introduction

The firmament from which all men are born, live, and die is an abnormal spheroid of water and soil spinning in a central orbit to an ancient sun. Beneath its crust lie vast dark realms of the unknown. On its surface men of this place vary widely in appearance, culture, and religion. Little is known of the origin of this place's name just that despite their diversity, all men call it the same name: Sigg. As one on earth would refer to the “world”, those on Sigg refer to the “Wheel”. The Wheel is made of myth - magic, monsters, prophecies, and symbols. The Wheel is in a perpetual middle age, one where formational ancient origin and modern rationalism meet, churning through the cosmos alternating in different states of superiority.

how to play

The referee makes a realistic and believable world for the players to enjoy and explore. He will provide you, the player, with a description of a scene or result of another player's action. You will respond to the referee with the action of your character. The referee may clarify your action, provide you with a tough choice, or explain why that action may not be possible in the given situation. You will respond with further actions.

creating a character

Follow the steps below to create your character. Record your race, class, alignment, abilities, and equipment on your character sheet and speak to the referee to complete the process.

what is a character sheet?

abilities

The predisposition of a character’s physical and mental makeup. Determine abilities by rolling 3d6 for each.

high & low abilities

Some characters end up with exceptionally high or low abilities. Low abilities should be marked with a -1; high scores with a +1 next to the score. e.g. 5 (-1) or 13 (+1).

• Low: 8 or less
• High: 13+

race

The appearance related to the origins of the character. Pick one.

class

The role the character fills in adventures. Your selected race may restrict your option.

prime requisite

The main statistic that indicates success for each class. If your prime requisite for your selected class is very low, you will suffer a penalty to advancement. If it is exceptionally high, you will advance at a increased rate.

alignment

How the character aligns themselves on the cosmic scale. Pick one.

• Law: Seek to advance the forces of order.
• Neutrality: No intentional participation in support of cosmic forces.
• Chaos: Seek to advance the forces of entropy.

languages

The tongues spoken by men, monsters, and other creatures. You start with a language spoken by your race and a language known only to those with your alignment. You may select 1 additional language for every point above 10 in INT. e.g. a character with 13 INT would get 3 additional languages.

* Language of men. 20% chance for non-humans to know.

** Speak to the referee to determine what this will be.

starter pack

Select a starter pack that correlates to your class and record the items and their weights on your character sheet. (Items marked with a "*" are adventuring gear and weigh a combined 80.) In addition to the selected pack each character gets 1d6 gold pieces.
