The Inner Gate gathers the rules for conflict, travel, downtime, and the Gate System into one volume. It is the engine that the Open Gate and the forthcoming Hidden Gate expect you to use to tell your story.
Where the Open Gate describes the world and the people that walk it, the Inner Gate describes how to play. Every duel, every desperate run between gates resolves with the same d10 pool and the same five virtues that drive the rest of the story.
“The system has to vanish at the table. You should feel the choice, not the math.”
— The Tiny Dynasty
