sword? Sneak and hide in the shadows? All of these? Then take that sword from the dead Dakru that just tried to kill you, pick up that glowing stone he was protecting and do it! Adventure is waiting! Happy gaming everyone! 😊 Josh K. @immersive_dungeon_delving
