What it is about

Ballads of the Lilypond is a poetic tabletop role-playing game — think Sir Gawain and the Green Knight , but everyone's a frog and it's set on the riverbank. You are a troubadour, wandering the lands of Idyllica. Every sunset you compose a song about the legendary Knights of Duck Bottom Pond! Yarns about these gallant frogs have kept you in ale and lodgings for many a year. Now, as the sun dips below the horizon, you bring out your lute and begin to sing... Played in a single sitting, for 1 or more players, no prep or prior roleplaying experience required. Each player composes a song about a courtly frog on a noble quest — by the end, every player will have an actual ballad, written at the table.
