I'm High on Low Magic // Dragonbane TTRPG 

Yeah, you can also use Permanence to make it cast the same spell repeatedly. So this is a kind of magic item crafting (Like a wand, for example).

The English title for "Ärans väg" is "Path of Glory".

I've definitely noticed a generation gap. I'm 41 and grew up with the 1991 edition of Drakar och Demoner. To me, Dungeons and Dragons was that American game that flopped in Sweden in the 80's. It simply wasn't on my radar until a few years ago when I was invited to play D&D 5e (and later Pathfinder 1e) with a group of younger Swedes. They had discovered D&D through internet memes and popular media and weren't even aware of the long and rich history of Swedish TTRPGs.

What adventures have you been using, if any?

@@Indestructoboy Iv mostly been using the random creator that was included to make some McGuffin quests. Example Refugees were forced out of there woodland home be awakened spirits from an old tower deep in the wood. Party need to find an item to seal them back.

There are plans for a magic expansion. I'd guess it'll be the next one after the Path of Glory campaign. The magic box that was released in 1990 had 13 different schools of magic. It'll be interesting to see which ones they choose to reintroduce.

I noticed that after the upload to RU-vid, which also seems to have done some odd compression to the color.

Yes. Outside the box is written by Magnus Seter. Could be useful to know because there is another book with the same name which is about neoliberal capitalism

Also, my players were at first pumped with the “roll for improved Skills after every session” at first, but they soon became very bored with it. This is probably an issue of all of them coming from 5e/PF2 or 4e games where you have lots of Powers and Features to choose from. Only 1 Heroic Ability and then your skills slowly going up was underwhelming for them. But they fit the theme of the game very much. They just aren’t used to that style of game

I will also point out that the mechanisms or hard coded improvised items for encounters was awesome. Having that specific deck, and idea that there are pretty powerful items laying around to be used was fun. It almost brought in “tactical points” from more miniatures games. I, as the GM, would have the NPCs compete with them for getting access to these items often

Low Magic is a wide term with a range of meanings but it tends to mean magic, and it's users, are more rare in the world. Especially the amount of magic items floating around. Those magic items which are around tend to each be unique with their own history and named. Characters who can use magic are often shunned or illegal and believed to be potential trouble by the general populace. They tend to live in isolation or secrecy by default. With reason as magic is dangerous if done incorrectly or abused. There isn't "magitech" stuff around, for example magical flying ships, teleporters, etc being used. In other words, magic is unusual, mysterious, and something of exceptional note when you encounter it. Which the PCs surely will, being the protagonists. I prefer the "Sword & Sorcery" style of low magic setting in which it's a gritty cutthroat world with dangerous monsters, evil sorcerers, and wicked people calling upon demonic outsiders to further their goals. It's also human-centric so there aren't elves and other humanoids in that society. If they exist then they're the kind of devious outsiders from their own plane up to no good or, at best, with their own conflicting goals. i.e. Non-PCs.

My understanding is Moorcock gave them the go-ahead.

@@Indestructoboy the rights to the images are owned by Chaosium for their Stormbringer (Elric fifth edition) RPG but I wouldn't be surprised if Chaosium allowed the guys to use the art for free or low cost.

Sorry! I'll get that added. I thought Free League's soundtracks for these games come with permissions to use them on videos and streams without a problem. My bad.

@@Indestructoboy no problem what so ever. Yes they are free to use for any streaming/podcasting etc, just with proper crediting 😊 No offense taken. Again - great video 👌
