Blightburg is a player driven game of intrigue and character drama set in a grim Renaissance era city. The dramatic intrigue is spiced with occasional action, witches and Faustian pacts with demons. The characters range from shifty lowlifes and zealous fanatics to powerful but flawed individuals involved in complex schemes. As a TV series analogy, think of it as a mash-up of Game of Thrones and Salem in the Renaissance period.

A Norwegian Freeform RPG. Imagine that you draw the essence from your own youth. You boil out the juices of the billowing leaves and make an elixir that gives you all of it, refined.
The real teenage years had many false starts. The party you couldn’t find. The boy or girl who never became a boyfriend or girlfriend. The time you went out for drinks and all your expectations of magic weren’t fulfilled.
Tonight something will be fulfilled. We don’t know yet what it is.
