SWORD & BACKPACK
Included in this bundle are: the rules for Sword & Backpack rules; the original Sword & Backpack Broadsheets, one-page excerpts from an adventuring manual that serve as the philosophical underpinnings of the game (but they're much more fun than that description); the first Sword & Backpack magic supplement; some adventure supplements; a setting supplement for the city of Lanternport; a one-page visual guide on how to make your Sword & Backpack book; and the one-page Dungeonpunk Manifesto, some more fun (or so we think) philosophy stuff. Cheers. Originally released in 2013, Sword & Backpack is the first game in the Almanac System, where players use small Moleskine notebooks (or the equivalent) to store game rules and handouts and record their adventures.
