You play fabled Knights sworn to a Ruler. Each of you is born to a different walk of life, yet you’ve all been anointed by mysterious Seers as worthy of the vow. The Seers expect you to follow their bidding and play part in their Prophecies, while the lords and ladies housed across the Realm demand you fight, bleed, and die in their service.

The world is growing. Its trade and knowledge continue to expand. With every new road cities grow rich, old empires fall, and new ones rise from its ashes. All while the new faith ensures bloody peace.

Yet the land is old, and its Roots go deep…

What is this?

OMEN is a alternate ruleset to MythicBastionland that can also be used in conjunction with Trophy Dark and Trophy Gold. Other inspirations include AGON, EXILE, Stonetop, Daggerheart, and The Girls of the Genziana Hotel.

While the overarching premise and setting elements are based on Before Into the Odd, OMEN includes differing principles and alternate procedures for…

• Character creation
• Rolls and conflict resolution
• (Coming later) Travel
• (Coming later) Realm-making
• (Coming later) Myths

Overall, this ruleset places a higher emphasis on courtly drama and collaborative worldbuilding. It abdicates linear time-keeping and GM-centric prep in lieu of open-ended plotlines without set resolutions.

0.1 Draft

This 0.1 draft of OMEN is a bare-bones, plain text prototype. Time and interest may determine whether the project evolves into a more fleshed out state.
