chini and of all the authors of anthologies previously published by Acheron Books: Diego Cajelli, Marco Cardone, Giovanni De Feo, Masa
Facchini, Lorenzo Fantoni, Livio Gambarini, Michele Gonnella, Federico Guerri, F.T. Hoffmann, Jari Lanzoni, Federica Leonardi, Marco
Lomonaco, Mauro Longo, Mala Spina, Davide Mana, Luca Mazza, Giovanni Melappioni, Marika Michelazzi, Nerdheim, Elvio Ravasio,
Roberto Recchioni, Julia Sienna, Alessandro Vicenzi. A special mention goes to Vanni Santoni for his introduction to the second anthology
and to Andrea Mollica for the two game books of Stregoneria Rusticana.
Regno di Taglia, Fratelli di Taglia, and Penumbria were created by Jack Sensolini and Luca Mazza (Ignoranza Eroica).
Borgo Stricchiano was invented by Federico Guerri for “Bucinella – approx. 25,000 inhabitants”.
The game’s launch and financing campaign are managed in partnership with Officina Meningi, Epic Party Games and Ludiblood.
Our special thanks go to Guido Campanini and Luca Bellini for their work in support of the game’s very first version.

nter Brancalonia, a land full of pitfalls and profit possibilities, in the most incredible and
roguish Italian role-playing game you have ever participated in!
Create your own band of knaves, enlist in a free company, get assigned some well-paid
jobs, go give a fist and knife buffet to those deserving it.
When you have collected a nice loot and climbed the ranks of your company a bit, you
will be ready to try your luck, in that final job that could allow you to go out in a blaze
of glory...
After all, what could possibly go wrong?"
Zappa e Spada’s “Spaghetti
Fantasy”,
an anthology series published by Acheron Books, and
Ignoranza Eroica’s “Fantasy
di Menare”
(Fantasy of Hard Knocks) join forces in Brancalonia, the campaign setting
for the 5th Edition of the most famous role-playing game of all times.
A “back-to-front” version of Medieval Italy, this fantastic, fairy-tale influenced, roguish world quotes, collects and
mixes contributions from contemporary and classic Italian fiction, pop culture and collective imagery:
• Traditional Italian folklore and fairy tales, from
Le Piacevoli Notti
(The Pleasant Nights) by Straparola to the
eighteenth-century
Lo Cunto de li Cunti
(The Tale of Tales); from
Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio
to the most popular
collections of folk tales of the
Bel Paese.
• The chivalrous and courteous tradition, from medieval “cantari” (minstrel ballads) to Renaissance epics.
• Our period movies, such as
For Love and Gold
(or The Incredible Army of Brancaleone) and
The Profession of
Arms;
and international blockbusters with Medieval and Renaissance settings, like
Ladyhawke, The Princess
Bride, Flesh + Blood.
• Twentieth-century Italian fantasy masterpieces by writers such as Pederiali, Eco, Buzzati, and Calvino.
