"Veil of the Ages: The Breach" gives you the perfect
entry point into the world of wargaming. Collect and paint beautiful miniatures, craft epic stories featuring your heroes, and play online with friends from all over the world!
[h=1]Low entry barrier[/h] Many fantasy lovers are skeptical about wargames because of the money and time investment they usually require. This is why we developed "Veil of the Ages: The Breach". A starter set in a
small box, with
pre-assembled miniatures to paint,
simple rules to learn, and at a
low price tag. You will only need two miniatures and one page of rules to start playing. We created 5 scenarios that will help you learn the core mechanics of a skirmish, and that pave the way to a richer, more complex game system. Each scenario is so simple that its rules fit into a single
gaming card. The perfect tool for stepping into a new hobby... or for sharing your passion with a new player!
"Kamorko, you are crazy! That palace is full of elven guards!"
[h=1]Holistic wargaming[/h] Tabletop wargaming is a fantastic hobby, which brings together
gaming, crafting and socialising. Matches can be incredibly rewarding when you know how to apply the rules to your advantage,
and you play with your splendidly painted miniatures,
and you can meet old friends or new like-minded people at every game... But these skills are not developed in one day!
You only need a printer (and maybe a pair of scissors) to start playing!
For this reason, we wanted to make sure that even players with no experience in painting miniatures or in building scenic terrain can enjoy the game from the very first minute. This is why we will also distribute a
free pen&paper version - all you need is access to a
printer (not included in the starter set!). Download the rules cards in one of the available languages, print them, cut them out, and have a match.
There is something magical about games that only rely on paper and dice. You are immediately transported into a world of storytelling. This is particularly true for "Veil of the Ages: The Breach", where game mechanics are so easy that players can truly concentrate on the story behind the match. Why did
Kamorko take the reckless decision of infiltrating an elven palace on his own?! A good story is something that every fantasy fan will appreciate, and that the youngest among our new players will surely love!
"That dwarf thought he could escape me..." (if you're not an elf, you might need to zoom in)
But what if you live in a remote area with few players, stores or gaming clubs? No worries. With your support, we will turn Veil of the Ages into a
free videogame expansion - all you will need is access to
Tabletop Simulator (not included in the starter set!). You can then emulate the tabletop experience, walk around the battlefield, look at miniatures from all angles, roll dice, and play against opponents from all over the world.
With your pledge, you will contribute to the creation of an international online community of videogamers. At the same time, the simple rules and low prices of "Veil of the Ages: The Breach" can help you build smaller communities in gaming clubs and local stores. Local or global, bidimensional or tridimensional, physical or virtual: you decide!
[h=1]Community development[/h] The wargaming world has changed drastically in the last few years. Community-based projects such as The Ninth Age ("T9A", more details
here) have mustered the energy of passionate players, hobbyists, game-designers, wold builders and artists. Veil of the Ages embraces this community-based spirit, and recognises that a true 21st century company must listen to the desires and the
input from players. We will poll the community with questions about miniatures, rules and videogame features. The Veil of the Ages headquarters are no ivory tower!
Moreover, Veil of the Ages will support
The Ninth Age by creating free print-at-home supplements and miniatures compatible with "T9A: Quick Starter" and with "T9A: Fantasy Battles". We also created simplified rules which can easily usher new players and young commanders into the world of T9A. More importantly, with the support of our backers, we can turn our videogame into the best platform for playing T9A online!
