The Ever Watchful (TEW)

What is “The Ever Watchful”

#

The Ever Watchful is a PnP (Pen and Paper) role playing game, in which players form a group of adventurers, who set out to explore the world, solve mysteries, uncover secret plots, and fight for their cause. Perhaps it is best be described as improvisational roleplay guided by and a game master, probability experiments (in the form of dice rolls), and a set of rules. For The Ever Watchful, these rules are defined by the Finngard Game System.

A World Governed by Chance

#

The Finngard Game System is centred around rolling a 20-sided die (d20) to determine if events happen. For anything consequential happening during the adventure, a d20 is rolled to determine if and how the event happens. Characters, creatures, objects, and actions themselves have attributes that modify the probability of the event. Other dice, such as a 6-sided die (d6), are rolled to determine the consequences of an event that occurs. This is explained in detail in the handbook.
