Nocked! 2.0.7

The peasants of Nottingham bow under the weight of Prince John’s taxes; nobles fall to the Sheriff’s political machinations; deserters from the Crusades pillage the land; and fairies lure the unwary into the depths of mist-shrouded Sherwood Forest, never to be seen again. Enter the tumultuous world of a mystical England at the conclusion of the Third Crusade. Maid Marian hides breathless amidst the brambles following the ransack of her father’s castle; Little John demands a hefty sum in gold to traverse a solitary log; and Will Scarlet presides in a dilapidated tower encircled by towering trees, anticipating a king who will never arrive. The moment is ripe, a spark is ignited – emerge from the ruins of your abode, from obscurity, and enter the realm of legend. You are Robin Hood.

Nocked! is a richly-illustrated text-centered role-playing game suitable for brief interludes or extended sessions. Define the exploits and persona of Robin Hood, the rogue of Sherwood Forest; enlist comrades, form unions, seek affection; and navigate a course between warfare, diplomacy, and perilous enchantments. Your decisions leave a lasting mark, molding the world, but you cannot navigate this journey alone.

Where storytelling converges with stratagem, your renown spreads and loyal Merry Men join your ranks: Establish and enlarge a sanctuary in concealed recesses, manage your spoils from raids on tax collectors, and brace for the impending arrival of the Sheriff of Nottingham. There is no foolproof route to triumph, no solitary choice that will secure your resistance; will you succumb beneath the Sheriff’s oppressive rule or establish a movement to withstand time itself? The fate lies in your hands.
