Roleplaying game author Kobayashi and publisher Livres de l’Ours have released a new rules light system inspired by both The Black Hack and the novels of Michael Moorcock and Karl Edward Wagner. Black Sword Hack is a dark fantasy take on streamlined rules and even includes an introductory adventure. The 75 page PDF is available at DriveThruRPG for $5.00.
From Livres de l’Ours:
BLACK SWORD HACK is a dark fantasy roleplaying game inspired by books such as Michael Moorcock’s Stormbringer or Karl Edward Wagner’s Kane series. It is a stand-alone game that uses the Black Hack 2nd edition as a foundation and adds a few tweaks.
- There are no classes, characters are built according to their origins (Barbarian, Civilized or Decadent).
- Tools are included to help you build your own dark fantasy world
- You’ll find rules for dangerous spells, demon pacts, spirit alliances, twisted science, rune weapons as well as ship navigation and combat.
- To help you start right away, the game comes with an introductory adventure: Scalpel Surprise.
As with our other games, you should be able to read the whole game and run your first adventure on the same day you got it!
