I haven’t had the opportunity to post in quite a while but work on the Bloodfall Campaign System has been proceeding at quite a steady pace. As such I figured that posting to update y’all on this progress would probably be a good idea. So for anyone new reading this for the first time, let’s answer that pressing question: What is the Bloodfall Campaign System?

What is the Bloodfall Campaign System?

Put simply, the Bloodfall Campaign System is an all-in-one fantasy tabletop roleplaying and miniatures wargaming system. It is a d100 roll under percentile system somewhat in the vein of games like Mythras, Runequest, or Stormbringer but also pulls design influences from classic Rolemaster and TSR era Dungeons & Dragons. The system features a fully playable wargame and a detailed Realms system for the management of player and non-player character domains. The setting of the system, the world of Ereth, is influenced very deeply by the sword & sorcery fiction of the early 20th century (Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Clark Ashton Smith). Its magic system is based heavily upon historical occult practice from the medieval period and classical antiquity. The enitre system will be released using the Open RPG Creative License (ORC License).

Once all of the books in the Essential Rules are completed they will be released as a bundle and we begin a Kickstarter to be able to release an edition with fully bespoke art.

Supplements and The Future

Once the Essential Rules have been completed we will move on to supporting the game with supplements both for the wargame aspect (Faction Supplements) and the tabletop roleplaying aspect (additional vocations, ancestries, general rules supplements, and adventure modules. We have big plans and many ambitions for the possibilities of the Bloodfall Campaign System and hope that you join us on our journey!
