Gallows Corner: Boxed Set

The year is 1376, five years before the Peasants' Revolt.
Half of England's people are dead from plague.
And you're about to become an outlaw.

Gallows Corner is powered by hope, rage, and the unshakable belief that everyday people can make a better world for all. Players are peasants and working-class people in an alt-historical medieval England. Outlawed by the crown's so-called justice, how will you survive? Who will you save? How will you change England for the better?

This boxed set contains the core rulebook as well as the four Gallows Corner Tales of Old England zines.

 DICE POOL SYSTEM
Each player character has three Experience dice: Physical, Emotional, and Intellectual. Roll whichever dice is relevant to the current situation as part of our simple and intuitive resolution system. All you need is a single success, so more dice means a greater chance of victory.

TRADES AND JOBS
Each character has a Trade, and chooses a Job from within that Trade. Trades and Jobs add more dice to your Dice Pool, increasing your chances of success when a Test is related to your Trade or Job.

RETINUE SYSTEM
Gallows Corner does away with traditional ‘levelling up' systems. In its place, gather followers and recruit them to your Retinue. Retainers grant you opportunities to approach challenges in a variety of ways, have their own skills and backgrounds, and grant extra dice in combat. And, when the time comes, choose whether to let your character die and replace them with a Retainer, or let a Retainer take the killing blow in your place!

POINT CRAWL
Explore every corner of England and take the fight to the crown wherever you may be. Travel seamlessly between towns, villages, and counties in a world that adapts itself to your actions. Wrestle control away from the crown and help shape the places that you liberate.

VISUAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Using diamond shapes, easily see the status of your character, your retainers, and your enemies. Quick, simple, and easy to learn.
