THE ROAD
Hunger, thirst, warmth and dryness, tiredness and fear, counted and shown. Off, the game is what it was.
Gentle: beasts hit for three quarters and carry less. The Reach: as written. Hard: they hit for a third more and carry a fifth more. Takes hold on whatever spawns next; blows change at once.
Whether a die that lands is read to you in words, or shown with its numbers and modifiers.
The drawn panels at a threshold, a new country, a sealed thing put down.
THE PICTURE
Touch controls either way. ROOM lays the screens out as a desk would, which suits a tablet; CLOSE stacks them into one column, which suits a phone.

THE SHARED ROAD
Four maps, one Reach.
WHERE THE MIRE STOPPED WALKING
DARKCLAY
The Mire chose the losing side twice, walked into the Borrowed Lands, and swore never to have a side again. Five hundred years on, a worm-god stands sunk to the knees in the DarkClay with a voice in its mouth, and the town in its shadow is where the Mire stopped walking. Level by doing, not by number. The Reach does not care how you play it.
