Through Friday, November 29 we present the Brancalonia Bundle featuring English-language .PDF ebooks of the Brancalonia Spaghetti Fantasy campaign setting from Acheron Games (Milan, Italy) for D&D Fifth Edition and compatible systems. Set in a topsy-turvy version of medieval Italy (the title alludes to a 1966 Italian comedy film, L’armata Brancaleone), this unheroic, picaresque, and roguish world draws on Italian culture and pop-culture from Umberto Eco to Corto Maltese – Renaissance epics and Italo Calvino – The Princess Bride, Pinocchio, and a hundred more. Brancalonia is a brawly low-fantasy land of legendary knights and skilled treasure-hunters – but you’re not them. You’re Knaves: lowlife swindlers, slobs, and scoundrels who get pulled out of prison to fix things after those heroes mess up. You might take Jobs from talking mice, omnipotent fairies, devils from Inferno, and foul-mouthed marionettes. If you climb the ranks of your free company, you can hope to pull off a heist that will set you up for life. What could possibly go wrong?
This all new Brancalonia Bundle gives you everything you need (well, aside from the D&D 5E rulebooks) to run light-hearted, low-magic adventures for easygoing Knaves who may not prevent calamity but will definitely drink good wine beforehand. For just US$12.95 you get all four English-language titles in our Brancalonia Collection (retail value $53) as DRM-free .PDFs, including the complete 196-page Brancalonia Setting Book, plus the free Quickstart rules; The Macaronicon rules expansion; the war-themed full-length campaign The Empire Whacks Back; and a miscellany of characters, equipment, monsters, and adventures, Jinx’s Almanack. We also include the pay-what-you-want Digital Lasagna with tons of digital artwork, characters, maps, and tokens.
This Brancalonia offer gets jinxed by a Chitinominious animated corpse and vanishes beneath the Capitolium in the ruins of Plutonia Friday, November 29.
