I welcome you to the official website called "The Stories of Legends"! It's a TTRPG I've been working on since 2019. I officially explained, and in a way released it, on May 5th 2025!

The Stories of Legends (Once called "The Story Game" & "Spiele") is a TTRPG (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, but also videogames like Undertale and Earthbound.

Because of its inspirations, the "game engine" works best in a modern-day setting. However, it can be adapted to fit any world you wish! Though I think the base game can work well in any scenario too.

This TTRPG is free to use in any way you wish, even homebrewing new things. I even encourage you to make your own things! The only thing current restriction is to not sell content from it.

This webpage is made to help you understand the TTRPG and to make your own campaigns. I know this is not the prettiest website, I'm not really good at web development, but I'll try my best to make it prettier in the future!

There might be some things missing, but I'll be sure to add it (hopefully). But you should have access to enough information to make your own campaign. Besides, the Don't Forget video is a great introduction as well!

Again, if you don't like something, like some game mechanics, you can always edit it for your campaign. Even removing a class for your campaign! It's your story, so tell it however you wish! Just be transparent to your group and all should be fine!

If something seems unclear, always be sure to look at the examples, as that might clear things up.

So, welcome! I cannot wait to see what legend you'll be or what worlds you will create that your legends will go through! What I'm sure of though, it'll be quite an adventure with infinite possibilities!

I would now suggest you what tab you should check out first, but I think you should search through the website on your own. So, have fun, legend. Just be sure to get out a notebook!... or not. It's your adventure after all!

If there is something confusing or I might've forgotten something, you can ask under the Syalps Stuff video introducting this website and I'll try to respond as fast as I can! I'll be sure to create an FAQ if there are enough repeated questions.

You can also tell me errors I did in the grammar. I want to be as clear as possible, which is hard sometimes, given english is not my native language.

Warning: It is not recommend to drink Maggi Seasoning in real life. It has a lot of salt and flavor enhancers. (Bad for you)

[Here is a 17 minute introduction to the TTRPG]

This website and TTRPG was entirely made by Syalp and is through that entirely owned by them (except for the name Maggi). So don't claim it as your own game.

However, like already said, you are allowed to make your own campaigns and homebrew your own ideas into it. But don't claim it as your own.

Maggi is owned by Nestle and the ingame counterpart has no connection to the actual seasoning, which is being sold in real life.

[Introduction]

Most of these are the standard stats that most (TT)RPGs have. However, game mechanics are always different from game to game. That's why I'm writing these down. In case people get confused.

Also because the The Stories of Legends has their own ideas that needs to be written down as well. May it be because of lore or gameplay reasons. At the most when it comes to MAGGI.

There is a difference between Main Stats and Special Stats. Main stats are statistics that basically everyone has. HP, MAGGI, ATK, DEF. However Special Stats are rare ones, which bosses/advanced enemies can have to make fights more difficult.

Just like the Main Stats, the Special Stats can be on weapons and armor too. As an example, a sword can give you DEF and/or ATK, but also can allow you to attack twice or ignore DEF. Special Stats are simply unusual statistics!

The game works in a turn-based style. So, basically its your partys turn and then the enemies turn. Technically, your party can go in any order they want, same for the enemies. Knowing that will be important when reading this.

[Main Stats]

HP

HP (Health Points) are like in any RPG. HPs can be reduced through damage from an enemies ATK. Once they reach 0, the character is dead. However, unlike some games, they don't come back and you can't bring them back with standard health items.

If it's a party members HP reaches 0, they're gone forever, if you don't have an item that can revive (recently or not so recently) dead people. If the player character(s) died, you'd go back to the last checkpoint. Like before a boss or in the last town. So... don't die.

Also, usually the HP is the age the character is at. If someone is 20 years old, their HP is 20. If someone is 80, their HP is 80.

MAGGI

MAGGI (Mighty|And|Great|Grotesque|Ignorance). It works like the mana stat in any other (TT)RPG, however it is not magic in a lore sense. It is the evilness that the people have in them.

The word MAGGI, despite being an acronym, is also often shortened as MG. It still means the same thing, it's simply to make things more readable. MAGGI = MG.

The limit of MAGGI is 777, however the usual cap for a normal person is 666. Anything above that is at the very least a demi-god, as anything above 777 has no meaning. The middleground is 30. That person is not good nor bad.

The lowest an alive being can have is 1. Usually newborns or extremely pure souls have that amount. If someone has an MAGGI of 0, they're not alive, they're a robot... or a long deceased corpse.

Despite it being based on the evilness of the person, it is still just a tool. You can heal with your MAGGI just as you can kill with it. You can do as much good with it as bad. It is, in a way, still magic.

If I ever sell this, I'm likely going to have to change the name to M.A.G.I.C. (Mighty|And|Great|Ignorant|Crazyness). You can change MAGGI to MAGIC in your campaigns, if you want. It's the exact same thing, just a different name.

ATK

ATK (Attack) is a stat that is the most similar to any other game. It is the base strength you have. It can increase through weapons, armor, and items. When you attack, you decrease the HP of the enemy.

Here is how it is calculated: YourATK - EnemyDEF = YourDMG | EnemyHP - YourDMG = NewEnemyHP.

If your ATK is 1 or higher, you always deal at least 1 damage. If it's 0 or less, you deal no damage. It is so you can always can beat an encounter, it just might take a while.

DEF

DEF (Defense) is a stat that makes the damage of the enemy less strong (YourDEF - EnemyATK = Damage). DEF cannot grow naturally. It can only increase DEF through outside factors, like armors, weapons, and items.

If your DEF is negative, you take more damage: -1 DEF means x1.5 damage, -2 is x2, -3 is x3, and so on. If your DEF is in the plus, it's just EnemyATK - YourDEF = EnemyDamage. It's to discourage having minus DEF.

You start with 0 Base DEF and end with it, except if the player character is 70 years old, then their DEF starts at -1, at 80 it is -2, at 90 -3, and so on.

MDEF

MDEF (Mighty|Depression|Ending|Form) is the average happiness of the person. It goes from -7 to 7. Your MDEF work just like your DEF, however it just activates if someone uses a MAGGI spell against you.

The stat depends on the average mental health of the person, not if they're currently happy or not. Someone imprisoned for centuries might have an MDEF of -4, while a person who has lived a joyful life might have an MDEF of 4

Someone with an MDEF 7 might have no worries in life and achieved inner peace and lives with a constant smile on their face, while someone with MDEF -7 might be filled with grief and sees no point in anything anymore.

The player character(s), at least in my games, have a constant MDEF of 0, given the Legend Stat.

Learn

This stat is tracking their progress on gaining new spells. Characters can gain +1 learn stat, when sleeping in an Inn or something similar to that. They also can increase that stat through items, like a book.

The first spell might just require 2 to 3, but the last might require 8 to 10. This stat also doesn't reset, except for plot purposes, if required.

LV

The level stat works differently, depending on what class you have. With Determination, Downfall, Bad Luck Soul, and Bat Fate you need a certain amount of kills until you get a level up, which adds 1 HP, MAGGI, and ATK.

Termination requires a boss kill for a level up. Some classes don't even have Levels.

Kills

In this TTRPG, there are no EXP, there are Kills. Every time you kill someone, you gain one kill. When kills are tied to level ups, the counter reset upon the level up.

No enemy can give more than one kill, except if that enemy is secretly multiple people in a trenchcoat. Even if you kill a person with Destructive Rage, who has a souls counter, you only gain one kill.

Spell Kills

It's a stat that is exclusive for Deviation. It tracks your kills that specifically for spells. It is important, since every spell kill you get +1 MAGGI and every 5 you get +1 HP and +1 ATK.

It is to encourage the player, that if they kill enemies, that they use their spells, when doing it. Since Deviation revolves around spells.

Souls

The Souls stat is exclusive for Destructive Rage. Every time you kill someone, you gain a soul. In the most basic sense, it's a kill count.

Every time you get a soul, you get soulpoints ((MAGGI/8)/3) which you can higher your ATK & HP with. Each soul also gives you one MAGGI.

CURRENCY

That is less of a stat and more of a gameplay mechanic. Wether you wanna split it up between party members or all of them sharing their currency is up to you. Maybe a mix of both?

How you wish to call it is your choice as well. Euro, Dollar, Pounds, Sents, Yemo, Gold. Hence why I call it CURRENCY. Maybe your game doesn't even have any currency and relys on trading?

In the end, your currency is what players gives the opportunity to buy items such as healing items, weapons, armor, etc.

[Special Stats]

Just like with HP, MAGGI, ATK, DEF, and MDEF. These stats can be on weapons or armor, maybe even items(?), except the Legend stat.

Dodgerate/Blockrate

You have an X in 100 chance of dodging or blocking, or however you wanna call it. So, the damage the enemy wanted to do doesn't matter. You completely negated the damage. You can also have a dodgerate and blockrate at the same time.

You could technically make yourself invincible if you have enough of these damage negating rates at the same time. Though only invincible through luck, as you can still get hit, as it depends on your luck. Are you feeling lucky?

Just so you know, you can call it however you see fit. It could be a dodgerate, it could be a blockrate, even a missrate (The enemy misses you through luck). It all works the same.

Poison

Poison deals damage over turns. X DMG X Turns. For example "10 DMG 1 Turn" would deal 10 Damage when its the enemies turn. However with "1 DMG 10 Turns" it would deal 1 damage, for the next 10 times it's the enemies turn.

The evil thing about poison is that it is stackable. So, each time you poison the enemy with "1 DMG 10 Turns" it gets stacked until the first poison runs out. So the maximum would be 10 DMG per the enemies turn, as long as you still poison it.

Ignore DEF

If you have this stat, you ignore the DEF of the enemy, no matter how much they have. You just go directly for the HP. There is not much to add.

Attack X times

This allows you to attack more than once per turn. That means you can also target more than one opponment in your turn.

This can also technically be interpreted as not only attacking with violence, but also with MAGGI, words or any other action, even if it was thought up as attack only.

It's best to talk about which interpretation works the best for the players and the campaign, if it is going to be used.

Undodgeable/Unblockable

Whether on a weapon or on a person, the enemy cannot nullify the attack. The person who has a dodgerate or blockrate, or anything similar to it, is unable to dodge it.

You can also make the damage depend on the dodge/blockrate of the enemy, making it do less damage, the higher the percentage is. However, it's easier to just always hit.

Begins

If you have this stat, you are always starting the battle. Usually, the one who starts the battle is second. However, if you have this stat, it doesn't matter. You ALWAYS start. If both you and them have the stat, it cancels each other out.

Which means, if the boss has this stat and you, and the boss starts the fight, you begin. It could work well as a weapon or armor, but I think even an item could work well with it.

Legend

The legend stat is a hidden stat given to player characters. It is a lore stat, so it doesn't influence too much outside of lore. However it still changes a bit in gameplay.

It doesn't allow passive HP increase through age. MDEF is set to 0 permanently. And if a legend fights another legend, it says "A legendary fight begins" before "[X] wants to battle".

Also in lore, when the campaign ends, the player character gets a feeling of hollowness, upon not being controlled by the player anymore.

Meta

This stat is made for an enemy called the Timebound Pursuer for the Timebound Racer class. So, it isn't expected to be used outside of it.

Upon the death of an enemy with that stat, it would respawn x1.2 stronger (HP, MG, ATK, DEF). It wouldn't and couldn't die.

Here are some important information about some things! If I forgot something, please be sure to tell me!

Pre-Start Organizations

Upon starting a new campaign, you need to ask your players a couple questions.

- Their characters name. (If this isn't the first campaign, they cannot choose the same)

- Their characters favourite food. (Which would be an item they can find once(?) in the campaign, which heals the one fully)

- Their characters favourite thing. (Which would be the ALL MAGGI attack)

- Their characters class.

Here are some things you need to do afterwards on your own:

- You need to figure out what their MAGGI is. It should be around the 20 to 40 range. 30 being the standard.

- You also need to figure out what their MAGGI attacks would be. Which is fine, because they firstly need to learn them via the learn stat.

- Don't forget to set their MDEF to 0!

Battle Loop

Battles are fought in groups. A group is, for example, the enemies that team up against you. Your party is a group too.

When the enemy group starts the battle your party begins. When your party begins the battle, the enemy group begins. When someone has the "begins" stat, only they have priorty, no one else in that party has.

When it's your partys turn, each character can do one action (unless you. The order doesn't matter. Same goes for the enemy group.

When there are three or more groups fighting, that gets more complicated. However, when the party doesn't start the battle, they'd get priority, being the first group to start.

During your turn, you can do a lot of things.

Fighting:

Fighting would use your ATK firstly against the enemies DEF. Afterwards, the rest of your ATK would go against the enemies HP. If your ATK is above 0 and the DMG would result with 0 against the enemy, then you'd do still 1 DMG. That way, any enemy can theoretically be killed. However, if your ATK is 0 or less, you do 0 DMG.

Talking:

While it is called "talking", you can also act out things with this. This is the peaceful solution, which you can end the fight peaceful with. Though you could make it easier to kill as well, if you say the right things.

When using this option, you have to think on your own. The one who made the creator of the campaign will not give you options to choose from.

MAGGI:

If you have spells on you, you can choose between them to cast a spell against the enemy or for yourself. If you have none of course, then this option is useless.

Items:

This is simply the option that lets you use items. You can use only one item per turn. What you do with it is up to you of course. Be creative!

Ask to stop:

Once the enemy doesn't seem to wanna fight anymore, you can always ask for the fight to stop. This option exists seperately to the talk command, to make sure people don't forget about that option.

Nothing:

You skip your turn. You do nothing. You're simply standing there.

Gun vs Melee Weapons

Guns are weapons with a range attack, for example -4 - 6, which means the weapon could miss (negative to 0) or do do damage (1 to 6). These attacks also ignore your BaseATK. Afterall, you cannot shot a gun harder.

However, guns usually have a higher max attack than melee weapons. Hence why they aren't useless, as they could do more damage than melee weapons.

Meanwhile Melee weapons have a set value. The ATK of the weapon is also added to your BaseATK. There is no randomness. If you know the enemies DEF, your BaseATK + weapon attack, then you know exactly how much DMG you do.

These are examples on how you can make your own campaigns. I only took out campaigns that are finished, except the last one, which is unfinished. "The Terrible Kings" is a campaign made specifically for Bad Fate.

In my own opinion, it is important to build your campaign around the Bad Fate trait, firstly given its redicioulous stats and also to give it the "I Wanna Be The Guy" feel and to make your legend suffer.

Please keep in mind that these campaigns use an older version of The Stories of Legends, for examples only allowing one armor slot (which is nowadays only in the afterlife (in my campaign)).

Also, most of the campaigns are in german, however they are marked as german. I will not translate them over to english. However, you can try your luck with some translation tool!

Here are the official campaigns of The Stories of Legends! If you feel uninspired or simply want to play without preparing much, you can get simply download these, read over them, and then play them with your friends!

That shouldn't discourage you from making your own of course. You can also simply use them as an example on how you could make a campaign for yourself! Be creative and get inspired through things!
