Blood Sword is a series of choose your own adventures from Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson that starts with The Battlepits of Krarth and now heads to Kickstarter.
The notify page for the grimdark setting is live on Kickstarter, so you can get a heads up when it launches, joining 800+ other people who have signed up for the alerts. It’s as if early bird deals are a thing!
This 5e supplement is based on the 80s gamebook and due to launch soon. When? Well, Officina Meningi the Italian publisher hasn’t said beyond “June”, but you can book a Discord session for the 5th and 6th.
Blood Sword is the sword of life, the only weapon capable of opposing the power of the evil Wizards of Krarth who threaten the Lands of Legend. Your mission is to recover the fragments to put an end to the looming evil, but you will have to face the inhospitable kingdom of Wyrd, labyrinths full of traps, frightening creatures and enemies of all kinds.
You will receive neither help nor any pity, since you have never had any for your enemies; you are nothing more than a pack of mercenaries and fanatics, surviving the worst battles through ferocity or cunning.
Seldom both.
Blood Sword 5e quickstart
Curious? A free to download quickstart is available via Google Drive and embedded below.
You’ll play as a mercenary or bounty hunter serving the Ruling Knights of Legend in the game. That means it’s your livelihood to win wars, defeat monsters and safely fetch cursed relics. Those relics might well include fragments of the Blood Sword, the only weapon that might defeat the apocalypse-trigger Krarth Magi.
There’s a Facebook group for more information, questions and comments about the project.
