Blade & Crown

Blade & Crown is a full-featured fantasy roleplaying game, suited for courtly intrigue, far-flung wilderness exploration, thievish derring-do in the bowels of a city or even dungeon-delving. Blade & Crown includes:

• A unified mechanic using a few ten-sided dice and a single twelve-sided die for almost all rolls
• Options and encouragement for every player to take narrative control, including Traits that motivate, guide and focus immersive roleplaying
• Combat that walks the line between realism and heroism: gritty enough to make combat dangerous, but survivable enough to make adventuring fun, and with tactical options to make combat as abstract or concrete as you want
• Magic that is mysterious and mystical
• Religion that is flavorful and compelling
• Complete rules for designing characters, doing tasks, buying & selling, researching and employing magic, practicing religion, conducting combat, traveling and more – everything is contained in this volume
• Extensive GM notes
• A sample campaign seed, "The Gift Map", and deck plans for the cog the Jade Swan, and dozens of adventure seeds
• Character sheets and reference form
• 173 pages, not including covers or index
• Detailed index
