Please note, this is an “ashcan” edition. This edition is designed to allow the Gallant Knight Games team to gather feedback, refine the game, and work to make this product the best it can be. This a sampling designed to communicate the intent of the full game, and as such, is not the final product. All funds from the sales of this work in progress go towards the full edition.
THE FIRST THING YOU KNOW IS THE TASTE OF SAND AND BLOOD, COPPERY AND COARSE. NAKED AND ALONE, YOU STAGGER UPRIGHT, YOUR LEGS BARELY STANDING FIRM. THE HARSH TWIN SUNS BEAT DOWN ON YOUR GRIMESTREAKED
SHOULDERS. THE DESERT CROWS CRY ABOVE, AS THE STENCH OF ROTTING FLESH WRITHES AROUND YOU.
WELCOME TO THE CARRION LANDS.
What are the Carrion Lands?
The Carrion Lands is a tabletop roleplaying game, set in a grim and harsh world inspired by the darkest and cruelest versions of the Sword & Sorcery genre. You’re an Exile, who awoke, confused, naked and alone, doomed in the Carrion
Lands. You don’t know how you got there. You don’t remember who you were. All you know is you’re here, with nothing but your wits, muscle and cunning to get you through.
The world of the Carrion Lands is a world of extremes. Blazing, harsh, and dry deserts. Frozen, bitter, and sweeping tundra. Steep and staggering mountains. Fetid, thick, and choking jungles. The enemies are many. Foul, degenerate Beastmen. Cunning and cruel empires of Ophidians. Other Exiles, ready to slay and spill blood for any small gain.Dark sorceries and distant gods.
You own what you take, and you only possess what you can keep. Might makes right in the Carrion Lands. You’ll have to survive on the edge of a blade, perhaps serving a powerful Carrion Lord, perhaps founding your own settlement,in an attempt to survive with like-minded exiles.
But in the end, the crows take everyone.
This ashcan utilizes a variation of the excellent BoL Hack rules and as such introduces new mechanical elements to the game. This document will live and evolve throughout the ashcan, receiving updates and changes.
Price: $7.00
