RPG: Kings Of War Gets Its Own RPG – Kickstarting Now
Mantic’s epic fantasy setting, Kings of War, is getting its own RPG system that blends a unique mechanic and 5th Edition rules to bring you two ways to play.
That’s right folks, Kings of War is getting its own roleplaying game, allowing dedicated players to set foot into the world of Pannithor and explore through pen and paper the worlds that have previously only been accessible through the fantasy miniatures battles of Kings of War, Vanguard, and Dungeon Saga. Launching along with the Red Scar website that has considerably more information about the rules, the game still has two weeks to go on its Kickstarter–now’s your chance to get in and grab some exclusive rewards.

Welcome to the Kings of War the Roleplaying Game Kickstarter! Pledge now to help us fund an RPG set within the epic fantasy world behind the extremely popular Kings of War miniatures game.
Kings of War is a fantasy setting of epic scope. Originally envisioned through the medium of a tabletop wargame, Pannithor has since been expanded with the Dungeon Saga board game and the Kings of War: Vanguard skirmish game. With Kings of War the Roleplaying Game, GMs and players will be able to explore this grandiose fantasy setting like never before!
The balance and stability of the world of Pannithor was cataclysmically destroyed in a long-ago age. The surviving Celestians — the gods worshipped by many races — were torn in two, each split into a ‘good’ and ‘evil’ aspect as their energies sundered with the breaking of the enchanted Fenulian Mirror. The surviving deities that now presided over the world, the Shining Ones and the Wicked Ones, plunged Pannithor into an age of warfare as they led man, elf, dwarf, and other species into the countless bloody battles of the God War.
The main goal of the Kings of War RPG Kickstarter is to get the book published:
The core book will not only greatly expand upon the factions that have already been introduced by the board games, but will also introduce several new ones. It will also delve further into the history of Pannithor, from the very Day of the Apocalypse to its current timeline, some twenty years later. Global affairs will also be explored, including a closer look at the new super powers that contend on the world stage.
Rather than act as separate entities that share the same setting, part of our aim is to provide as much cross-platform support as possible for the Kings of War franchise. We will be including crossover rules for Dungeon Saga, Vanguard, and Kings of War. Bust into a dungeon and claim a relic that will help with future adventures or engage in a skirmish that will make exploration easier in later scenarios. The possibilities are endless!
