Dragonbane or Forbidden Lands ?

Sun 19 Mar 2023, 16:54

Hi everyone! I'm new to Free League and have backed the The Walking Dead Universe on Kickstarter... really looking forward to that! My question is in the meantime I want to pick up one of the fantasy rpg games by FL. Any recommendations? Which would you suggest.. Forbidden Lands or Dragonbane?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

It's pretty much a matter of taste.

Forbidden Lands is both somewhat crunchier and darker in tone, and at the moment has more support (enough to run three campaigns).

So if lighter games are your thing, Dragonbane is the way to go.

FL is a more "modern" and intuitive game design IMO, while DB is based on the older Basic Roleplaying-engine.

Also note that FL is allready published, while DB is a kickstarter which has yet to be shipped. If you wanted a game in the meantime, that is.

From my understanding, this new Dragonbane is more of an amalgam of the old BRPG and Year Zero engine. A lot of features are taken straight from Forbidden Lands.

Agreed, I find DB equally intuitive as FB.
