Red Scar & Mantic Games Teaming Up For Kings Of War RPG
January 2, 2019 by brennon
The world of Mantica is constantly expanding as Mantic Games add new games and ideas into the mix for Kings Of War. One such new idea which is starting to become a reality is the Kings Of War RPG which is being created in conjunction with Red Scar Publishing.
The teams are working to bring a role-playing game to the tabletop which allows you to not only experience the world of Mantica as one of its many heroes but also then integrate this into the other games within their collection.
They are hoping to build a level of cross-compatibility into the system which allows you to not only play through stories as your characters but also then go dungeon delving in Dungeon Saga or perhaps take to the battlefield in Kings Of War, fighting alongside massive armies.
The world of Mantica is also massive as shown by this image here...
The coloured section is what has currently been explored in Kings Of War but as you can see the world stretches far behind those horizons. Perfect fodder for storytellers and adventurers alike.
A release for the game is still a fair way off and the team are testing out their TriCore System, working on new artwork and more. However, the prospect of a cross-compatible game and exploring the potential for the world of Mantica is a very interesting one!
Are you going to be keeping your eye on this?

Even if it’s not crosscompatible with Dungeon Saga, the DS range is going to be a useful resource for the RPG, providing tons of tiles to build dungeons from and enemies to populate them.
That said, considering DS is already a ‘light’ RPG, the easiest route might be to build on it to expand it into a full RPG; would be a great way of introducing people to RPGs – DS is the entry point breaking them in gently, with the full RPG being the next step. 😉
exciting times ahead, and I know @warzan will be happy that the name Mantica is being retired, I assume the RPG will give us a new name. Also there are several new novels commissioned for this year for Kings of War to expand upon the background. All this off the back of the incredibly successful launch of Vanguard, we live in interesting times indeed.
The Mantica name always reminded me of one of the planets in the old Flash Gordon series
I quite liked it, but I know Warren isn’t a fan. ^^
Hopefully, the system uses something more than only d6’s.
Not sure of the system the 2d20 future system by mophidius has been licensed by red scar. But that’s no indication that it will use that
I love Kings of War (its my primary game currently) and I hope they expand the lore into new and interesting places. As the lore stands, everything tastes like cardboard.
Mate give Vanguard a go … little ripper of a game
This should start to rectify that. They’ve also announced a series of novels to follow on from last year’s short storyou anthology. The future’s bright, the future’s Mantic
Keen to check this out
As Frobo would say ,we’re going on an adventure, and this is sounding like a good one.
