Role-Playing Games grant you the ability to re-create yourself as a hero who can join an adventuring party and go on quests for wealth, glory or more than just a little thrill.

Minature Wargames Section

Playing a miniature wargame is like custom selecting a chess army and adding dice. Take command of mechanical armies, ferocious beasts or outlaw mercenaries! Deploy your forces and unleash devastating tactical attacks until nothing remains of the opposition!

Your only chance for survival lies in mystical soulstones and their ability to cheat fate...
