So, this is far from a finished project, but since it has been on hiatus for a while and the closed-playtest was good enough, I thought to put it out, for free (PWYW).

It’s a beta, but playable.

It’s very crunchy, but rewarding.

In a few words, it is as close as I managed to get with AW to the style of ASOIAF.

I know this is enough to trigger the interest of many of you.

Then you’ll look at the files, and be like “Oh, there’s 6 batches of files to print and 150 pages to read for a beta… I’m out of here!”

So, yes, it’s 150+ pages to read.

Ok, with illustrations and all, not too dense… and you know a lot of it already, but still, 150 pages, for a beta.

Plus there’s a bunch of stuff to print.

And you need scissors and glue at the table, to literally put the pieces of the game together.

Oh, did I mention it has a rotating Game Master, so everyone must read the rules once?

Why do I have the feeling that I am not selling this right? 🙂

(Now, if you actually read the manual, rules are not too complex; the print material is a lot because there are many options, but comes into play in small amounts; there can be just one reading the rules and directing all the others while they take on the role of GM, like in most games with a rotating GM… so it’s technically not impossible to enjoy this beta. What did you say? Challenge accepted?)
