Polaris (2005 role-playing game)

Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at Utmost North (2005) is an indie role-playing game[1] written by Ben Lehman and published by These Are Our Games. Polaris is a collaborative roleplaying game, and as such differs from many role-playing games in that there is no single "game master".[1] A player's "opposition" is controlled by the other players in the game.

Polaris won the Indie RPG Award for Innovation (2005)[2] and Indie RPG Game of the Year Award (2005),[3] was "Runner up" for Best Support (2005)[4] and Best Production (2005),[5] and was also "Runner Up" for the Outie Award Best Sui Generis RPG (2005).[6]

An Italian language translation of the game was released by Janus Designs in 2009[7] and a Spanish one is scheduled currently 2012.[8]
