Fellowship is a game for 3-6 players about going on an adventure, in the same vein as Lord of the Rings or Wakfu or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The system is loosely based on the Apocalypse Engine. In Rebellion is an expansion book for Fellowship.The Empire is an alternative to the Overlord playbook. Rather than stop an evil overlord from destroying the world as we know it, the Empire has already conquered the world(s). They succeeded. The fellowship must work as a rebel alliance to overthrow the iron grip of the fascist Empire and destroy it from the inside out. They have sources of power that empower the entire Empire as long as they stay standing, and Leaders who inspire their soldiers and make them stronger. Both their power sources and leaders must be destroyed or defeated to make the Empire collapse.Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpkHTkMV9ZU
