Brancalonia The Spaghetti Fantasy - Setting Book

“Enter Brancalonia, the kingdom of pitfalls and money-making opportunities, the most incredible and roguish Italian role-playing game you’ve ever been in!

Create your own band of knaves, enlist in a free company, get yourself some well-paid jobs, deliver a fist-and-knife buffet to those who have it coming.

Once you have collected a tidy sum and somewhat climbed the ranks of your company, you’ll be ready to try your luck in that major coup that could enable you to go out in a blaze of glory...

After all, what could possibly go wrong?”

Brancalonia is the all-Italian setting for the 5th Edition of the most famous role-playing game of all time.  Set in a “back-to-front” version of Medieval Italy, this unheroic, picaresque and roguish world quotes, collects, and mixes references from contemporary Italian fiction and over a hundred works of Italian fantasy tradition, pop culture, and collective imagery.
