Lo! Thy Dread Empire Pre-Launch Page Live NOW!
is a narrative wargame
where The Death Cult of Capitalism has blasted the Earth, turned cities to ruins, and almost extinguished all life itself. However, the seed of a new world bursts from the soil as undead masses rise up to wage their final struggle: The Skeleton War for the liberation of both Life and Death!
It takes wargames in the
/
/
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 to buy units, scout the battlefield, issue orders, and swing key moments in your favour
Write tag words or phrases to direct units in an intuitive, story-driven way
Miniatures and GM both optional - the whole game can be played using pen & paper alone!
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!

I recently shared a table at both the Edinburgh and Glasgow Zine Fairs with the highly talented Laurel Ambrose. If you have not seen her work before, I highly recommend taking a look at her itch page. She makes whole games, useful game aids, and even sculpts miniatures!
IN OTHER NEWS....
BE SEEING YOU was reviewed both on Hessan's County and At the Gaming Table. Both give some invaluable insight into the game. Highly recommeded viewing.
After the success of our 2021 zine, Edinburgh Indie Gamers are working on a second zine. I'll post here as soon as there are more details.
Pre-orders for a|state are now live. Step inside a baroque urban nightmare, and bring hope to your corner of The City.
That's everything for now. Expect an email update on launch of the Kickstarter campaign for Lo! Thy Dread Empire, and another just before it ends.
