Free League Publishing invites the boldest of adventurers to experience Black Powder and Brimstone, a MÖRK BORG-compatible indie RPG packed with lore, explosions, magic, war, and demons. The book is available on the Free League webshop and in hobby stores everywhere, or in digital PDF format on DriveThruRPG.
“I’m hoping to reach an audience of people who love fantasy and adventure but want something other than Tolkienesque western fantasy,” said Ben Tobitt, creator of Black Powder and Brimstone. “and I want players to let loose as ruthless adventurers in a dark and gothic world haunted by demons and patrolled by zealots. The rules are there to facilitate dynamic swashbuckling combat and thrilling encounters that I hope will create memorable stories set in this grimdark setting.”
Embark on a dark and daring journey where death and destruction lurk around every corner. The gunpowder- and witchcraft-infused game is a complete stand-alone RPG based on and compatible with the multi-award-winning apocalyptic heavy metal RPG MÖRK BORG. This action-packed, rules-light, art-heavy OSR game offers swashbuckling adventure and gothic folk horror in an unholy blend.
Black Powder and Brimstone Key Features:
- A wicked cauldron of a game packed to the brim with lore, explosions, magic, war, and demons.
