You know the legends…

Beowulf slays Grendel, Hercules beheads the Lernaean Hydra, Rama rescues his love from the demon king Ravana. But what songs would we sing if Grendel had triumphed? Is Ravana the hero of another story, yet to be told?

In The Victor’s Tale, two players tell the story of mythic beings locked in battle, rolling dice to determine who gains the upper hand. When the dust settles, only one stands victorious, and only one version of the tale remains.

The Victor's Tale is a short narrative tabletop roleplaying game. You will need:

  • Two players
  • Up to 12 6-sided dice (3 - 6 per player)

The Victor's Tale was selected for inclusion in the 2022 Level 1 Anthology by 9th Level Games. You can download the whole collection here.
