Hazelwood Abbey - DramaSystem playbooks

Following its successful premiere at Furnace, I’ve put Hazelwood Abbey on itch.io as a free download.

Hazelwood Abbey

Hazelwood Abbey is Downton Abbey meets Hillfolk. Players play an aristocratic family in a player-led dramatic game of emotional needs and wants for 4-5 players.

Hazelwood Abbey uses Pelgrane Press' DramaSystem rules engine to create a story of high-stakes interpersonal conflict. During the session, players create family members with conflicting needs and goals. And then we find out what happens.

Hazelwood Abbey consists of two sets of playbooks - one for upstairs (the family) and one for downstairs (the servants).

Upstairs playbooks

• The Earl
• The Countess
• The Heir
• The Spare
• The Eldest  Daughter
• The Youngest Daughter
• The Suitor
• The Cousin

Downstairs playbooks

• The Butler
• The Housekeeper
• The Valet
• The Lady's Maid
• The Footman
• The Housemaid
• The Cook
• The Scullery Maid

Download for free

You can download them for free on my Itch.io page.

I’ve proposed Hazelwood Abbey for Airecon in March 2024, and I’m thinking how I can run a DramaSystem game online.
