I have a sneaking suspicion that at least in some US states this would be problematic with local health departments. I do not know, but it seems these departments might look askance at Joe Schmo handing an un-verifiably “clean” container into the food service area and hands of the workers.

 

Dragonbane is the latest TTRPG from Free League Publishing and marks a return for this OSR RPG - a popular Swedish role-playing game known as Drakar och Demoner. Releasing in August 2023, Dragonbane is a classic fantasy TTRPG that works well as an introduction to tabletop gaming. Even for veterans, it offers an easy-to-learn ruleset that won't bog down GMs or players with overly complicated mechanics. But with hard-hitting monsters, it's no walk in the park, either. In fact, "fast and furious play" is one of the main selling points.

In addition to creating RPGs that leverage IP like Aliens and Blade Runner, Free League has also been translating and revamping RPGs previously known to the European market. The game we’re looking at today, Dragonbane, has a storied history. Drakar och Demoner came about in 1982, originally as a game using Chaosium’s Basic Roleplaying system. Chaosium’s games were a big influence on the development of the game, which is why the 2nd edition of the game introduced anthropomorphic ducks into the setting, as a nod to Chaosium’s Glorantha setting.

Speaking of Glorantha, Drakar och Demoner has gone through multiple owners, as well as multiple settings. The game rules and the setting have converged and diverged over the years, until Free League got the rights to the core game system and Kickstarted the game in 2022. The Dragonbane Core Set is the result of that Kickstarter.
