Ironclaw and Jadeclaw Tabletop Role-Playing Games
Created by: Jason Holmgren of Sanguine Games
This series features anthropomorphic characters in a setting inspired by class and religious conflicts during the Italian Renaissance. Additionally, Jadeclaw is a related game set in a concurrent East Asian setting.
Publication History
The first edition of Ironclaw was initially published in 1999 by the independent publisher Sanguine Games. In May 2002, it was voted the most-popular furry RPG in a public poll, which included works of the same era such as World Tree and Furry Pirates. The second edition was published in 2010 and has since sold over 10,000 copies.
System
Ironclaw uses a system where character attributes are matched to different polyhedral dice. These include physical, mental, and social capabilities, along with species-based abilities. This system was also used in Sanguine's other RPGs, including Jadeclaw.
