Hinterlands
It’s very brief, and mostly an introduction for the tone & genre the game aims for. The mini-site also includes a pair of tools to auto-generate villages, plus characters & relationships between them. Familiarity with other PbtA games is definitely useful! In particular, Sagas of the Icelanders, Apocalypse World: Dark Age, and Monsterhearts have the most overlap with this game.
