Flames of Freedom is an American gothic horror RPG, powered by the Zweihander RPG d100 game engine. Intensely researched by Richard Iorio and developed by a diverse group of game designers, this game explores a range of cultures beyond the history of Europeans in North America. Developed with Black cultural consultants in key decision-making roles, interwoven with Indigenous writers of the nations represented in the work and guided by RPG safety and trauma experts, this game will show that colonial horror can be represented in a mature way.
This game represents a melange of heritages and conflicting beliefs, one where cultures and genders outside traditional standards were equally as instrumental in fomenting and conducting the rebellion. And, although traditional games set during the Revolution place men at the fore of the conflict, Flames of Freedom calls upon the true history: one where heritage and genders outside the norm were just as important – and, oftentimes working behind the scenes – during this pivotal time in America’s founding.
