- Kobold Press Blog: How to Design and Publish With Black Flag Roleplaying
The Black Flag Reference Document is an important document for publishers hoping to publish content compatible with Black Flag Roleplaying.
- BFRD Launches
With the launch of Black Flag Roleplaying from Kobold Press, we’ve launched BFRD.net to serve as your go-to source for the publicly-available rules text, published for free under the ORC license.
This site is still very much a work in progress. We intend to make quality of life improvements to the site over time, and there are almost certainly issues in the content which we’ve missed.
In the near future, this site will display banner ads. We’re hoping to keep these very modest in order to keep your experience with the site pleasant.
Are you interested in learning more about Black Flag? Kobold Con is this weekend, from May 10-12, 2024. Join in for seminars on Black Flag and organized play!
To get the latest updates from BFRD.net, we invite you to follow us on Twitter, or check the site from time to time. If you have feedback or find issues with the site, we invite you to email us at Contact@BFRD.net.
