Sons of Liberty: The Swamp Fox
May 17
One of the more challenging design goals I set for myself when developing the core “good guys” in the Sons of Liberty – a sort of early 18th-Century American Avengers — was to ensure that every character had a relatively familiar counterpart in the meta-myth of the comic book universes players were likely to me familiar with.
