The game is not designed to be a  doom-laden or blood-drenched horror RPG. Instead, our 'twist of evil' is  all about high stakes, suspense, misfortune, changes of pace, gritty  encounters and tough challenges.OGL<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tainted  uses OGL/ SRD content and original content to re-visit the Old School  or classic gameplay found in early versions of familiar tabletop RPGs.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The game draws on favorite monsters, classes and options from many OGL sources and adapts them to fit Old School play.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We've  taken great care to comply fully with OGL requirements. So much so that  the project has been digitally archived throughout to maintain a very  clear record of all OGL contributions.</li> </ul>Compatibility<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There  are no new-fangled combat mechanics or out-of-kilter spells and magic  items.

Well, not at first.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Taint  may involve characters in moments of madness, but this is about the  option of playing as anti-heroes rather than a free-for-all.</li> </ul>Streamlining<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There’s a single attack chart for all characters.
