Fire in the Spires

This is a Preview Page for an In-Development Game Coming to Kickstarter

Fire in the Spires is a single-player dungeon climbing TTRPG, and the sequel to my much loved dark single player dungeon crawler A Torch in the Dark. Much like in that game, you are tasked with fighting against corruption that threatens the fair city of Kyneburgh, and delving into dangerous places to do so. But this time you take control of a party of rebels, and must use your wits to try to make the most of their meager traits and talents to climb five towers full of brutish soldiers, cunning traps, and dark magics of twice-dead nobility.

It is coming soon to Kickstarter! This will fund both development and print copies of Fire in the Spires, and a revised edition and second printing of A Torch in the Dark! Check it out to find out more about the game!

Fire in the Spires is a standalone game. If you never played or read A Torch in the Dark, this game will be a good introduction to the new mechanics and lore of the world and history of Kyneburgh. If you loved A Torch in the Dark and don't want to engage in the new mechanics of assembling a crew of rebels, there will be ways for you to climb the spires of the rich and infamous with a single delver using their skills and items. Treat it like an expansion pack of five new dungeons with hundreds of encounters!

Each of the five spies of Kyneburgh will offer insight into the ongoing revolution, present different paths for your to choose from, and will task you with interesting narrative and tactical challenges that your crew of rebels will need to overcome, or die trying. Using the Blades in the Dark rules system, players assembles pools of six-sided dice to overcome encounters during climbs, and during downtime they can clear stress and damage and recruit new rebels to the cause.
