Cadwallon: The Free City
A tactical fantasy role-playing game in French and English¸ designed for use with miniatures and compatible with the Confrontation fantasy miniatures game. The game world is a traditional fantasy world (Aarklash) inhabited by Elves¸ Dwarves¸ Humans¸ Goblins¸ Orcs¸ Ogres¸ and Wolfen. The game is set in the free city of Cadwallon¸ which was founded by a mercenary company and leases troops to the various nations surrounding it that are in the process of entering a massive war¸ the Rag'narok. It uses a d6 dice pool system where characters have attitudes rather than standard attributes. The attitudes are Pugnacity¸ Style¸ Sleight¸ Opportunism¸ Discipline¸ and Subtlety. Character creation is by picking a race and culture (which modify attitudes from their base of 2)¸ distributing some flexible points for skills and raising attitudes¸ and then picking 3 trade ranks from the 37 trades. Tasks are resolved by rolling a number of d6 equal to your skill level¸ taking the highest and adding the appropriate attribute to compare against the difficulty. In action scenes¸ dice are split between an action pool and reaction pool -- which are refreshed according to the character's trade scores. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
