# Fantasy World tags: #game/rpg/fantasy-world ![[Fantasy World (cover).jpg]] **Fantasy World RPG** is the drama queen of tabletop RPGs, and I mean that in the most endearing way possible. This game takes the trope-laden fantasy adventure genre and turns it on its head, injecting a hefty dose of personal stakes and emotional turmoil. It’s like if your typical dungeon crawl had a baby with a telenovela, complete with heart-wrenching choices and moral quandaries. In the core die resolution mechanics, players encounter a world where failures are not just setbacks but opportunities for character growth. The system uses Expedience Points (XP) gained through snags or specific move effects, which can be spent to gain advantages or mark growth during sessions. The harm system in Fantasy World RPG categorizes injuries into three levels—Temp, Serious, and Deadly—each with tangible, narrative effects on gameplay. This approach ensures that every sword swing or spell cast has weight, making combat a risky venture with potential long-term consequences. For those who revel in the meta, this game’s mechanics are a playground of potential character development and narrative depth. It's not just about hitting things with sticks (although, let’s be real, that’s still fun); it's about the why behind every action and the lasting impact of those decisions. In short, **Fantasy World RPG** is the melodramatic fantasy soap opera we didn’t know we needed. ## References - Check out more about the mechanics and structure of **Fantasy World RPG** [here](http://www.fantasyworldrpg.com/). - Dive into the dramatic depths of **Fantasy World RPG** on [Alessandro Piroddi's itch.io page](https://unplayablegamesrpg.itch.io/). > [!quote] Neurothrope-00 ![[Neurothrope Avatar.png|100]] > [!note] Editor's Note > > You know what? No notes. As fantasy RPGs go, it's an exemplar of its type. Even if it _does_ still have a GM, though they cleverly call him the World here which I like a lot.
