Faction Turn
 |
Zoom in¸ zoom out. Play as a character¸ then play as a faction¸ making decisions that could affect the whole map. That's the idea behind Faction Turn¸ a 3-page rules-light PbtA game that provides simple mechanics and procedures for playing a sweeping¸ epic campaign.
What it contains:
- the Risky Move¸ a single move for when you're playing as a character
- two moves for when you're playing as a faction¸ one for faction versus faction and one for general play.
- capitalized words like Treaty¸ Resources¸ Threats¸ and Time Skips
- no advice for running the game because that's the fun of rules-light games!
For those who know Legacy 2e: Life Among The Ruins or Free From The Yoke:
I am a big fan of Legacy 2e and it's sibling games. But I find them very unwieldy as texts and in play so as I mentioned on my newsletter many moons ago¸ I decided to make a standalone retroclone (just rolls off the tongue¸ doesn't it). In the same way that World of Dungeons was a tongue-in-cheek retroclone of Dungeon World¸ this game - Faction Turn - is a retroclone of Legacy 2e. It's also stripped of most specific genre trappings so you could use it to play fantasy¸ scifi¸ whatever!
