Dragonbane Core Rule Book
Free League PublishingDragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. This book includes fast and effective D20-based game rules for character creation, skills, combat, magic, and travel, and the introductory adventure The Castle of the Robber Knight. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. We call this playstyle “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” – great for long campaigns, but also perfect for a one-shot. Dragonbane comes with all of the fantastical creatures that you’d expect plus a few more – not least the duck-like mallards! The game uses a skill-based D20 system that is very easy for new players to learn. Each skill is rated from 1 to 18, and the player needs to roll equal to or lower than the skill level to succeed. That’s right – in this game you want to roll low. Rolling a natural 1 is called rolling a dragon, and triggers powerful special effects.
