Worlds collide in our 5E/Legend in the Mist crossover stream, featuring special guest Dungeon Dad along with Game Creator Amit Moshe and MC Kevin Carpenter. Join us Thursday, 4pm ET!
Hey all,
I'm Amit, creator of Legend In The Mist (LitM) and founder of Son of Oak Game Studio.
I'm 45, I live in Boston with my husbear Mark, and I just had a delicious chocolate croissant (I know, it's not what it's called) from a great local bakery/coffeeshop (Tatte).
So with that covered, I'm ready to answer any questions you may have, especially about Son of Oak, our games, the Mist Engine with its stateless tag-based mechanics, future plans, Legend In The Mist and its creation process, the Hearts of Ravnesdale setting, indie publishing or anything really.
About Legend In The Mist
If you haven't been following, Legend In The Mist is a rustic fantasy TTRPG that is also a universal, description-based game engine which can support any fantasy (or other) setting and includes solo/GMless play in the core rules. It was Kickstarted in 2024 to the tune of $855,000, was voted 2025's Most Anticipated TTRPG, and was the Top-Rated TTRPG of 2025 on DriveThruRPG (the most 5-star reviews). You can try it with the free comic book tutorial , a free quickstart (demo) game, as well as a free 5e crossover guide.
LaunchFest!
Legend In The Mist coming in print next month (yay!) and we're having a big party to welcome it, titled LaunchFest, with daily content drops and lots of events. Ending June 17th, LaunchFest is the last chance to preorder the game at up to 40% off retail price after which you get an instant download of the PDFs and can start playing.

Thank You!
The TTRPG community's reaction to Legend In The Mist has really touched the Son of Oak team so deeply (myself, Alejandra, Eran, Manuel, Kelly, Itamar, we're too many to list...). As creators, especially of a game that's quite different from traditional RPGs, we were just incredibly delighted to find so many players wanted that - a simple, narrative, yet highly flexible and customizable game, where you choose the crunch level in every action and where any conflict can take center stage, combat or not.
This week I was really moved by this review by Darren on DriveThruRPG:
>It took a while to work out the rules, which did not seem anywhere near as easy to follow as the book proclaimed. But, wow, when it clicked this product suddenly became fabulous. Character creation is adorable. Superbly presented. I think this is the best game in decades.
Switching to a statless, classless game is definitely a paradigm shift for most traditional TTRPG players (not so much for new players, we've found!), but I was so thrilled that Darren found the magic and creative freedom that await once you make that leap...
Anyway - now to your questions!
Join us as we celebrate the coming arrival of Legend In The Mist in print this June, with a weeks-long online event - LAUNCHFEST!
This is also the last chance to pre-order the game that captivated so many players worldwide, sold some $1,750,000 worth of books before hitting stores, and was the #1 rated game on DriveThruRPG for its digital release!
Enjoy up to 40% off compared to post-fest pricing, download the PDFs instantly, and jump on the treasure-laden Peddler’s Cart, with free daily drops for all orders!
