Brush your fur and sharpen your eye teeth. War is coming.
Welcome to the War of Ashes RPG: Fate of Agaptus! This “grimsical” minis-friendly tabletop RPG is based on the popular miniature game. Head off to adventure in a world where the inhabitants might look cute and cuddly but often carry pointy objects with which they might just decide to stab you. Play as a determined Elvorix, a vengeful Vidaar, a militaristic Jaarl, or a ravenous Kuld. Stage Romanic-style battles and then celebrate your victory with a pint of kogg.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to get started, including:
- Fate-style lightweight approaches combined with detailed minis-compatible combat to get the best of both worlds.
- Character generation instructions and even sample characters to get you started on a romp across Agapta.
- A bestiary full of interesting creatures that you can tame, hunt, or light on fire.
- Plenty of settings and stories to fuel your campaigns.

I was part of both the Alpha and Beta playtesting for this and really enjoyed it. Any update or news on when we will see the final product? Sophie and the rest have done a bang up job on it.

Hi William. We’re doing internal playtesting now. We’ve run three games with the latest versions of the rules and will probably run two more. After that, we do our final edits and go into layout at the end of the month. I expect layout to take two months (LOTS OF ART) and then we commission any additional art needed, proofread it, and sent it to the printer. I expect it to be out Q3!
Thank You for the reply Sean. Really looking forward to World Of Ashes. It’s a fun setting.

Hey, just saw you guys at Strategicon this last weekend and played Shieldbash. Introduced it to my friends, and they all love it! As avid role players, we’re all super excited to have this as an RPG as well; and to make it better it’s even on our favorite system. 🙂 Any idea when in September it will launch?
