Includes all the rules you need to play and five quests from the original game. You can download and play right now, and also <a href="https://www.lamemage.com/follow/license-quests.html">make and release your own quests</a>.</p> <hr align="center" width="30%" noshade="noshade" /> <p>We sit down and pick the "slay the dragon" quest, but decide to switch things up a little: Instead of a dragon, we're trying to slay a terrifying cat. Because we're mice.</p> <p>In our first challenge, we try to raise a mouse army to face the cat head-on, but when we draw stones to see the outcome, more and more of our would-be recruits are overcome with fear and sneak away. Now for our second challenge we decide to lure the cat into a trap, but it's all going badly. We're scattered across the farmyard, unsure of what to do next, when we hear a foreboding yowl. The cat is loose.</p> <p>It's time to see if we succeed or fail. We gather the stones, hold our breath, and get ready to draw one last time…</p> <hr align="center" width="30%" noshade="noshade" /> <p><i>Follow</i> is a game where you sit down with your friends and play characters working together to achieve a common goal: your quest.</p> <p>The quest you pick decides the kind of game you'll play. You could start a rebellion, cure a disease, slay a dragon (or a cat), or get your candidate elected. If it's something people can work together to accomplish, it could be a quest.</p> <p>Will your characters stay united or will their differences tear them apart? Will they triumph or will their hopes go up in flames?</p> <p><i>Follow</i> is designed to be a reliable tool in your arsenal, a game you can whip out and play at a moment's notice. I designed it because it's the game I wanted to have in my bag when I showed up to play, something I could play over and over again with a whole range of people.</p> <p><i>Follow</i> is also designed to be easy to learn and easy to play. It has no game master and nothing to prepare. All the steps are clearly and carefully laid out so, even if you've never seen a role-playing game before, if you have some people and some time, you're ready to play.</p> </div> <div class="side"> <a href="Follow_New_Fellowship.pdf"><img class="cover2" src="follow-fellowship-cover-150.png"></a> <p class="buy" align="center"><a href="Follow_New_Fellowship.pdf">FREE</a><br/> <span class="buy-subtitle">(<a href="Follow_New_Fellowship.pdf">two-column</a> or <a href="Follow_New_Fellowship_mobile.pdf">mobile</a>)</span></p> <a href="https://www.lamemage.com/store.html"><img class="cover" src="follow-cover-150.jpg"></a> <p class="buy" align="center"><a href="https://www.lamemage.com/store.html">BUY NOW</a></p> <div class="side-header">Latest News</div> <ul> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4411/steal-these-quests/">Steal These Quests</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4382/saving-xmas-well-that-went-south/">Saving Xmas: “Well that went… South”</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4331/the-feast-eating-snacks-and-making-peace/">the Feast: Eating snacks and making peace</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4308/roundup-you-cant-handle-the-truth/">Roundup: “You can’t handle the truth!!!”</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4196/the-haunting-the-house-awaits-you/">the Haunting: The House Awaits You…</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4150/the-prison-break-were-bustin-out-of-this-joint/">the Prison Break: We’re bustin’ out of this joint</a></li> </ul> <div class="side-header">More Quests</div> <ul> <li>» <a href="https://jack-edward.itch.io/the-feast">the Feast</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gmless/comments/1gxpezf/follow_homebrew_the_trial/">the Trial</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://lessthanthreegames.itch.io/the-farm-a-quest-for-follow">the Farm</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://lessthanthreegames.itch.io/the-prison-break-a-quest-for-follow">the Prison Break</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/3924/the-candidate-a-quest-for-follow/">the Candidate</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/4196/the-haunting-the-house-awaits-you/">the Haunting</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://plotbunnygames.itch.io/new-quests-for-follow">12 quests from Plotbunny Games</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://www.lamemage.com/follow/license-quests.html">Template & guidelines for making your own quests</a></li> </ul> <div class="side-header">More Resources</div> <ul> <li>» <a href="red-and-white/">Make Your Own Red & White Game</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://michaelduxbury.com/2018/12/17/mini-review-follow/">Mini-Review: Follow</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lamemage/follow-0">Kickstarter campaign</a></li> </ul> <div class="side-header">Actual Play</div> <ul> <li>» <a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/the-giant-beastcast-episode-84/1600-1847/">Stealing the New Year (Giant Beastcast podcast)</a></li> <li>» <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/856/heartbreak-at-suicide-ridge/">Heartbreak at Suicide Ridge</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/896/do-you-think-youre-beautiful/">Do You Think You’re Beautiful?</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ0snHDJGuC2GEr13W_5eFqlQzqCpBPC-">Once Upon A Game podcast</a></li> <li>» <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/848/awaken-kanaguk/">Awaken, Kanaguk!</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://storygamesseattle.com/messages/boards/thread/50056212/">Stealing Back Dreams</a></li> <li>» <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/820/the-colony-strength-vs-beauty-truckers-vs-slugs-follow-at-go-play-nw-part-3/">Colony: Strength vs Beauty, Truckers vs Slugs</a></li> <li>» <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/813/follow-at-go-play-nw/">Rebellion: the Hills of Ixtraban</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://storygamesseattle.com/messages/boards/thread/50304177/">Anyone Can Be a Hero</a></li> <li>» <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/767/eye-of-the-kraken/">Eye of the Kraken</a></li> <li>» <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/794/hackers-homework/">Hackers & Homework</a></li> <li>» <a href="https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/tag/play-inside+follow/">more games on ars ludi…</a></li>  </ul> <p>Sign-up for <a href="https://www.lamemage.com/subscribe.php">email updates</a> or keep up with all the latest on the <a href="http://arsludi.lamemage.com/">ars ludi blog</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div id="footer">Lame Mage Productions | Copyright © 2005-2025 Ben Robbins, All Rights Reserved | info@lamemage.com</div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
