Want to be a Hero of the Iron Kingdoms?
February 4, 2012 by brennon
The folks over at Privateer Press have certainly been busy and are set to launch something new this Summer. The Iron Kingdoms Role Playing Game will be putting you in the boots of a denizen of that steam driven and metal land.
Where before you were taking on the role of a hero in the middle of battle, Iron Kingdoms will have you trawling the cities and wilderness of the realm. As the video above says, they will be exploring areas of the Iron Kingdoms yet to be fully developed and really bringing the place to life.
Of course with a role playing game from a miniatures company, your going to need miniatures...
These are obviously just a taster of what is on offer from the guys at Privateer Press. I always have a soft spot for a role playing game with miniatures involved. Maybe this could be both a good introduction to the world of Warmachine and Hordes as well as an expansion for previous fans of the game?
Will you be rolling up a hero for the Iron Kingdoms?
That was very intresting.
There were some really great minis in the original IKRPG line and I’m looking forward to seeing what minis they release to coincide with the new RPG game. Hopefully some labour jacks and dudes in steam armour!
Changes are coming to the IKRPG then. I never played the old one but I heard it used the D20 system…now it’s using 2D6. Should certainly make it easier for current Warmahordes players to get into it, which will give it a big core base to grow from. Interesting stuff.
nice to see rpg details emerging
Also glad they ditched d20 as it was a bad idea to tie themselves to another company and the limitations of the game engine vs the fluff. The bad is how many books for info on all factions etc?? One to keep on radar
I’ve played in and run several games of the old d20 system IKRPG. I love the setting, but the d20 rules had a lot of flaws. The IKRPG community was forced to create a FAQ for the broken or missing rules while waiting for PP to come out with something official (still don’t know if they ever came out with an official FAQ). I’ve been waiting for this new IKRPG for some time, hoping they will give it the love and attention it truly deserves.
I do think that this could finally be the push I need to jump into RPG’s. Looks awesome!
Oh I’m sooooooo buying this!!!
