Update April 22, 2020 Fantasy Map Campaign Idea- Online
March 30, 2020: Since we can't get together due to the physical isolation required by the Covid-19 virus outbreak.It seems like a good time to resurrect my idea from February 27, 2017 for a Kings of War (KoW) campaign but now as an online Fantasy campaign using either: KoW, Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) Mighty Empires, SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) or Hordes of the Things (HOTT) rule systems.All of four of the rules systems above have campaign systems for their fantasy worlds, but some work would be needed to make them work for an online campaign. There are PDFs for the WFB Mighty Empires and KoW campaign rules available online but for SAGA AoM and HOTT the campaign rules are in the actual hard copy rule books only as far as I am aware, but there may be PDFs available online somewhere.
The first challenge would be creating the map, I do have paper tiles from Mighty Empires I have downloaded that can be used to create a map. There is also the KoW campaign map below for "The Winter's Flood" designed for a Mantic campaign in 2017 that could potentially be used if I added some grid references.
The WFB Mighty Empires system is the more developed rule system having been around since 1990 and the full original version is 64 pages. This version and shorter ones can be found online, and I have a hard copy and PDF of the 64 page version and the shorter ones. The longer version is likely the best as it will have more detail on the board game / campaign aspect as we won't be able to play the actual miniature battles generated by the campaign. The rules have a system for determining the outcomes of the battles without a miniatures game. Here is a link to the 64 page PDF.
