What is Lineage?

Lineage is a solo roleplaying game where you will chart the lives of monarchs and the history of the nation they rule. 

Build the family tree of a fiction royal family.  Record the challenges they faced and the decision they made, and discover how those decisions impacted future generations.

A journaling game with a difference, you will learn the complete history of a fictional kingdom as you uncover the lives of its leaders, gradually building an elaborate historical artefact.

How to play

Rolling 2 six-sided dice, you'll be provided with short descriptions of a monarch - how they are remembered, the heirs they left behind, the challenges they faced and how they died. 

Using these as prompts, you will gradually build a complete history of this ruling family and the nation they control.

Lineage is a much expanded version of The History Of..., which was a mini-rpg printed on a business card.   It's a 20 page, full colour PDF - single spread and double spread options are available.

Can I incorporate this into an RPG session?

You can.  Lineage is a stand-alone journaling game, but can also be used to build randomised rulers on the fly.  

Hey, if you like this game (or any game on itch), you should give it a rating.  It costs nothing and takes seconds.  Indie creators live and die at the whim of an algorithm.  Feed that algorithm with your likes.

In order to download this game you must purchase it at or above the minimum price of $0.58 USD. You will get access to the following files:
