🗡 Distal is a high-fantasy d20 RPG focused on hardships, not heroes. Growth is fueled by the trials you endure during life as adventurers, and modern mechanics support a mix of tactical combat and cooperative storytelling.

** Things we care about... **
💠 Backstories that are fun to create and relevant to the story.
💠 Decisions that are meaningful, and near-death experiences that leave lasting scars.
💠 Characters that are expressed mechanically as well as narratively.

** Noteworthy Mechanics **
💠 Deathmarks are permanent scars gained with each brush with death. Accrue too many and face the sweet forever-sleep. Scars harden you, as well, making you less likely to fall in the future.
💠 Trials mark a character's progression. Undergo trials by enduring remarkable hardships, navigating no-win situations, or overcoming harrowing challenges. These are experiences, not experience points.
💠 Monsters use behaviors, not actions. This makes them easy to build and run encounters with, more fun to fight against, and gives each monster a unique place in the world.
💠 Willpower Die can be added to missed attacks or failed checks. Slaying enemies restores this combat-only resource, building momentum through a fight, and avoiding the dreaded cleanup phase.
💠 Armor buffers are rolled to reduce incoming damage. Rolling a 1 on an armor buffer reduces the die size by a step, and rolling a 1 on a d4 compromises the armor until repaired. Preventing damage is way more useful than healing it, in Distal.

🗡We designed Distal from the ground up to be super easy to jump into, build adventures for, and run for you and your friends... while being a deep, campaign-worthy system that you can play forever.
