What's In Darkest Warrens all about?
- Rulings, not rules: IDW doesn't give you every rule you need (it's only 4 pages, after all) so players and referees are expected to be interpretive and creative when it comes to rules that aren't covered.
- Player creativity over character stats: There are no lists of skills and feats in the game. Players will rely on their ingenuity and lateral thinking to overcome challenges. Referees will reward cleverness and creativity.
- Easily compatable with old school material: IDW rules are hyperlite, making it easy to run your favourite adventures with minimal fuss.
- Simple to run: You can read over the rules and hit the table in a short space of time. The rules are easy to remember, too.
If you're a fan of the original game, here are some of the changes made to the basic rules:
- Creatures in the bestiary no longer have to use an action to use their abilities - most have innate special rules now
- Mages and Barbarians can now only wear hide armour, but Barbarians have increased in wounds
- Advanced combat has been cleaned up to get rid of a couple of troublesome rules
- Gain 2 wounds when levelling rather than 1. Also some xp reward levels have changed
- Death rules have changed to increase game tension
