It's free to download on itch io! https://coen-balkestein.itch.io/tellan

Tellan is a rules-light, funky, free-form RPG system focused on narrative. It strives to capture the heart of epic storytelling and thrilling battles with simple, fast-paced combat rules and built-in roleplaying hooks. The system is still in development, and I'm very interested in feedback and playtesting. If you have any thoughts to share, I’d love to hear them! :^)

Oh, and Tellan is licensed under Creative Commons, so you’re free to hack it or adapt it into your own system!

The licence doesn't appear on the page.

Itch lets you select a licence, which will help people search. Under the game, Edit --> Metadata, and select which creative commons licence (there are many).

Thank you for pointing this out! I'm still new to itch, so it's great to learn this is an option. I just changed it to an Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license :^)

Downloaded, I always welcome new games to try.

One thing I highly recommend is a starter adventure/campaign. It's very difficult to learn to play, learn to GM, coach players, AND learn how to structure encounters all at once.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try and think of one to include in the near future!

It's my main criticism with Fate and why I haven't played.
