What is Heroes & Other Worlds?

Heroes & Other Worlds is a game of adventure inspired by Metagaming's classic Melee/Wizard/TFT system combined with inspiration from the Moldvay edited basic game. The rules are easy to learn and use standard six sided dice. The system is simple, sensible and flexible in the spirit of classic role playing games from the early 80's. Become a Hero, Other Worlds await!

Some Raedwald info

So let's talk a bit about how Raedwald is different from your regular game of Heroes & Other Worlds.

Levels
Yup 3 levels total for characters to advance in. Your XP still is used for improving skills but Gielp (Glory) measures your advancement in level. Gielp is gained by successfully completing missions and being rewarded by your lord.  The Glory (Gielp) you get from gifts/ rewards is the value that applies to raising your level!

Magic
Like HOW, you roll 3 dice and compare to your IQ+level, trying to roll under it.  Unlike HOW, the spells and magic work a little differently. Not all spells cost EN, and none of the spells from HOW or Magic Carta work. Only Wizards can learn spells and then only from their specific class! 

Also note, Magic does NOT level up like skills with XP, instead your Level is the bonus applied as a bonus to your casting attempts.  So level 1 adds +1, Level 2 adds +2 and level 3 adds +3. 

That's just a very high level look at what's to come!
