BLACK DEATH: BOHEMIA 1380
A downloadable game
BLACK DEATH: BOHEMIA 1380 is a rules-ultra-lite, one-poker-card RPG you can play either solo or with a group of up to 5 players (4 characters + 1 GM). You only need to print out this card and find one twenty-sided die to play. It is playable in under an hour.
The game is based on a historical publication about the town of Kolín that I have read recently (Dům U bílé labutě by Prof. Zdeněk Pokorný, for those who speak Czech - it is fantastic!)
The game presents one short scenario - your group of desperate refugees are fleeing the plague-stricken town of Kolín to get to the Royal town of Kuttenberg (Kutná Hora in Czech – the town you might remember from the world-famous game Kingdom Come!) to seek safety from wild animals, fury of nature, bandits, but mainly the many military companies that have completely decimated your town and its people...
The game is intentionally deadly and unfair, just like 14th-century Bohemia was - dying is not only an option, it borders on certainty. Although Mork Borg was not a direct inspiration, the tone is somewhat similar, dark, and almost hopeless - again, the game is based on real historical events, not idealized fairylands.
