Stand-Alone D@W

General ACKS Forums General Discussion

So, will Domains at War support stand-alone play? That is, while I understand that D@W is designed to let high-level characters do what it is they do in play, will it have systems to allow me to easily roll up or quickly design a few domains on a map, and then pit them against one another with my friends?

Basically, I’d like to be able to play fantasy war-game battles, and track the consequences for my domain and acquire new lands and so forth, without having to necessarily play in an ACKs campaign for months to set things up.

I don’t know if that’s clear, but that’s what I’m asking, I guess. Can I fully enjoy playing D@W, without playing ACKs?

It has stand-alone battle rules, but not stand-alone campaign rules, if that makes sense.

It does, thanks. That’s a shame, but I’m sure I can fake it with the ACKs book. :slight_smile:
