Welcome to the Age of Arthur
Siege Perilous is a solo and troupe (group) roleplaying game about Arthurian knights questing across England, featuring unique mechanics utilizing tarot cards. You will travel through the life of your knight, encountering characters, enemies, and NPCs. You will undertake quests, both for your own advancement and that of those you serve alongside and for, in a land awaiting to be discovered.
Siege Perilous about getting older and moving past old scars that still pull at you. It’s about loss, discovery, pursuing perfection and failing. It is about romance, battle, conflict, duty, loyalty, love, faith, and death.
The gorgeous wraparound cover is by Jon Hodgson of Handiwork Games, and all the interior and tarot art is by Tom Brown.
Siege Perilous is powered by a heavily rewritten and modified version of Firelights by Fari Games. You will use tarot cards to define your quests and goals, while using dice (two six-sided ones) and minor arcana cards to resolve and undertake actions. The game features one quest for every major arcana, as well as rules for battles, manors, challenges, aging, and romances.
