Lo! Thy Dread Empire
A downloadable game
Lo! Thy Dread Empire is a tactical roleplay game / narrative wargame where you fight The Skeleton War against The Death Cult of Capitalism!
It takes wargames in the Blanchitsu/Grimdark/28 aesthetic and fuses them with modern tabletop RPG sensibilities. The result puts you in command of sweeping, nail-biting battles where the rules and narrative work together in harmony.
The game specifications:
- 2 Players Minimum
- 1-2 Hours Playtime
- Token-Based Mechanics
- Miniatures and GM both optional
Lo! Thy Dread Empire is perfect if you would like to try a game which elevates the storytelling and tactical aspects of violent conflict, if you need a sub-system to run battles within tabletop RPGs/Storygames, or if you want to see the grimdark style powered by an undying anti-capitalist heart!
While the full version is in development after a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, you can download the first 30 pages as a Work in Progress PDF and start playing now!
