Blood, Bones & Bastards
A downloadable game
Blood, Bones & Bastards is a minimalist tabletop role-playing game set in the grim and unforgiving world of 14th century France, amidst the chaos of the Black Plague. Designed for 1-4 players (including the Baron, our term for the Game Master), this game plunges you into a world where survival is uncertain, moral dilemmas abound, and the ever-present threat of pestilence looms.
In this game, you will:
- Take on the roles of mercenary misfits, known as "Bastards," each with their unique strengths and weaknesses.
- Navigate the dangerous and plague-ridden landscape, accepting desperate jobs from villagers, noble houses, and the Church.
- Make tough moral choices that shape your story and influence the world around you.
- Deal with the constant threat of infection, starvation, and violence, knowing that death is almost inevitable.
- Roll dice to determine outcomes of combat, healing, and other crucial actions with a simple yet engaging d6 system.
Key Features:
- Simple Rules: Easy-to-learn mechanics that prioritize storytelling and player creativity.
- Dynamic Gameplay: Fast-paced action with constant challenges and decisions to be made.
- Character Depth: Unique classes and traits add complexity and replayability.
- Realistic Setting: An immersive, historically inspired world that captures the brutal reality of medieval France during the Black Plague.
