Description:

The 1PG line gets the sword & sorcery treatment with this beer & pretzels fantasy game from Jeff Mejia and James Stubbs. Following the tropes of cheesy barbarian movies of the 1970s and 1980s, Broadswordis the most burly and robust 1PG yet! Powered by Todd Downing's 1PG system, this game is so simple you can play it with a beer buzz, a head wound*, or BOTH!

As always, the 1PG is easy to learn, quick to play and fully disposable.

* Deep7 in no way endorses playing RPGs with a head wound - please seek medical assistance.

My original encounter with the 1PG system was Hero Force, which I accused of being needlessly deadly and unsuited to the supers genre. I stand by that, but admit that it fits Broadsword a hell of a lot better. Heroes are the right type of bad asses you [...]

A great system for one shot/short term pulp fantasy gaming. The 1PG system is highly adaptable, and fits this genre very well. While info on spell casting is limited, it fits with the genre (as most Sword and Sorcery characters didn't use magic themsel [...]
