It was universally agreed 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…Welcome to the RiverBank Roleplaying Game! In this cozy narrative game of Animal characters, social adventures, and more than a few unexpected twists, you and a few reputable (or otherwise!) Animal friends will find a new home in an idyllic English countryside setting created by award-winning writer Kij Johnson. RiverBank is a game of escalating situations and impending disaster. Your Animal characters will partake of village life - celebrating festivals, attending Ms. Badger’s literary salons (for the hors d’oeuvres, if nothing else), and nurturing (occasionally sabotaging) relationships with your fellow players and a charming cast of non-player characters. Welcome to RiverBank - your story is about to begin! This beautiful collector's edition features a cloth cover with foil stamping, a decorated spine, and full-color endpapers and a ribbon bookmark.
