This is a brief overview that lays out the basic of setting up and playing a game of Kingdom.
Recommended number of players: 3-5, Play time 3-5 hours on average
Kingdom is a 'GMless' game, you don't need a Dungeon Master or Game Master setting up the rules and the world.
We recommend picking up a copy of the rules from Lame Mage. They have copies available as PDF and physical books. Try your friendly local games store. If they carry role playing games they probably carry Kingdom.
In addition to players Kingdom only requires a handful of components:
1) Rulebook
2) Character Sheets - available to print or copy from the rule book.
3) Index Cards & Paper
4) Writing Utensils

“By now we'd come to look at all replacements as dead men who temporarily had the use of the arms and legs. The came and went so fast and so regularly that sometimes we didn't even learn their names. Truth is, after a while, we sort of avoided gettin' to know them.”
