A world of ancient kingdoms, dark forests, and forgotten gods where heroes rise from ordinary origins to face world-ending threats. The central tension is survival against a cosmos that does not care: monsters hunger, dungeons collapse, and every ally has a price.
Sessions are driven by player choice and dice. You declare an action, the GM sets the stakes, and a d20 decides what happens. Combat is tactical and lethal in the early levels, epic and cinematic by the later ones. Lorewend improvises the world prose; the engine tracks every number with precision.

What drives it
Hit points, rests, and spell slots
Every fight costs resources: hit points drain, spell slots burn, and class abilities recharge only on a short or long rest. Drop to zero hit points and you start making death saving throws, three failures and the character is gone. The long road from level 1 to the high tiers demands that you husband your resources and choose your battles carefully.

How it plays
The systems you can ask for
Beyond the core 5e loop, the engine runs whole systems many tables skip. Ask your gamemaster for any of them — every number is enforced.
Multiclass & subclasses
Combine classes as you level; every class carries its subclass path.
Companions & mounts
Recruit allies who travel with you and fight at your side.
Guilds & factions
Join orders, earn rank and perks; rivals will not share you.
A living world
Weather, world events, quests, bounties, even property you can buy.
Craft & trade
Real prices, real carry weight, recipes, magic-item crafting.
Save & undo
Checkpoints let you roll the story back when a night goes wrong.
“The engine rolls the dice. You decide what is worth rolling for.”
