Submission Overview
Hello there!
I present to you Vestigium, a game made from scratch for this jam.
When I saw this contest my thoughts were making something I wanted to play with. Taking inspiration in City of Mist RPG, a bit of conspiracy theories and Fountation SCP Lore, I have brewed something awesome (in my humble opinion).
Vestigium serves drama between the magic and the common, as in classic superhero's stories. People that fiddle in the occult cannot have a peaceful life.
The system uses d6 pool management in order to give players a sense of comitment in actions. The dice will wear down and die, but with drama and moving the story forward, dead dice will recover.
I hope you have fun with it, as I've had in its design process.

Vestigium has a very interesting mechanic based on dice pools. It is a simple and efficient way to represent the concept of balance between a human bearer and their sentient magic artifact.
I like the idea that the magic come from Vestigium (the magic artefact) rather than the classic human-being wizards.
The only drawback is that the document lack of a skill/power list but this is easily fixed by taking inspiration from another TTRPG source.
Great job!
