Osprey Games has now released their new roleplaying game, Heirs To Heresy: The Fall Of The Knights Templar. If you're interested in diving into a Historical-Fantasy roleplaying game then this might be worth taking a closer look at.

Heirs To Heresy delves into the mysticism of the era and blends together the historical forces at play during the period alongside folklore and fantasy.

"Heirs to Heresy starts as a historical-fantasy roleplaying game but is heavily influenced by Gnosticism, European Folklore, esotericism, and the myths and legends that surround the Templars. The game will ask you to craft the secrets of the Templar treasure, the enemies, and the mysteries they will face, as your Knights undertake a mystical journey to the centre of themselves along the road to Avallonis. The mechanics are a blend of narrative, storytelling rules, and classic adventure-gaming inspired roleplaying rules that work to create rich aspect-driven characters. As Templar Knights, your skill at arms is unquestionable, but it is the potential access to gnostic spells, unique powers, or intensely powerful faith sets you apart from your comrades."

I am always a fan of a game where the central premise promotes a vision for a group of players. Making all of the characters Templar Knights means there is a common bond already and it should make for interesting storytelling as you see where each player begins to reveal what makes them unique.

It will be fascinating seeing what stories folks decide to tell about this mystical order that is so intrinsically linked to all manner of real and made-up conspiracies and secrets.

Are you tempted to give this a go?
