The Jinx’s Almanack #1 is a hardback, full color Collector’s Edition that brings together the first three issues of The Daily Jinx, and some hard-to-find and well-loved adventures such as For a Fistful of Hops, Showdown at Borgoratto, and The Bigat’s Treasure, plus the extra material that will eventually be unlocked as stretch goals during the campaign!
In the history of Brancalonia, the territories south of the Crown Mountains are officially rebel provinces of no value to the Altomannic Empire, that refuse to pay taxes to the royal treasury and have been ignored by the northern sovereigns, because a military campaign to reconquer them and maybe even gain something never looked promising.
However, laxity in paying taxes has now become unsustainable, and the Emperor decided to invade the Left Boot to remind the Southerners who’s in charge, and he is doing so with an unending cohort of heralds, vassals, warlords, and knights.
After some threats and skirmishes, mostly never even fought since the hired mercenary troops keep changing sides and so no one is really able to reach any sort of military supremacy, the Emperor found a possible solution, a more diplomatic one: he betrothed his youngest daughter to the most prominent dauphin of Tarantasia’s nobility, to cement Galaverna’s loyalty and try to spread the Imperial alliance, bringing with it a series of puppet allies.
Players can decide to side with the Landsknechts and the Imperial cities, or with the rebel League of Free Towns against the Altomannic army. In both cases, the Knaves will travel through a country impacted by war, roaming soldiers, ravagers, renegades, and deserters, while carrying out tactical missions for their Leader, searching for the opportunity that will let them make the Big Hit of their lives!
So, this is it: a new loot for the award-winning, one and only Spaghetti Fantasy RPG on the web!
