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]
