ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Town (London, but everyone simply calls it Town) has elected a new Mayor recently! And as all good neighbors do, the village invited him over for tea. The problem is, no one expected him to actually accept the invitation!
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that somewhere between the first dainty sip of tea and the final, venomously hurled piece of cake, Aunt Alice’s bridge game had taken a regrettable turn. . . In the RiverBankTM roleplaying game, you and a few reputable (or otherwise!) Animal friends reside in an idyllic English countryside setting created by award-winning writer Kij Johnson. Weave a cozy narrative of social adventures, escalating situations, and impending disaster with more than a few unexpected twists. Celebrate festivals, attend Ms. Badger’s literary salons (for the hors d’oeuvres, if nothing else), and nurture (occasionally sabotage) relationships with one another and a charming cast of nonplayer characters. Welcome to the River Bank—your story is about to begin!
