War Stories WW2 RPG

A new RPG is on the way from Firelock Games that will put you and your party on the beach of Normandy.

If you ever wanted to live through the experiences of WW2 through ways other than miniatures games and video games, then this new RPG coming from Firelock Games may be something you want to keep an eye upon. Right now, I don’t know too much about the system, but below is what we have been told so far.

First though, let’s look at some sample art pieces.

A group of soldiers ponders how to take out a take and a group of enemy soldiers.

From Firelock Games…

War Stories is a roleplaying game using the Year Zero Engine that is set during the Second World War. All the background, rules, and scenario ideas needed to run a game centered around the harrowing exploits and extraordinary adventures of the 101st Airborne paratroopers (or alternatively, the British 6th Airborne) will be included.

Play as the valiant heroes who parachuted into Normandy during Operation Overlord in June of 1944. The campaign game will allow players to tell the tale of their intrepid soldier-characters (even non-airborne such as resistance fighters or tankers) as they collectively liberate France and drive onward toward victory.

Above all, players will be able to create moments of valor and courage, ultimately weaving their personal tales into the fabric of history, from D-Day and beyond. These will be their War Stories.
