About Dragonbane
Released in 2023, Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. It is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This “mirth and mayhem” game style leaves room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers.
Dragonbane is a translation of Drakar och Demoner, Scandinavia’s first and biggest tabletop RPG, originally launched in 1982. The new and reimagined edition has one foot firmly planted in the heritage of decades of Swedish gaming and the other in the modern and innovative game design for which Free League Publishing is known worldwide.
Players worldwide are invited to design and publish their own supplements for Dragonbane, using the third-party license for the game.
