If you're a stickler for an old-school TRPG system, accompanied by delicious fantasy artwork, then Dragonbane might just be the thing you're looking for. And lucky for us, Free League just put out a free quickstart adventure to draw us away from the D&D hype train. Welcome to 'Dragonbane: The Sinking Tower'.
Kickstarted back in 2022, Dragonbane was an ode to Sweden's first and biggest tabletop RPG system, Drakar och Demoner. Launched in celebration of the original game's 40th anniversary, it was another in a long line of old-school-revival (OSR) games that nod to a fierce and deadly heritage. While usually far lighter on rules than most of the best tabletop RPGs today, old-school systems are often far more challenging when it comes to combat.
