CHAMPIONS!
I’m veeery proud to announce Brancalonia Kickstarter because one of the stretch goals it’s an adventure I wrote!

“Enter Brancalonia, an anti-heroic land full of pitfalls and profit possibilities, in the most incredible and roguish Italian role-playing game you have ever participated in!

Create your band of Knaves, enlist in a free Company, get assigned some well-paid jobs, whack some chiacchierone and go give a fist and knife buffet to those deserving it.

When you have collected a nice loot and climbed the ranks of your company a bit, you will be ready to try your luck in that final job that could let you go out in blaze of glory…

After all, you are in a fantasy version of Italy: escape from guards, taste La Bella Vita and gain big money with some dirty job. What could possibly go wrong?”

Brancalonia is the all-Italian setting for the 5th Edition of the most famous role-playing game of all time.
This anti-heroic, picaresque and roguish world is a “back-to-front” version of Medieval Italy. It quotes, collects, and mixes together references from contemporary Italian fiction and over a hundred works from the Italian fantasy tradition, pop culture, and collective imagery.
