Welcome to Bound for Glory. This game is based on the fantastic Dungeon World rpg, but instead of complicating the rules, it gets rid of them... and arrives at something we call ‘free kriegsspiel’.
In Free Kriegsspiel (and in the modern movement we founded, ‘Free Kriegsspiel Revolution’, which you can find here: https://discord.gg/fQGah4s), the game master IS the rulebook.
(We call them ‘referees’, following the tradition of roleplaying games that were played before Gary Gygax published the first commercial rpg.)
FKR games allow you to play almost instantly. No complex rules, no rulebooks. Yes, this type of roleplaying game requires trust. Trust between the players among themselves, and trust that the referee is there to have a good time with all the other players. But then again, this is the way we played as children, and the way our children are playing now.
Maybe that’s the reason why FKR gaming is so liberating: It’s a journey back to instinctive gaming, and it’s a journey forward into the realms of imagination. ‘Play worlds, not rules’, is our motto, so you won’t find pages upon pages of rules in Bound for Glory. You will find lots of things that inspire you, though.
Thank you for playing Bound for Glory. Long live love. Long live imagination!
Price: $5.92
