For Guild & Glory

A fantasy role-playing game based on Forged in the Dark (Blades in the Dark).

Have you ever wished you could continue on your RPG campaign even with missing players? Have you ever wished players quitting wouldn’t derail your campaign? For Guild and Glory allows you to do this and more! For Guild and Glory (FG&G) is a fantasy game about a party of daring characters building an enterprising guild. We play to find out if the fledgling guild can thrive amidst the teeming threats that surround it and if they become more than “just another guild.” The story should be put first above mechanics. This is a fiction first type of game. FG&G has lots of fun mechanics and creative character options to build interesting and powerful characters, but always remember that the purpose is to tell an amazing story!

In this Game:

We play to find out what happens!

• In media res (in the middle of the action) is the default!

• The clocks are always ticking!

• The mechanics help us fight against the greatest Villain of all… the scheduling monster!

• Players may be missing at the table, but their characters can still be a part of the game.

• The cycle of play and guild mechanics allow players to drop in and out as necessary to accommodate their life.

• The players or the GM do not have to come with convoluted reasons the characters are together now or stay together. They have a common purpose they formed the guild to accomplish.

• The players help shape the story and the world itself.

• The characters are daring adventurers and so players should play their characters like they’re driving a stolen car!

• Players are encouraged to create multiple characters to populate the guild and provide players with more options for questing and roleplaying as well as building up reserves in case of character death or maiming/wounds that could put them out of action for weeks, months, or longer.

• Characters level up and so does their guild!

• If a player didn’t have a fantastic, fun time in a session…

• The players and the GM are constantly in conversation about what the world is and where the story goes

• The GM can lead the game with very little prep time. Or they can put hours and hours in just like any other fantasy rpg

• Players can make characters in 10 minutes, or they can spend hours or days pouring over options, writing backstory and crafting their perfect Player Character.

Play one of eight fantasy classes! Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue and Wizard.  Gather your friends, find some D6s laying around the house and create characters in about 15 minutes and you're off, creating new adventures with new stories to be told long afterwards.
