House of Bards
A Fate Core supplement set in the war-torn kingdom of Costracinni, where political ambition thrives behind the front lines. Players portray figures such as elven councilmembers, halfling candidates, and human reporters, working through rival factions, public opinion, conspiracies, and personal agendas. The supplement provides character-creation options, revised skills, political campaign rules, social stress mechanics, player-versus-player compels, and tools for developing intrigue over time. Vignettes and sample characters support campaigns focused on fantasy politics, journalism, and manipulation.
