What’s your favorite low-magic RPG? I’ve really enjoyed cepheus deluxe/sword of cepheus, world of dungeons and dungeon world, and whitehack isn’t bad either with spells costing HP.
What’s your favorite RPG where casting magic is risky or costly to the character?
Knave is my favourite. In order to cast a spell, a character has to read from a spell book that takes up one of their inventory slots. Each book can only be read once per day. You can be a pure spellcaster if you want to, but if you go that route you’re probably not equipped for any other activity.
