Spiritsworn is a Role-Playing game with an emphasis on exploration, suspense, and supernatural elements. The goal of the game is entirely dependent on the story that the Narrator presents in conjunction with the players' decisions. The players will take control of a character of their creation within the world that is presented by the Narrator.
This game can be played with a Narrator and a single player, however it is recommended to have a group of 3-5 players. Spiritsworn can be played in a single sitting in which a short story is presented and reaches a conclusion in a single session or it can be played over multiple sessions that span an extended period of time before its conclusion.
Playing Spiritsworn is as simple as the Narrator presenting a scene with choices to be made, or obstacles to overcome, and it is up to the players to engage with the scene according to how their created character would realistically interact in that situation. Rolling dice is the mechanic used during the game in order to provide structure to the narrative by determining outcomes to player choices.
This game is primarily a narrative exercise for a group of people to be creative and tell a story together. Utilizing theater of the mind to set the scene means that very few resources are needed to pick up the game and play. The following are recommended to start playing:

Spiritsworn uses a game system created by Michael Castaneda to create dramatic scenes and ensure all players are involved in each moment. The dynamic combat system allows players to make attacks, utilize magic, defend allies, and much more even if it is not their turn. No more counting the minutes until it is your turn in combat again. With Spiritsworn, each player is rolling as much off their turn as they would during their turn. Additionally, the Spiritsworn System presents deadly combat regardless of which Tier of Play it is and what enemy the players are facing. This creates tense moments of suspense in almost every roll, allows creative choices to rewarded, and promotes synergistic builds between players.
While combat is certainly fast-paced and refreshing, the Social and Exploration aspects of the game shine just as bright. There are rules and guidelines for Reputation for those wishing to climb social ladders and gain advancements outside of leveling-up. Fashion, Crafting, Weather systems, encounter tables, Off-Path rules, base building, sporting events, and much more can be discovered in Spiritsworn. With many optional rules and a system than can be customized for any sort of style of play, Spiritsworn has something for everyone whether you are using a Premade Setting, or creating your own.
