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.
