In a RiverBank game, you join an intelligent society of anthropomorphic Animals and enter their life of cake and teatime by the slow part of the river. Here, the charm of cottagecore meets the whimsy of sophisticated critters as they navigate the intricacies—and often the bedlam—of polite Animal society.

Weave farcical or dramatic tales of elegant characters on curious quests. There’s room and time to celebrate friendships, navigate social niceties, and enjoy the unique dynamics of Animal life. Attend tea parties, stroll through gardens, dance at fancy balls, and win the prize at the village fair—all while trying to dodge difficult relatives and keep a stiff upper lip.


Grab your friends and get ready for hilarity in the cozy RiverBank RPG—everything you need to play is included in this beautifully illustrated volume! (Just add dice.)
 
 The Limited Edition is a collector’s dream, with a cloth-bound hardcover, foil stamping, and a black skiver for a traditional look to the spine. It also features custom endpapers and a ribbon bookmark. Only a limited number will be produced and offered during this crowdfunding campaign and will not be reprinted.


Here are some initial stretch goals for RiverBank, with many more planned. Each of these goals provides backers with an enriched experience or thrilling additions to the final RPG, such as new scenarios crafted by designer Kij Johnson.




RiverBank RPG promises the perfect add-ons and accessories to elevate your gameplay.
 
The RiverBank RPG is a brand-new system optimized for 3 to 5 players, using standard dice (d4, d6, d12) to resolve player decisions while balancing the characters' Animality and Poetry sides. Fall too far into one side or the other, and total disaster may follow! 

With the RiverBank Two Deck Card Set, you can quickly draw to engage in downtime activities and add unexpected shenanigans to your games. Betweentimes and Haphazardry cards are tarot-sized and come in a single box.

Or show up to impress with the Rosewood 10-Dice Collection & Dice Bag, designed with a special D12 just for RiverBank mechanics. 

In addition, two tea flavors are available, supplied to Kobold Press by the fine tea purveyors at D&Tea. Each comes in a RiverBank-inspired printed tin. Choose between Pother Black Tea and Poetry Herbal Blend

However, Animals on the RiverBank know it's always best to have a variety of tea if your Great Aunt arrives unexpectedly, so why not get both!?
