WHEN THE BROADSWORDS SING (WBS) is an OSR micro-RPG that draws on games like Knave and Barbarians of Lemuria to provide a sword-and-sorcery flavored take on the classic dungeon crawl experience.
The game is 6 pages long, fitting on three sheets of paper front-and-back.
The regular version is black background with yellow/white text, and the printer friendly is black text on white.
Thanks and enjoy!
