Band of Blades
The Legion is in retreat following a failed battle against the armies of the undead. You are a member of the Legion, your bonds to one another forged in the dark by bone and blood.
Band of Blades is a game that strikes a personal note for me because…I really want to play it. I love the material it’s based on.
