Hey folks!

I had a chat with my buddy who's deep into wargaming, and guess what? He's working on something seriously cool – an epic wargame with 5 champions on each side, all playing out with cards, dice, and a ruler for movement. It's like a mix of Skyrim and Conan, with diverse factions, badass races, and a world that'll pull you right in.

I'm totally stoked about it and wanted to throw the question out to you all. What do you think of this concept? Any suggestions or features you'd love to see in a game like this? I'm all ears and can't wait to hear your thoughts! Let's make this game epic together!

Judgement works around this idea, and despite glowing reviews it seems it's never gained popularity :(

There are also similar miniature board games, like decently selling Super Fantasy Brawl or Polish Skytear. Both have very favourable reviews and both use cards instead of dice.

Also, if you just wanted to market a game, you could have started with an honest post about it, instead of beating around the bush with your previous topic.

I'm not trying to market anything at the moment and it was not my intention to beat around the bush I apologize for this. I'm doing some research at the moment and asking experienced wargamers like yourself if the concept has been done before and if you would like to play such a wargame. Again I apologize if my first post was like that. Thank you for your Insights given.

There isn't really enough information on which to offer an opinion. I'd want to see something concrete; some models/artwork/concept sketches to gauge the aesthetics, an example of how the rules work, packaging, some examples of factions with background etc. You need to offer more than name dropping two massive franchises as inspiration.


Good luck with it, though. I hope that you get something together to be able to gather interest.

Judgement is a fantastic game that's mostly been held back by a ridiculous cost of entry. Absolutely worth picking up now that the cost has been brought down to reasonable levels..

Godtear creates a similar vibe, though I fell out of love with it fairly quickly and Steamforge is not exactly the most dependable company for supporting a game....
