Core Set HC

Torchbearer is a roleplaying game of desperate adventure. The expeditions you undertake are taxing on your body, your mind and your very nature. To survive, you must carefully manage your food, water and light resources. To excel, you must fight for what you believe in. To prosper, you must fill your bags with loot and treasure.

This triumvirate of competing needs creates a delicious tension unique to Torchbearer. Players are asked to weigh these forces in every decision they make. Some may seem easy or frivolous to start, but the deeper you become enmeshed in an adventure, the heavier and more costly each decision becomes.

The system is based on the award-winning Mouse Guard roleplaying game system. Using the same core rules, character builds and conflict system, but with a grimmer, harsher world. One that can stand the test of time, providing you with years of adventures.
