Reavers and Rogues

In Reavers and Rogues, you become a classic sword-and-sorcery pulp adventurer. This solo game allows you to create a unique character and play out the story beats of a gritty fantasy adventure in the style of Conan the Cimmerian, Elric of Melnibone, and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

Reavers and Rogues is easy to learn and quick to play. The guide walks you through the Scenes of your story, giving you options to choose from, and helping you to interpret your dice rolls. Using random tables, you will create exciting encounters with strange people and creatures in bizarre and dangerous locations. And the combination of tables, dice, and your choices ensures that every adventure is unique and unpredictable.

• Will you conquer your foes in combat, or convince them to become your otherworldly allies?
• Will you overcome each challenge with ease, or at great cost?
• Does your strength lie in martial prowess, a silver tongue, or the ability to summon spirits and elementals?
• Will you defeat the Villain to claim the Prize, or fall in battle? (Yes, you can die!)

You'll use the instructions in each Scene and in the Encounter Guide to choose your actions, roll dice, gain bonuses from Loot and Secrets, and discover the outcome of each event.

Reavers and Rogues is a great way to turn an hour of free time into a pulse-pounding adventure across a twisted landscape full of dangerous people and creatures... all by yourself!
