I've just released a free on-line Faction creation and Campaign administration web-site for the Victorian Fantasy Horror skirmish game 'Empire of the Dead' (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/empire_landing.php) by West-Wind Productions.

'Empire of the Dead' is a skirmish game with a campaign system similar to Necromunda, Mordheim or Blood-bowl. Your guys skill-up, improve attributes, die horrily or get permenant disfiguring injuries I love that sort of stuff.

The 'Umpire of the Dead' - online at http://www.umpireofthedead.com - can track Campaigns, create Factions and produce printer-friendly rosters for use during and after the game.

'Umpire of the Dead' runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, Android phone, or any other device with a modern web-browser. Though some of the edit functionality is limited on touch-screens.

Nice idea. I'll give it a run-out. Wasn't terribly taken with EotD at first encounter (first impression: great concept, slightly disappointing miniatures, under-inspiring game) but am still open to the idea that it might improve with use.

I think it's a good stand-alone game but at it's best as a campaign with friends. So that's what I'm trying to make as easy as possible.

It's the war-band development stuff that really draws me in. I love that in Blood Bowl - in that particular case it turns a good game into a great one IMO.
