Battles and Wars (PBtA)
 |
Battles and Wars is the Dungeon World expansion about large-scale conflicts in heroic fantasy. Some sections of the book may be useful for any gaming system and even just for creativity.
Battles and Wars gravitates to the "heavier" and "meatier" gaming style¸ still remaining in the boundaries of the Dungeon World framework. It might be more interesting to people who prefer to have a large variety of equipment and a plethora of available moves. It is still beneficial for everyone else¸ including broader themes and concepts besides charts of artillery and lists of weapons.
The book includes:
- Suggestions about fusion of heroic adventures with the military subject matter.
- Reasoning about historical and fantasy wars.
- Massive Battles gaming system¸ which allows to play out combats of thousands participants. New rules make it possible to deal with such matters without any problems.
- Special unit moves.
- Inquiry about medieval castles and new age fortresses.
- Revised version of artillery rules.
- Simplified artillery ruleset is included. It might be useful for groups that are more focused on story than on game mechanics.
- 73 monsters that can be used as followers or drafted to fight in units. Majority of these are taken from the corebook¸ but reworked to be fully compatible with the new rules.
- Very simple constructor that allows to create different warriors of any type. In game these can be used either as singular characters or as full units.
- And many more!
