Broadsword: Complete Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Broadsword is an epic fantasy adventure game that seamlessly brings together elements from classic board games with elements from tabletop roleplaying games to result in something truly extraordinary — not quite a full RPG, but much more than a simple board game.

Inside this package, you will find:

  • Complete Rulebook - Everything you need to play the game. Just grab some friends and either a gridded game mat or a virtual tabletop and get ready to start your adventure!

This does not include any other components of the game.

To get a better Broadsword experience, make sure to also pick up the Quest Book titled "Conquering Despair" and all the extras - character sheet, tokens, VTT cards, and more!

Although the Complete Rulebook includes descriptions of every card available in the game, for the most complete gaming experience, get Just the Cards printed, and hold the power of all your spells and skills in your hand!

In addition, Bloody Eye Games has partnered with Heroic Maps to provide all the tilesets used in the "Conquering Despair" Quest Book in one convenient bundle, and at a 20% discount. Click the image below to check it out!

Broadsword Bundle

There are 2 PDFs here for the Rulebook and the Questbook has also 2 PDFs. Both products seem to have duplicate PDFs with identical names.
Is there any reason I'm missing why these are duplicate? Is there any difference between the two PDFs?

Hi Michael, thanks so much for your support. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I looked into it and you are correct. There should have only been one PDF for each product (they are both identical). I've now corrected it. Thanks again!

Looking good I just printed up a bunch of your stuff from the forums. I bought hard copies of everything and was looking at the PDFs. I got two PDFs of the quest book and the rule book. They seem Identical. Was one supposed to be color? I am assuming all of the spells are supposed to have the same backs. I would have thought the would be different for the various types of spells.

It all looks great and can't wait for the cards.

Hi Pete, thanks so much for your support.

The Quest Book is supposed to be in color and the Rulebook is B&W. For the cards, you're right. All the Spell cards have the same back. The reason for that is because the kickstarter didn't achieve enough in stretch goals to afford separate backs for all the decks (there are a lot of decks).

Cool beans. I figured it was something like that. I also know when you’re actually going to formally publish you need to make sure everything is sourced correctly and it can get pricey.

By the way, I found your stuff by looking at and printing a bunch of your hero quest prime stuff that was still floating around. I turned the cards into sheets to make it easier for people to use at a convention I’m running at. If people ask do you mind if I share those images, they do still have your name on them, but if it’s too close to this I could see where you wouldn’t want those PDFs handed around.

From an official standpoint, HQP no longer exists. I'm a little surprised some of that stuff is still floating around, as I had removed the sources from public view. But of course, Nothing Is Ever Deleted From The Internet, so I shouldn't be surprised, heh.

I very much appreciate you asking about the PDF sharing. I would really prefer if you didn't. Instead, in the future, you can direct people to bloodyeyegames [dot] com. If you'd like to continue this conversation in private, feel free to email me at bloodyeyegamesinc [at] gmail. Thanks so much, Pete!

Game looks good, are any basic map tiles included? If not which Heroic Maps set would you recommend? I wouldn't want to buy the bundle for $75 just the minimal to get started.

Hi Joe, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

There is only one map included in the Extras package, custom created for the game. I can't resell the others. As for recommending a set, I would suggest your choice of Heroic Maps' Geomorphs sets. Even if you have a map or tileset that doesn't match the image in the Quest Book, you can adapt it as you see fit.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
