The Sun Also Rises $5.00

The Sun Also Rises: $5.00

Publisher: Morningstar Productions

Imagine an OSR inspired more by Tamora Pierce and Mercedes Lackey than Fritz Leiber and Robert Howard, where kindness pays as much as sharpened steel.

The Sun Also Rises is a “romantic fantasy” game, in the sense of being about fantastical stories without too much edge or grime. The world is not a safe place, by any means, but violence and treachery are by no means the only answers. With a simple 3d6+stat mechanic that uses advantage/disadvantage to avoid complicated factors, the story is never derailed by a need to pore over the rules.
