DRAGONBANE from

Thanks Paco and Tycho.

It's an excellent game and well presented. The boxed set is great value for money too, I'd recommended that over the hardback as you get a lot in rhe box (rules, standees, scenarios, dice, map).

Yes... after reading the book, the box set is the same but it doesn't have the short adventure at the end of the hard back. Given how much material there is for this game, I would advice buying the box instead, to be honest.

Hi, you're indeed correct about the cover having Moorcock'ish vibe, as far as I know that particular picture was meant to be Egerkrans' interpretation of Elric facing a dragon. That come from the fact that the original Drakar och Demoner from 1982 was an hack of Runequest/Stormbringer and the 1991 edition even had Elric on the front cover (see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakar_och_Demoner). I'm very biased toward Dragonbane, but I think my boss described it perfectly saying that it is the right middle ground between OSR and D&D5e, a really simple old school game with just enough modern twists to work. Also, I pretty convinced that it is set in the same world of Forbidden Lands (or rather the other way around), since there are a number of common elements.

I'm with you about the mix of 5E and OSR. I felt the game gives you plenty of freedom to do anything and be very cinematic whilst providing with some very cool modern takes rules-wise. I think I could easily migrate to this system and leave most of 5E rules behind.
