Bargains & Bloodshed
“He paused and his eyes gleamed with a witchy glare in the dimness. ‘The time has come for sorcery and swords!’”From The Lords of Quarmall, by Fritz Leiber Bargains & Bloodshed is a classless rules-light sword & sorcery toolkit inspired by the literary genre’s implicit play style. It's quick and unforgiving, and promotes play reminiscent of the antiheroic shenanigans of characters like Conan and Kane. All you need to play is a standard set of dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20), and a basic understanding of how to play tabletop role-playing games. Cover image by the excellent Henrik Sahlström.
