Way back in 2013, Lizlarsen created a bunch of campaign record sheets for Torchbearer and put them on our forums. But we’ve since retired the forums, and apparently only users who had a login before we retired them can access the PDFs. So I’ve rescued them! Links below.
Welcome to Stone Dragon Mountain
Hello friends!
Looking for more harrowing places to take your adventurers? Look no further! Welcome to Stone Dragon Mountain (now on Kickstarter)
Stone Dragon Mountain is Sean Nittner’s epic adventure and campaign setting, inspired by the Himalayas.
Deep inside the frozen Stone Dragon Mountain, an unearthly fire burns. It is stoked by generations of hatred for the local mountain dwellers, who try to forget their shameful history appeasing wrathful gods. but before the mountain erupts into violence and fire, a few ambitious explorers will have the opportunity to climb its frozen peaks, learn its secrets, and plunder its hoards.
Will that be you brave adventurer? Or will the mountain consume you as it has so many others before?
The Road Goes Ever On and On
Hello friends!
A number of you have been patiently waiting for rules for overland travel in Torchbearer. Well, wait no longer. Here is a playtest draft of the rules. They are designed to interface with the weather rules in Middarmark.
Have fun and please send us feedback!
Shadow Operatives
Sometimes, what you need is a born hunter.
Ripley: “And you, you little shit-head… you’re staying here.”
Synthetic Technicians
Some jobs are too dangerous to give to humans or require more precision than humans can handle. For those instances, the Company supplies synthetic technicians.
Bishop: “I prefer the term ‘Artificial Person’ myself.”
Enjoy!
Special Contractors
Sometimes the Company needs to bring in a little something extra. That’s when it turns to special contractors.
Johner: “I’m not the mechanic here, Ironsides! I mostly just hurt people!”
Enjoy!
At last Middarmark
At last Middarmark.

Thor showed me this draft over four years ago. I told him it was amazing, but it wasn’t done. Since then, Thor has regretted that day and every day since. For I have born the lash against him, driving him to frenzy and madness.
But he finally did it. Middarmark is ready to enter this world.
Like all of our best work at BWHQ, this book has been a challenge for us. We’ve never done anything like it. Traditionally, we eschew setting and focus on evoking atmosphere through the rules. But Thor’s work is so powerful, so evocative, that it was worth breaking our own Beliefs. Even so, we made sure that every detail in the book is hooked back into the system in some fashion. Because, as ever, we don’t just want you to read, we want you to play.
We hope you like it.
