BATTLE FOR DIRATIA
Battle for Diratia is an easily accessible and elegantly simple Wargaming and RPG hybrid.
Are you a fan of realistic fantasy? A connoisseur of Sci-Fi, space travel, and wargaming? Or even a GM looking for an exciting RPG system with constant updates? Then Battle for Diratia (AKA BFD) is for you!
We are all too accustomed to the generic rogue that steals cash right in front of the enemy or the battle grizzled warrior veteran fighting the evil guys of “generic fantasy name.”
So how do you get out of these tropes and create interesting and unique stories that will be remembered by your players for years?
Well... This IS BFD.
This system is made by two GM who, tired of switching system mid-campaign, decided to make a more versatile system.
Characters that feel human, a unique universe and a system that is ever evolving and contemporary. BFD as a combat system can adjust to every group, every setting, style of play, and player.
You will never have to learn another rule set. BFD works for 3v3 skirmish, for immersive roleplaying, and for 1000v1000 total warfare.
Go ahead and try one of our scenarios available on our Patreon or Website. You will understand why this system exists and why you need to use BFD for your games.
Now, let's go and create the best roleplaying/wargaming/political game we can, TOGETHER.

Where to Start?
In this game, the possibilities are limitless. Battle for Diratia gives structure to your stories and battles.
The game is in Alpha, what does that mean?
Yes, the game is in Alpha. This means that we are asking for your indulgence for incomplete sections or imbalances in the game as we are actively working on it to make it better.
This gives you an opportunity to be part of this project by playtesting it and giving us feedback. Your feedback will directly serve to make the game better.
What is a Roleplaying Game?
A tabletop roleplaying game is anything where players come together to build stories. Usually the players have one character that they build and play through the multiple adventures the characters go on.
You need to understand that it is not because the rules do not focus on the story that it is not important. It is difficult to create fun rules for stories, that is why we mostly leave it up to the GM.
Examples of popular roleplaying games include : Dungeon & Dragons, Fate and Call of Cuthulu
What is a Wargame?
Tabletop wargames are any type of games that focus on a military conflict ant this may vary from skirmish games of 2 to 20 units up to army level battles of 10000 troups or even more.
Casual exemples of wargames could be Chess, Stratego or Risk.
Complex wargames have more types of units and strive to give the players the feeling of being a commander on the field.
Examples of popular wargames include : Warhamer 40k, Frostgrave and Bolt Action
What is a GM?
The GM is the GameMaster.
To play Battle for Diratia you do not need a GM, but this means you will play a more competitive game instead of a collaborative game.
The GameMaster has many responsabilities, such as:
-
Present challenges to the players, this includes deciding what types of challenges and what difficulty they are. -
Running the game session, the GM has most of the control on the game and is often the one calling the shots. -
Keep things moving, the GM has the responsability to make and keep the game interesting for everyone at the table. -
Play the NPC's, each player controls their own characters, but the GameMaster controls all of the NonPlayerCharacters, even the bad guys. The main challenge is to give each character their own personality and make them feel unique to the players. (Battle for Diratia includes a NPC generator that helps to make this task easier.)
What do I need to Play?
The basic tools that you need to play are:
-6 sided dice
Miniatures can be anything and serve to represent your characters and units as long as they are all in the same sizes.
We reccomend Miniatures on 25mm bases as they are extremely common. You can support us by buying our miniatures, but they are made for 3d printers. You can also find some online or in your local hobby store.
