It’s free to download on itch io! https://coen-balkestein.itch.io/tellan

Tellan is a rules-light, funky, free-form RPG system focused on narrative. It strives to capture the heart of epic storytelling and thrilling battles with simple, fast-paced combat rules and built-in roleplaying hooks. The system is still in development, and I’m very interested in feedback and playtesting. If you have any thoughts to share, I’d love to hear them! :^)

Oh, and Tellan is licensed under Creative Commons, so you’re free to hack it or adapt it into your own system!

One thing I highly recommend is a starter adventure/campaign. It’s very difficult to learn to play, learn to GM, coach players, AND learn how to structure encounters all at once.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try and think of one to include in the near future!

It’s my main criticism with Fate and why I haven’t played.
