Path of Glory – A Dragonbane Campaign

Description

Path of Glory was the first major adventure campaign for the original Swedish edition of the Dragonbane RPG (Drakar och Demoner). Originally released in three installments during 1985 and 1986: The Dead Forest, Gates of Power, and Heart of Darkness. This new edition, reimagined and updated by Free League and the original author Roger Undhagen, collects the trilogy in a single volume.

About Path of Glory

Path of Glory sees adventurers come to the legendary Dead Forest in search of treasure, glory and a solution to the ancient curse laying waste to the forest. The heroes soon find themselves embroiled in an epic conflict reaching back to the very foundations of the world. The adventurers journey through the forest’s depths, beneath the mountain, and into a strange new land where they will determine the fate of the world.

This full-color, hardback edition contains completely new illustrations by David Brasgalla and new cover art by Johan Egerkrans. Path of Glory uses the latest edition of the Dragonbane rules, and includes a large, double-sided map in format 432x558mm painted by Francesca Baerald.

The Setting

Dragonbane is a game of fast-paced fantasy adventures. The core game presents a core mythology of this fantasy world, focused on the eternal struggle between dragons and demons. The ruins of fallen kingdoms, worshiping either of these rival godlike creatures, beckon brave adventurers with the lure of hidden treasures.

Rather than describing entire continents, the core game focuses on the Misty Vale, a hidden mountain valley until recently overrun by orcs and goblins. In recent years, the orcs have retreated into the mountains, leaving the land open for explorers, settlers and adventurers of other kin such as humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, mallards, and wolfkin. The land lies open for adventure.

Mirth & Mayhem Roleplaying

Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. We call this playstyle “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” – great for long campaigns, but also perfect for a one-shot.

Dragonbane is a translation of Drakar och Demoner, Scandinavia’s first and biggest tabletop RPG, originally launched in 1982. This new and reimagined edition has one foot firmly planted in the heritage of decades of Swedish gaming and the other in the modern and innovative game design for which Free League Publishing is known worldwide.
