Conqueror
Conqueror is a battle add-on for tabletop roleplaying games, intended to expand on your game’s of choice large-scale battle mechanics and add flavor to them.
Just like our previous add-on, Duelist, Conqueror is meant to work with your game, without replacing any of its systems. Many RPGs don’t come with ready battle rules, so Conqueror has a simple set of rules to play them out smoothly and without stalling the game - with them, you can describe the events on the battlefield overall.
Scale up your combat games!
Conqueror’s goal isn’t to create big clashes of soldiers taking the spotlight away from the players - on the contrary, the guidance and rules in this booklet are tailored specifically to let the player characters and major NPCs shine, changing the outcome of battle through their decisions.
Conqueror has five major parts:
-
battle theaters,
-
armies,
-
battle events,
-
major characters,
-
grand strategy.
You can use them right during the game, following the simple guidelines to create armies, heroes, and epic strategies on the fly during your game thanks to the decision dice, or use a Game Master fiat to choose what fits best to your ongoing game.
