What it is about

THE REVOLUTION FAILED Once upon a time we asked ourselves, “Who among us would delve into the dark?” Who would carry the torch of the people’s revolution? Who would help take our future back from the demons and the undead? Now flames alight in the streets, rebels arm themselves, and the people once more declare with one voice that the world will not be this way again. Who will climb the many stairs of our new oppressors? Who will brave the bailiffs’ fury? Who will throw our lords from their towers? Who will be our fire in the spires? A SOLO SPIRE CLIMBING RPG A follow up to the much-loved single player RPG, A Torch in the Dark , Fire in the Spires uses the same innovative Blades in the Dark mechanics to tell another thrilling tale of revolt in the fantasy city of Kyneburgh. Instead of a lone delver exploring dark dungeons, you assemble crews of 3 rebels at a time to climb one of the five city spires. Stitch a banner to carry with you that shows your triumphs and failures and gives you bonuses as you climb! Track the days on the people’s revolutionary calendar, and recruit rebels from across Kyr and beyond! Throw the false lords from their spires or die trying!
