FLAMES OF FREEDOM Grim & Perilous RPG: Powered by ZWEIHANDER RPG

Product Description \nFLAMES OF FREEDOM RPG is an American Gothic horror tabletop role-playing game, powered by the best-selling and award-winning dark fantasy ZWEIHÄNDER RPG.\nIt is the dawn of the American Revolutionary War of 1776.\nA tangled web of conspiracy spans North America. In the war for survival, it does not matter what your creed, color, culture, or gender is - all stand together. But as the Revolution has begun, something far more mysterious stirs. Agents of the occult entreat both the Continental Army and Red Coats. Freemasons conspire in the City of Brotherly Love. Maryland is in the throes of a witch hunt by the Knights Templar.\nReports of witches have been seen in the Great Dismal Swamp. Indigenous sachem say that devils walk among the living. Flesh-gobbling ghouls have been tunneling beneath Boston. The Pine Barrens of New Jersey are haunted by what the locals call the "Leeds Devil".\nIn this game, most people have either chosen to deny the supernatural or rationalize it away. A rare few accept it for what it is and act. You are among those heroes, and are destined for greatness . . . or death.\nThis American Gothic horror game
includes most of what you need to play: a player's handbook, a game master's guide, a bestiary and an introductory adventure with a sandbox campaign set in and around Boston. All that's left are a few friends, pencils, and a handful of dice.\nWelcome to FLAMES OF FREEDOM, where your grim & perilous tale hangs in the balance!\nReview \n"Every nation has its mythology. Most Americans know a few bits and pieces, such as the midnight ride of Paul Revere or George Washington's honesty involving cherry trees. Playing with mythology is one of the most fun parts of games like Dungeons & Dragons. Players love to face down monsters like the hydra, wander a Weird West looking for zombie cowboys or even discover what famous figures have been turned into vampires. The designers of Zweihander have a new game currently on Kickstarter that explores the mythology of one of the strangest places on Earth; the United States of America..."\nRob Wieland, Forbes.com\n"...Flames of Freedom provides players with the tools to create a unique narrative that combines familiar history with strange and terrifying dangers. It treats the people of that era with a level of respect and nuance and deliberately empowers characters who wouldn't necessarily have been afforded those freedoms and opportunities in that historical time period. This is a game that doesn't mythologize American history but rather uses it as a tool to celebrate the best qualities of humanity while also reminding people of the grim realities that horror can inflict upon people. The setting alone makes Flames of Freedom a must-buy, but I believe that any RPG enthusiast will enjoy this game."\nChristian Hoffer, ComicBook.com\n"When we think of American mythology, we often think of those stories we remember from grade school. George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. Paul Revere rode at midnight to warn of advancing British soldiers. Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. There's another side of mythology too; monsters, cryptids and creatures such as the hodag, Jersey Devil and the Headless Horseman. Flames of Freedom... smashes the supernatural, historical, legendary and conspiratorial together into a dark fantasy RPG for those who prefer muskets and tri-corner hats to dungeons and dragons."\nRob Wieland, Forbes.com\n"Flames of Freedom intensifies my desire to play Zweihander. It makes me imagine what it would be like to have friends gathered around a large old table, with notepads out, dice scattered around, strong coffee and booze to keep us going."\n"I think Flames of Freedom is an RPG that will make people feel proud. Gaming groups can rightly be proud that they picked a game with a modern outlook and use it for horror, proud that they've mastered this pr-gamer d100 OSR-vib
