Tone & Expectations

This will be a dark military fantasy with horror elements. I'm aiming for a dark PG-13 but with cuss words.

System: Band of Blades

Band of Blades is a forged in the dark RPG, ala Blades in the Dark. This is a game about finding out if you survive the oncoming army and if you make a difference in the war.

Playbooks, Role books, and more

The Legion

Chosen: The Horned One

Shapeshifting Chosen of the Panyar forest god.

When the Panyar goddess of the moon Nyx was Broken, the moon in the sky shattered. Where others were filled with fear, the young girl known as Silver Dancing Moonlight had only rage at the loss of her Goddess. She found an ancient temple and the Horned One offered her the Choice. Her rage fuels the Horned One’s; together they seek vengeance for their loss. They use shapeshifting to spy out enemy tactics before engaging and they guide with cunning rather than force.

Mystic favors benefit the Horned One.

Hide of the White Hind—All Specialists can speak to and understand wild beasts.

You can speak to animals, which opens up many resolve options, but whether those animals are willing to help you, and what their help might cost, is up to the GM. Trained animals are obedient, but focused on what they’re trained to do.
