Blue Rose is an RPG of romantic fantasy – what does that mean, exactly? Well, you can find out by trying the free Quickstart Rules.
Blue Rose was putting romance in fantasy well before anything by Sarah J Maas or whoever is at the top of your romantasy lists these days. It first came out as an alternative to D&D 3.5, and has since evolved into an extension of the Adventure Game Engine. One that you can try for free, right now!
Blue Rose Quickstart Rules – Free On DriveThruRPG
Blue Rose is the original romantasy RPG. Taking inspiration from authors like Mercedes Lackey, Tamora Pierce, and Anne McCaffrey. It is an RPG where your bonds and your relationships matter as much as your personal power. And in the latest ruleset, all you need is a d6, some pen and paper, and your friends.
Always gotta have your friends. I guess you also need a copy of the rules. But fortunately, they’re free, right now on DriveThruRPG. You can take the Blue Rose Quickstart ruleset for a spin and see if it’s your cup of tea.
“In the green shadows of the Pavin Weald, a wolf goes missing, and our heroes are charged to discover where she might have disappeared to. Journey through these old wild woods on a trail of hope and desperation, where hope offers a way out of a bad life, and some soul-deep bonds – however new – are stronger than what keeps us mired in the pain of the past.
Welcome to the world of Blue Rose, the game of romantic fantasy roleplaying for the Adventure Game Engine (AGE)! Contained herein are everything you need to start playing in the Kingdom of Aldis.”
This being a Quickstart kit, it gives you a basic rundown of the rules. Just enough to be dangerous. And you also get an introductory scenario: the Rhy Wolf’s Woe, which not only introduces you to the way the game plays, but to the world of Aldea and its unique take on fantasy tropes.
Aldea awaits, what will your adventure be?
