"From the Introduction:
Hillfolk is the first game using the DramaSystem roleplaying rules engine. In a game of Hillfolk, players take the roles of Iron Age raiders struggling to protect and enrich their clan at a time of clashing empires.
In a DramaSystem game, players, aided by a Game Moderator (GM), collectively create a compelling, serial story of emotional need and conflict within a tightly-knit group of people.

To play this game, you need:
