You are a born-to-lose vagabond, out of options, desperately hunting for lost loot in forlorn ruins. Cash slips from your fingers as easily as the blood from your wounds, but the dangerous call of the deep keeps drawing you back. The Burning Wheel’s grim and gritty fantasy game returns in an excellent new offer, packing everything you need to test your survival instincts in a hostile world.
This all-new bargain collection delivers the complete Second Edition of Torchbearer. It adapts the tight, resource-driven mechanics of the Mouse Guard roleplaying game to a much harsher landscape where light, water, and food are just as precious as gold. If you want to survive the horrors lurking in dark corners, your party will need careful planning and a lot of luck.

Torchbearer completely shifts the focus of traditional dungeon crawling by making the logistical and physical challenges of exploration interesting and fun. Rather than hand-waving your torches, rations, and inventory space, the game builds its central tension around them. Every action you take costs time, and as the clock ticks down, your characters accumulate debilitating conditions like hunger, exhaustion, and sickness.
The underlying game rewards mastery and tight teamwork. The game uses a structured cycle of phases, moving from the tense dungeon crawl to camping in the wild, and finally returning to settlements to recuperate. The Scavenger’s Supplement included in the starter tier is an exclusive highlight for collectors, as this specific stretch-goal book is not available on DriveThruRPG.
This time-limited deal is available until midnight at the International Date Line (UTC -12) on Monday, 13 July. All files are delivered completely free of DRM, allowing you to move them easily across all your digital devices.
