Two armies prepare for war. Thor, surrounded by crackling
lightning, leads the assault of a horde of Viking berserkers.
Preparing to receive this charge stands a wall of grim-faced,
determined Spartan hoplites, commanded by Ares himself... Of Gods
and Mortals is a skirmish wargame that gives players the
opportunity to command the greatest heroes, warriors and monsters
of legend - and the gods and goddesses that ruled over them.
Whether you want to lead the forces of Greek, Egyptian, Celtic or
Norse mythology to battle, or build your own pantheon, Of Gods and
Mortals presents everything you need. Each player takes control of
a god, a handful of legendary characters and a number of mortal
troops, forming a warband that must work in harmony to succeed.
Although the gods are incredibly powerful, they are only as strong
as the faith of the mortals who follow them - if their worshippers
are cut down, gods become weaker, and if a deity is vanquished in
combat, its followers may flee the field of battle. Success lies in
employing a strategy that uses all your troops, from the mightiest
to the most humble, as effectively as possible.
Rogue Stars is a character-based science fiction skirmish wargame,
where players command crews of bounty hunters, space pirates,
merchants, prospectors, smugglers, mercenary outfits, planetary
police and other such shady factions from the fringes of galactic
civilisation. Crews can vary in size, typically from four to six,
and the character and crew creation systems allow for practically
any concept to be built. Detailed environmental rules that include
options for flora, fauna, gravity, dangerous terrain and
atmosphere, and scenario design rules that ensure that missions are
varied and demand adaptation and cunning on the parts of the
combatants, make practically any encounter possible. Run contraband
tech to rebel fighters on an ocean world while hunted by an alien
kill-team or hunt down a research vessel and fight zero-gravity
boarding actions in the cold depths of space - whatever you can
imagine, you can do.
A Fistful of Kung Fu brings the hyper-kinetic, bullet-spraying,
demon-slaying, kung-fu-fighting action of Hong Kong movies and
Asian cinema to the wargames tabletop. In a modern world walking a
precarious line between the advances of next-generation technology
and the tradition and mysticism of ancient cultures, Kung Fu
schools face off in no-holds-barred tournaments, corporations hire
agents and spies to steal each other's secrets, overworked SWAT
teams respond to gunfights between feuding Triad and Yakuza clans,
and ancient artefacts are sought by hopping vampires, demon
sorcerers and cyborgs alike. Combining the gunfights of John Woo's
Hard Boiled, the hand-to-hand combat of Enter the Dragon, the sheer
mystical weirdness of Big Trouble in Little China, the wuxia action
of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and everything in-between, A
Fistful of Kung Fu is a skirmish wargame unlike any other.
