Publisher: Dragon Trove LLCContinuing in the tradition of S&S one page products is A Swiftly Falling Empire. These rules add a dimension of ploitical play, warfare, and the saga of the grand campaign to your S&S adventuring career.
The North Eastern Empire of Great Velkar, the last bastion of Law on the world of Kyrthandria, is besieged on all sides by the powers of Chaos. Weakened by many years of decadence and infighting, the imperial armies are now no match for the dark hordes that stream across the empire, leaving fire and ash and black magic in their wake. Nothing can stop the darkness now.
Except, perhaps, your stalwart PCs!
A Swiftly Falling Empire is a simple, randomized programmed system that simulates the war between the last empire of law and the powers of darkness. Though it will contain a lot of surprises, the system is set up that the empire will eventually be defeated, unless the players prevent it with heroic actions in the dungeon, upon the battlefield, and in the halls of power.
A Swiftly Falling Empire adds in a whole new realm of "political treasures", that allow the actions of the characters to have a progressively greater effect upon the fortunes of war, and, if the norns are with them, to perhaps turn the tables on the invading servants of the enemy.
Warfare is handled in a manner that does not disrupt the player's gaming, with large scale battles handled in a completely abstracted manner if the PCs are not present, or as a small scale critical skirmish action if they are.
