WHAT IS THIS?
Warmonger is the second Bad Roll Games rulebook and uses largely the same mechanics as our previous game, the already established Punkapocalyptic that was released in 2014, in what we have cleverly called the Punka System.
In fact both share the same universe, since this setting you have in your hands was born in the wake of the supplement for the role-playing game The Unholy Lands (only released in Spanish), which put players in the skin of inhabitants of a post-apocalyptic place so crunched and deformed by the atomic hecatomb that seemed to have opened a portal to a land in a dark, evil and twisted stone age. Its inhabitants could be considered new settler races of a place on the margins of time, protagonists of a kind of post-apocalyptic sword and sorcery (a genre we just pulled out of our sleeve).
Drawing heavily from influences such as the TV series Primal, the animated classic Tygra or Psygnosis’ Shadow of the Beast video game trilogy, this new setting transports players to a second brutal, merciless Stone Age at the mercy of sinister powers.
This game is probably published 40 years too late. Because of its violence, its tenebrism and its cheap eroticism, it is more a product from the 1980’s than a product of today’s times. The same can be said of the Punkapocalyptic line, and yet it’s still there after 10 years. It seems that going against the grain is a trademark and, let’s not kid ourselves, a pride in itself.
