BROKEN CITIES launches February 21st on Kickstarter—click here to get notified! BROKEN CITIES is a diceless, GMless tabletop RPG in which players take the role of Travelers coming to a City with adventurous goals in mind, while the City wants to convince them to go through the sacrifice needed to fix it.
