Alternate-history Roman Empire setting!
Originally shared by Stephanie Bryant
People! My friend and local gamer Martin Greening has a Kickstarter running for his PbtA alternate-history Roman Empire game! Check it out!

Can you describe gameplay or any favourite quirks with Ruma? (Already a backer ofc!)
Thank you sharing Stephanie!
Gameplay is much like DW and AW2. Players choose a cult of one of the gods in addition to a playbook, and gain a move specific to that cult. XP is awaded for following your god’s credo, your temperament, and resetting bonds.
Martin Greening, thanks 🙂
Any other special mechanics or moves that differ from DW/AW? (/Backer 27)
Moves have been tuned to fit the setting. Currently those are the biggest differences.
The Kickstarter has funded with 4 weeks to go. Now marching towards stretch goals. Thank you everyone for your support!
We’re less than $100 from unlocking the third stretch goal, the Decanus playbook. Who doesn’t want a squad of minions/soldiers to do their bidding?
We’ve unlocked both the cults of Vulcan/Hephaestus and Artemis/Diana, along with the Praedo and Decanus playbooks. 20 days left in the campaign. Just announced new stretch goals for the cult of Hecate/Trivia and the Equite and Architectus playbooks. Thank you.
