Dragonbane RPG Review: A Classic Roleplaying Game Returns (screenrant.com)

Dragonbane is the latest TTRPG from Free League Publishing and marks a return for this OSR RPG - a popular Swedish role-playing game known as Drakar och Demoner. Releasing in August 2023, Dragonbane is a classic fantasy TTRPG that works well as an introduction to tabletop gaming. Even for veterans, it offers an easy-to-learn ruleset that won't bog down GMs or players with overly complicated mechanics. But with hard-hitting monsters, it's no walk in the park, either. In fact, "fast and furious play" is one of the main selling points.

Dragonbane Core Set Review (gnomestew.com)

In addition to creating RPGs that leverage IP like Aliens and Blade Runner, Free League has also been translating and revamping RPGs previously known to the European market. The game we’re looking at today, Dragonbane, has a storied history. Drakar och Demoner came about in 1982, originally as a game using Chaosium’s Basic Roleplaying system. Chaosium’s games were a big influence on the development of the game, which is why the 2nd edition of the game introduced anthropomorphic ducks into the setting, as a nod to Chaosium’s Glorantha setting.

Speaking of Glorantha, Drakar och Demoner has gone through multiple owners, as well as multiple settings. The game rules and the setting have converged and diverged over the years, until Free League got the rights to the core game system and Kickstarted the game in 2022. The Dragonbane Core Set is the result of that Kickstarter.

Hello there! I just published a tiny adventure for the game. It is set in the Misty Vale and written to fit into the campaign, but with very few adjustments it can be used anywhere. Hope you like it!
