Yarn

Volume I of the Favored is done. Yarn held up well, and I learned a lot. We ran it every other week for the most part, for about 10 months. 18 adventures with no rules modifications.

Now that we’re wrapping my campaign in our shared Traveller setting, I’m shifting to Symbaroum using Yarn rules.

This file is the second major revision, learning from the mass experiment that was the Favored. This has yet to be tested, and needs cleaning up, but in another six months I think it will be ready for use.

Update: This is Yarn as of July 2025. Bookmarked and ready for play. I will give the players a few options for genre and setting, or let them use the Imagining from the rules.

Update for August 2025: Mike suggested I consider a published setting for the Yarn 0.2 test. I plan to locate the game in Symbaroum, from Free League . This is the opposite of the Favored, because the fantasy tropes are well-established, albeit with a Swedish spin on them, while the Favored was a home-brew in system and setting. I will wait on Mistrathe Manor for now.
