Today, Free League Publishing announced that Dragonbane: Trudvang, a stand-alone tabletop roleplaying game based on the multiple award-winning Dragonbane RPG, will be launched on Kickstarter on February 17, at 3 pm CET (9 am US Eastern, 6 am US Pacific).
Prospective backers can sign up to follow the project here to be sure not to miss the early backer bonus: a deluxe art print featuring the new cover art by the masterful Paul Bonner.
Dragonbane: Trudvang, produced by Free League under license from CMON, will include complete rules, fully compatible with the Dragonbane core game.
The Dragonbane: Trudvang Kickstarter campaign will offer no less than four masterfully illustrated hardback volumes in Swedish and English:
- Core Rules: Complete rules based on Dragonbane, including Trudvang kins, professions, skills, heroic abilities, and magic – wielded by vitner weavers and dimwalkers.
- World Book: A deep dive into Trudvang’s history, peoples, and regions – from Stormlands to Westmark, from Soj to the Great Ice Plains, richly illustrated.
- Jorgi’s Bestiary: The classic monster manual for Trudvang returns, featuring beasts from braskelwurm and draugr to hrimtursir and yggdras, all adapted for Dragonbane.
- The Black Sun: A legendary four-part epic campaign in Trudvang, revised and published in English for the first time.
The art of Dragonbane: Trudvang will mainly be drawn from over two decades of amazing Trudvang illustrations by masters like Paul Bonner, Alvaro Tapia, Daniel Zrom, and others. Paul Bonner has also created the new cover art for the Dragonbane: Trudvang World Book, and Francesca Baerald has drawn a new world map of Trudvang.
“When we heard that Free League had licensed Trudvang from CMON, and that Magnus Seter would be leading the work on this new edition, we were naturally delighted. Most of all because the world gets to live on – but also because Trudvang has, in many ways, found its way home again,” says Theodore Bergqvist in the preface to the new edition.
Free League is one of the most funded RPG publishers on Kickstarter, raising over $12M across 41 successful campaigns, including The One Ring™, ALIEN The Roleplaying Game, Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game, Dragonbane, Coriolis: The Great Dark, Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying, Forbidden Lands, and Tales From the Loop RPG.
