Blood Reign: A Grimdark Sword Dream RPG

The Holy Empire is in shambles, its nations lie in disrepair as Cults of Chaos act boldly throughout the world. The Church is at war with itself, as the Empire’s Inquisition spreads across the lands in search of Heresies and Corruption. Strange folk and unspeakable monstrosities await in this grim and dark mysterious world.

Blood Reign is an old-school ultralite grimdark fantasy role-playing game for 2+ people. Designed to be easy to pick up and play, this one page RPG contains everything you need to get started and go on perilous adventures.

Requires a set of polyhedral dice ( d6 & d20), a way to take notes, and an imagination. Have fun!

Olivia Hill Rule: If you're a fascist, you're not welcome to play this game. It's against the rules. If you're reading this and thinking, "You just call everyone you disagree with a fascist," then you're probably a fascist, or incapable of drawing inferences from context and acknowledging a dangerous political climate that causes the oppressed to be hyperbolic. Don't play this game. Heal yourself. Grow. Learn. Watch some Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood or something.
