SKALD nails what so many RPGs miss: a WFRP-level grim and grounded atmosphere where every choice has weight and survival is never guaranteed. The writing is sharp, the world is oppressive and immersive, and the combat stays tense without any bloat or filler. If you want a dark, story-driven RPG with real personality and consequences, this is the one. I just hope they release the 2d6 tabletop rules someday, the setting deserves a pen-and-paper life too.
