DEAD HEROIC. a fantasy tabletop wargame 




The Basics: 

DEAD HEROIC (DH) is a tabletop fantasy game to be played with 28mm miniatures. The rules are intended to be easy to learn, simple to play, and more fun than frustrating. There is no measuring for movement or massive dice-rolling fits like many other games on the market…and the game-play itself is not burdened by an epic rulebook.

More importantly, the game is meant to be INEXPENSIVE. These rules are free, as will be any new rulesets, rule updates or supplements in the future. We promise. DH can be played with any 28mm miniatures that accurately represent the fantasy-fighters we have written into the game. We hope you already have a handful of minis in your collection that will work nicely for your own DH gang.

MOST importantly, DH is fast. Big, bloody, nasty, army clashing games are great, but these rules serve as an alternative to all-nighters of dice rolling. DH is simply a game of two gnarly gangs of fighters skirmishing over a few hunks of gold or other shiny bits. Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, Goblins, Beasts, Undead, Faeries, Spirits, or any other conceivable race of fantasy creatures exist in our world…..a world we like to think of as SOMEWHERE.

The story is up to you. The setting is for you to create…just make it fantasy, and make it fun.

You are encouraged to download the Beta Rules (version 2) and begin playtesting immediately!  The pdf download includes all of the rules and information to get started.....the only thing missing is a 'Fighter Characteristics' page which will describe the 'look' of each Fighter.
