BattleLore

Your initial discovery of the seductive world of fantasy may still be etched in your mind…

She may have introduced herself through the exquisite details of Tolkien's Middle Earth; an enthralling first night spent deep inside Master of Magic’s computer masterpiece; the excitement and intense focus that you brought to the development of your first role-playing character; or the fascination that struck you the first time you saw incredible, hand-painted miniatures in the back of a hobby game store.

Or perhaps, going further back, you remember the wondrous stories that magically emerged from the nooks and crannies of your bed covers as you made up your own legendary tales while playing with the miniature knights of your childhood.

BattleLore invites you to relive all of this and more, in a time and format compatible with today’s life, namely – short playing sessions; a strong online community; an easy-to-learn, yet deeply engaging game system; superlative artwork and game components; and finely tuned game mechanics.

While you may find a few familiar gameplay elements, this comprehensive new game system promises to enchant hobby gamers worldwide for many years to come. Welcome to the age of BattleLore!

Dawn breaks cold and damp on the edge of a European forest as old as history itself.

Last night, your scouts stumbled upon the remains of a hastily departed Goblin camp. Sure enough, this morning their Crescent banners are silhouetted against the horizon, joined by a colorful sea of English pennants flying high above companies of noblemen on their war mounts.

Will the forthcoming battle unfold as planned? Are your vaunted Dwarven mercenaries worth their costly wages? If you've chosen wisely, your place in history seems assured. If not... surely your heirs will pay the ransom... won't they?

In a world that bridges history and fantasy - BattleLore™ puts you in command of a vast array of miniature troops on the battlefields of Medieval Europe.

Assembling a group of wizened old Lore Masters - men of faith and magic, tricksters and grizzled warriors - is only one of many challenges you'll face. The proper deployment of troops, careful choice of allies, timely spell-casting and good old-fashioned treachery are all important skills to master!

The doorway to epic fantasy adventures, BattleLore lets you relive the best of your role-playing experiences with family and friends, for an hour or an evening of fun.

The scenarios are what set the world of BattleLore apart from the Medieval Europe of history books.

While many things remain the same, as you delve into the Lore Adventures you cannot help but notice some important differences: Increasingly frequent sightings of mercenary bands of mythical races on the battlefield; whispered tales of monstrous creatures; and a growing influence of men of lore and great power. This arcane power often walks the razor's edge between science and witchcraft... but it is the surest sign yet that something very strange is afoot!

Lore is the subject of many a conversation in the world of BattleLore. To some - commoners, skeptics and fools - it is nothing more than myth or legend; yet to others - men of substance, strength and wisdom - it is a source of power and intrigue. Lore is a doorway to wondrous feats; the chance to change history; a beguiling and dangerously seductive quest; an art and a craft - balanced between science and the sacred.

In terms of game play, Lore is the gateway to legendary actions on (and off) the battlefield. Lore tokens act as the currency that fuels the actions of the players’ legendary characters. Be they a man of deep faith, a wizard of legend, a bold fighter or a sneaky rogue, all rely on their Lore Powers to help win the day when armies clash on the battlefield.
