Factions & Feuds

A tangled web of intrigue, backroom deals made and broken, conflicts waged overtly and in the shadows. The stakes are high, with great rewards for those who prevail.

After centuries in transit, the colony ships have arrived at humanity’s new home. With the ships failing, the colonists are eager to set foot on the planet’s surface and begin life anew. As the head of colonial security, you advocate a cautious approach. Ship maintenance is pushing for a quick exit, concerned about catastrophic failures. You’d expect medical to want caution too, time to assess the impact of local microbes on humans, yet they are pushing for immediate egress and settlement. What do they know that you don’t? How can you ensure that colonial leadership takes the cautious path, your path? How will you influence the population to wait?

Factions & Feuds is a tabletop role-playing game of political intrigue and bureaucracy, where you play a power broker managing fast-paced, world-changing events. You influence groups, protect your secrets, and uncover others’ secrets. As you seek the truth and pursue your goals, you’ll form and betray alliances.

Powered by Lester Smith’s d4ceTM role-playing game, it’s light enough to encourage improvisation and deep enough to sustain intrigue. For more information on d4ce, visit Les’s site here.

Factions & Feuds originated from my distraction and obsession during the Covid-19 lockdown: megagames. Megagames are large-scale simulations that combine elements of role-playing games, tabletop games, and wargames. These games can involve a dozen to several hundred participants, typically divided into teams with shared goals. For a good introduction to megagames, check out Watch the…

Posted on June 5, 2026June 6, 2026 by Kurt

I should start by saying that I develop Factions & Feuds when it brings me joy. Letting it sit for periods of time helped my mental space and gave me perspective. Factions & Fueds has been kicking around in my head for about four years, with its inspiration firmly in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown….
