The game is already available to pre-order via the official website with immediate access to the complete PDF package, ahead of the boxed edition release this fall. The game is also available at DrivethruRPG. A 48-page Quickstart PDF is also available, completely free.

Dragonbane is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. DTRPG Reviews:

“After playtesting Dragonbane extensively over the last two months, I think this might be the best game to teach new players how to play in an RPG I have ever come across.

“This most certainly makes me not even want to look back at D&D 5e! It is exactly what I want a fantasy system to be, and is great for both one shots and long campaigns.”

Drakar och Demoner originally launched in 1982 and has been Scandinavias largest and most beloved tabletop RPG brand ever since. Now, Free League celebrates its 40th anniversary with a new edition based on the heritage of decades of Swedish gaming, updated through the innovative game design for which Free League has been praised for worldwide.The Dragonbane core set includes the complete Rules book, an Adventures book with no less than eleven adventures connected into an epic campaign, five pre-generated characters, over 70 custom cards for treasure, adventures, initiative, and more, and the beautiful map of the Misty Vale setting, created by the cartographer Francesca Baerald.

Dragonbane invites players to experience fantasy adventures of all kinds. However, it is also a game with room for laughs and a pinch of silliness. Do not, however, mistake it for an easy game, for it will present formidable challenges for all adventurers. Free League call this playstyle “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” – great for long campaigns, but also perfect for a one-shot.

The mythology revolves around the eternal struggle between dragons and demons. The ruins of fallen kingdoms, that once worshipped either of these rival godlike creatures, beckon brave adventurers with the lure of hidden treasures.

The lead game designer is Tomas Härenstam (Forbidden Lands, Mutant: Year Zero, ALIEN RPG, Blade Runner RPG), leading a team of adventure writers picked from the from the rich legacy of the Swedish RPG scene as well as acclaimed historical fiction author Niklas Natt och Dag (1793 The Wolf and the Watchman). The lead illustrator for the game is the acclaimed Johan Egerkrans (Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying).

Free League also invites creators to design and publish their own supplements for Dragonbane and Drakar och Demoner, using the released a third party license for the game.
