The Burn

We are a band of charcoal burners, living outside society by our own ways and working the oak woods of south-west Britain, sometime in the 1200s.

It is filthy, thankless work. 

Burns last for up to five days and nights. Piling up the wood is backbreaking work. Tending the fire calls for constant attention: sleeping in shifts, pushing through fatigue, and standing watch in turns each night.

And the woods are old, and wild, and hate fire like winter hates the living...

The Burn tells the story of a band of charcoal burners tending their fragile fire, and the visitors they face in the unfriendly shadow of the forest. It is a GMless historical RPG about ritual, sacrifice, and vigilance. 

It is a game for 3-5 players and takes between 1 and 2 hours to play. It requires the use of candles and matches to play. 

This game is brought to you by the generosity of my Patrons, and especially Cassandra. Thank you all so much.
