What it is about
Realms: Etria is a solo (or 2-player) narrative roleplaying game with six pre-made settings to choose from. It combines elements of journalling and dice-based games to create a gm-less system. It is flexible but focuses on narrative by having you draw and describe scene cards. You don't need to plan sessions in advance because the story is generated as you go along. The system is inspired by games like Numenera, Colostle, The Story Engine, Ex Novo and countless journalling-esque games. Etria is a world forever changed by the Cataclysm. Once a popular space-travel destination, the minds and land of Etrians were wiped clean; little remains of the memories of the Before. People instead focus on the here and now, adventuring across the vast continent in search of technology no one knows how to use or make; they call it magi-tech.
