ICYMI yesterday ⚔️
Blood of the Covenant is a game about mercy and justice, about trying to uphold conflicting ideals, about authority and power and how we use it. Angels guide a lone knight through a quest, oaths are made and broken, and the sword hangs over it all. Available in playtest edition now.
Blood of the Covenant - Playtest Edition by Owl Knight Games, by Jennifer Adcock
Guide a knight on a holy quest, balancing oaths to kings and gods, mercy and justice.
