Dragonbane is a classic fantasy RPG that is a new, worldwide take on Scandinavia's first RPG Drakar och Demoner. Dragonbane is designed for fast and fun play, with little prep time and adventures that are easy to run. The game is designed to be fun and filled with laughter, but also creates tough challenges to overcome. The game uses a skill based D20 system, where you want to role lower to succeed on tests. The game also features 10 different professions, like Fighter, Mage, and Thief, but also more unorthodox professions like the Artisan, Merchant, Mariner, and Scholar.
The book contains everything you need (minus some dice) to start playing right away. Included within its pages are character creation and combat rules, plus information about the setting of the Misty Vale, a land that was, until recently, overrun by orcs and goblins.
