Free From the Yoke Core Rulebook
 |
Free From the Yoke is a game of political intruigue and low-fantasy adventure in a world inspired by Eastern European history and mythology. Each game begins with a play group working through the story of their revolution against an occupying empire¸ and the Arbiter who lead the revolution and now rules the new nation. This Arbiter - controlled by the GM - acts as an antagonist for the campaign¸ a ruler for the factions the players control to appease¸ manipulate¸ keep at bay and even rise up in revolt against. Free From the Yoke builds on the faction and hero gameplay of Legacy: Life Among the Ruins. Players tell political stories controlling factions like steppe horse nomads¸ keepers of the land's lore¸ and representatives of other nations¸ but also play wise¸ daring and strong heroes in adventures across this land. With rules designed to produce dramatic stories of loyalty¸ oaths¸ magic and mystery¸ Free From the Yoke gives play groups everything they need to tell a spellbinding multi-generation story of the peoples of this land and the new society they build.
