Folk Hero
ESTIMATED RELEASE: JULY 2026
Folk Hero is the follow-up to expansion for Punk is Dead, a post-apocalyptic songwriting game. It features a standalone solo mode that doesn't require the original rulebook, but also contains more lore, creatures and gigs that will work in the multiplayer game.
Taking place in the same alternative version of the UK, the United Kingdom, Folk Hero gives you the opportunity to explore the world as a lone troubador. You'll find yourself touring this fractured isle, helping the helpless, kicking bad guy ass and creating protest songs that kick back against a land tormented by a fight for power between monsters both real and imagined.
Just like it's predecessor, Folk Hero is divided into tracks that deliver the lore, rules and much more through the evocative language and layouts of Tim Roberts combined with human made art from multiple creators and the author's own photographs. The finished book will at least 90 pages, presented in the same hardback format as Punk is Dead (7 inch square) and with the same eclectic designs and Pantone colours (803u and 806u if you're a total colour nerd).
