Dragon's Teeth - Player's Guide

This is a lite-to-medium heft tabletop role-playing game, inspired by the 5E System Reference Document, and drawing heavily from the M20 Fifth: Adamantine Edition "Microlite" game.

A few goals of Dragon's Teeth included:

• Simplifying class abilities, while still making them useful and flexible.
• Making powerful magic somewhat accessible to characters early in the game. Though, in a limited away, and at a price.
• Minimizing the constant tracking and tweaking of character advancement.

On this last point, the game uses a "tiers" system in place of character levels, and experience points are not tracked.  Part of the idea is that characters may stay at the same tier for long periods of time (possibly even indefinitely). The aim is to emphasize accomplishing goals (even far reaching ones) within the limitations of a given set of abilities, rather than constantly waiting for that next bump in power.

There may be some expansion later to promote lateral improvements in ability over longer campaigns, rather than more overt increases in power.

The O'RLY GUIDE to Basic Spellcraft for Fantasy Settings was intended for use with this project. However, GMs and players should feel free to substitute any list of spells from their preferred OSR/NSR fantasy adventure roleplaying system.
