FLAMES OF FREEDOM is an American Gothic horror tabletop role-playing
game, Powered by ZWEIHÄNDER RPG.
It is the dawn of the American Revolutionary War of 1776. A tangled web
of conspiracy spans North America. It does not matter what your creed,
color, culture, faith or gender is--all stand together in the war for
survival. Every Rebel patriot holds Thomas Paine's Common Sense aloft as
they take up arms against the British Empire. The city of Boston is
occupied by the Red Coats, surrounded by Rebel militias. But as the
revolution has begun, something far more mysterious stirs.
Agents of the occult entreat both the Continental Army and British
Empire. Freemasons conspire in the City of Brotherly Love. Maryland is
in the throes of a witch hunt by the Knights Templar. Amid the chaos,
other grim fairy tales have emerged.
Ghouls have been tunneling beneath Boston. There are sightings of
witches in the Great Dismal Swamp. Indigenous sachem speak of devils who
walk among the living. The Leeds Devil haunts the Pine Barrens of New
Jersey. And worse still, a shadowy collective called "The Mandoag" seeks
to consume all, Loyalists and Rebels alike.
In this game, most people have either chosen to deny the supernatural or
rationalize it away. A rare few accept it for what it is to act. You are
among those heroes and destined for greatness... or death.
This alternative history game includes most of what you need to play: a
player's handbook, a game master's guide, a bestiary, and an
introductory adventure set in Boston. All that's left are a few friends,
pencils, and a handful of dice.
