A Duel at Buckthorn
This is a game for two players over the course of an hour or so.  Each player takes on the role of a potential champion in a duel set hundreds of years before the events of Rebel Crown. The duel is resolved by players choosing which of their dice to spend from a rolled pool.  The fictional inputs are fairly constrained compared to a game like Rebel Crown.  Much of the fun comes from discussing why these fighters are putting their lives on the line, and what the ripples of their choices will be in the lives of those around them.
