An interesting new fantasy roleplaying game from Moss Games caught my eye and it’s absolutely free, or technically “pay what you want” on DriveThruRPG, but it really looks mighty interesting. Tales of the Elder Days appears to be jam packed with content across its over 400 pages and could be a good fit for those looking for a crunchier rule system with loads of options. I’ll also mention that this isn’t your usual RPG freebie as the book is looked with illustrations and is very professionally presented. Plus… It’s FREE!
