What is Sim-Lite?

Realistic outcomes, at narrative speed.
Pure simulation buries the table in math. Narrative-lite drops the stakes. Sim-Lite keeps the consequences and loses the overhead.

  • Pure Simulation

    Deep, but complexity kills pace. 20 minutes per sword fight.

  • Sim-Lite

    Realistic consequences and tactical weight — resolved at narrative speed. The middle ground.

  • Narrative-Lite

    Fast, but choices feel weightless. No real stakes.
