Willowlight Engine

Willowlight Engine is a tabletop roleplaying engine built for stories where hope is hard-won and the world remembers what you do.

The engine powers Wrath & Woe and the full Mount Ogden Gaming Company game line — dark fantasy, mortal stakes, and a world that pushes back. Characters are defined by what they believe and how they act on it. The world tracks the consequences. The fire holds, or it doesn't.

Core design:

• 3d6 resolution with a Luck Die shared between players and the Storyguide
• Identity-driven advancement through Convictions and Paths
• Three conflict domains — Physical, Mental, Social — using the same unified rules
• Corruption and consequence mechanics that make choices matter beyond the scene

Status: In active playtesting. SaltCon 2026. Full release to follow.
