A downloadable playbook

The Tax Collector is a playbook for the fantastic Wanderhome tabletop role-playing game. Wanderhome is a story about meeting others in your travels.  The Tax Collector playbook tells stories about loyalty and ethics when meeting those others.  The Floating Mountain is far away.  How do you do your duty, and how do you do what is best?

You work for the Throne, though here its power is far away.  One day you must return to the Floating Mountain and report on your actions.  Will they be pleased with your efforts?  You are alive.  Your care is exact, calculated, and morally uncertain.

Long before Scotch tape and lamination impeded the efforts of archivists and researchers to access unique information in a document, a whole world of fasteners existed to help hold documents together. In celebration of American Archives Month the Pieces of History blog hosted a series of posts on the history of the various fasteners and seals found in records at the National Archives.

A really interesting playbook that lives up to its promises of ethical conflict! I especially like the list about the different things that taxes might or might not actually be paying for.

Thank you!


We really wanted the “having to choose your morality” to be a core part of this playbook. It isn’t handed to you, hopefully, but takes active effort on the character’s part.
