Welcome to Swords, a roleplaying game about people gifted with the ability to transform themselves into spiritual weapons that others can wield. Here you will find all about the Swords game and its rich fiction, enjoy!



The game takes place in a fantasy world which is a blend of fairy-tales and a romantic feudal England. This place is known as The Land of Names, a land where people still believe in magic, superstition, and most importantly: that a given name imparts genuine meaning.



Each game has one Circle of Swords, a complete set (so to speak) of Swords that will be part of the drama that unfolds in the stories told. The first step is to decide just how many Swords will be in the circle: five, seven, or nine. Each of these has their own creation rules, as so:

Rules for a Five Sword Circle
Rules for a Seven Sword Circle
Rules for a Nine Sword Circle
