Sigils

I always liked Fighting Fantasy. This is kind of a bastard child of that, inspired by Troika! and Warlock! but completely its own thing. The rules presume an economy based on barter, gifts, and influence more than money; pre- or post-capitalist, either makes sense.

The selection of Skills and the emphasis on Standing give me a primitive feeling for a suitable setting. The magic rules also are directed that way - rhyming and writing, reading and riddling, are the elements of magic, as appropriate for cultures in the midst of developing written and spoken language.
