Greetings,
Been scouring PbtA stuff for my needs and I’m oh so close… but not quite there. Basically looking for hopeful, adult high fantasy stuff akin to Tolkien, Dragonlance, Shaintar, etc. The closest I’ve found using PbtA is “Fellowship,” but it’s waaaay too stylized for my needs. When there are abilities called “Team Rocket” and cartoony marshmallow men on my playbook, I tend to shut off.
Sure, I could hack my own (asking nicely for the Fellowship raws would be a good start I guess), but that wouldn’t invest me in a supported game and it means (yet again) I’m having to dump effort into prep. There has to be something pre-existing out there that isn’t overly dark, gritty, and/or stylized for jokes, puns, snarkyness, and kids. I’d like a clean, professional, high fantasy product.
Any ideas?
edit: errr maybe just going for another ed. of Fellowship is the way to go. I guess it wouldn’t take much work to strip the stylized bits out. For a game that wants to be somewhat LotR, I don’t quite understand the art and grammar choices (I would have gone all Worlds Without Master in ‘tone’ twer it my game). But great game nonetheless.
