Publisher's blurb: Recusant is made for use with Hexploratores, the grand hex crawl setting and supplements, and is intended to allow for low fantasy role play of ordinary folk drawn by duty, obligation, or necessity into dangerous situations- the farmer and citizen soldiers who must endure war, kingly scheming, the dangers of the wild unknown, and monsters of myth and legend. It is built from the Year Zero Engine as its core, albeit with significant changes to the Combat system in particular. Despite these changes, Recusant is intended to be readily reverse-compatible with the Year Zero Engine and most games derived from it.
