Mythic Bastionland is Chris McDowall's (Into the Odd, Electric Bastionland) triple ENNIE winning game (Gold for Best Art, Interior & Best Layout and Design, Silver for Product of the Year), about Arthurian Knights protecting a dream-like world.
The mechanics are super simple and quick to learn:
• we'll be rolling for characters (on a table of 72 knights) - be surprised! - and then jump straight into it!
• the core gameplay loop is a hexcrawl; you decide where to go, the dice decide what happens when you do so
• ability tests use a d20 roll-under-stat mechanic; but we only roll when absolutely necessary
• combat is swift and deadly; no to-hit, straight to damage!
• player skill over character skill; rulings over rules
