Age of Blood & Iron is a role-playing game based on the European Middle Ages designed to be highly modular, allowing the GM and players to fine-tune the experience to their preferred level of complexity; from rules-light to high crunch. It's your world-You decide.
It is a classless, skill-based game where life path character generation allows for the creation of experienced individuals at GM-defined power levels reflecting the nature of the campaign; from common, everyday folk to mythic heroes or anywhere in-between.
The game utilizes a 2d6 versus target number dice system that is intuitive and applies to virtually all actions so it is easy to pick up and almost anything players might think of is covered by simple, straightforward rules.
