Brinkwood: The Blood of Tyrants
 |
Brinkwood: The Blood of Tyrants is a Forged in the Dark tabletop roleplaying game about building a rebellion that will overthrow the blood-soaked vampires that oppress and dominate your world.
Mask up. Spill blood. Drink the Rich.
The world is not as it should be. The rich feed¸ literally¸ upon the poor¸ as blood-sucking vampires who barely bother to conceal their horrific¸ parasitic nature. The downtrodden peoples of the world struggle under the burdens of rent¸ payable through the sweat of their labor or the blood of their veins. Evil has triumphed. Many have given in to despair. But all is not lost.
In Brinkwood¸ you take on the role of renegades¸ thieves¸ and rebels struggling for freedom and liberation in a castylpunk world controlled by vampires. Radicalized by tragedy¸ you have taken up arms and fled into the forests¸ where you were taken in by unlikely allies - the fae¸ forgotten creatures of myth - who offered a different path and the means to fight back against your oppressors.
Masks¸ forged of old wood and older magic¸ are the final tool left to fight a war long ago lost. If you wear them¸ they will take their price¸ etching themselves upon your very soul. But they will also let you spill the blood of the rich and powerful vampires that now rule the land¸ and from that blood strengthen yourself and your movement.
