‘Blue Rose: The AGE RPG of Romantic Fantasy’ Now Available from Green Ronin

Jan 14, 2017

One of the roleplaying games which were on my list of RPGs to watch for in late 2016 has finally arrived from Green Ronin Publishing. Utilizing Green Ronin’s Adventure Game Engine, Blue Rose: The AGE RPG of Romantic Fantasy is set in the land of Aldea as players create heroes who aim to protect their homeland and way of life from the encroaching forces of darkness. When Blue Rose was published a decade ago, it became a rather polarizing title as many loved the game’s approach to the genre which included a positive message of cooperation and coexistence while others were critical about what they believed was an overt political statement with too much “preachiness” from the authors regarding inclusiveness being forced upon the gaming public.

Personally, I strongly believe in inclusiveness in all walks of life so I’m very interested in checking the new edition out and you can currently preorder the physical hard cover for $59.95 or get the PDF right now, through DriveThruRPG, for $24.95.

From Green Ronin:

A decade ago Blue Rose shook up the RPG scene with its vision of romantic fantasy and inclusive gaming. Now the world of Aldea returns in a new edition using the Adventure Game Engine (AGE), the popular rules that power the Fantasy AGE and Dragon Age RPGs. This beautiful, full-color book contains everything needed to create and tell stories of heroic envoys of the Sovereign’s Finest as they protect their homeland of Aldis from threats like the shadowy Kingdom of Kern and the fanatical Theocracy of Jarzon, as well as monsters and artifacts from the cruel reign of the Sorcerer Kings. Aided by the rhydan—their psychic animal allies—the champions of the Kingdom of the Blue Rose safeguard the light of the world against the power of Shadow.

Will you answer the Sovereign’s call?
