The Game of Kings Game Engine

Updated July 2024. Repurchase for Free and download for updates. This book is your introduction into The Game of Kings Game Engine available for you to use to create your own Miniature Tabletop Role Playing Game and/or Wargame setting using rules from proven game mechanics since 1911. This document details game mechanics compiled from rules from previous game engines, available for use in Tabletop Role Playing Games and Tabletop Historical & Fantasy Miniature Games. These rules are derived from the works of game designers since before H.G. Wells, which are not subject to copyright – without using any of the copyrighted (copy protected) artistic representation or flavor text originally used to convey the rules. Many of these game mechanics and monikers are familiar to those playing Historical and Fantasy Role Playing Games found on the market today – for good reason. They originate from Wargames used in Military War Colleges and developed by writers over the centuries, including H.G. Wells – the writer of ‘War of the Worlds’. This Game Engine is intended to assist you in creating a Tabletop Role Playing Game and/or Wargame of your own for personal or commercial reasons. This document ensures players and publishers have a reference to the rules set forth without fear of infringement of protected flavor text, artistic representation, or trademark. This Game Engine is a living book that will be updated to ensure stability in ruleset and also to ensure no intellectual property or copyright infringement occurs to published game worlds created by companies today that are protected under copyright and trademark law: original game lore, flavor text, and artistic representation. These rules and the text are dedicated to the public domain with the goal that they will be developed into a final Open Source document, permitted by law, and freely available for commercial and fan use – by any and all – much like the rules of Chess and Go. We lead this movement of creating paths and removing obstacles to the players and third-party publishers who are given inspiration so they may continue Tabletop Role Playing and Wargames into the future. We work and hope this Game Engine will forever be open and available to the populace. To those who work reform that lasts: we both pray your efforts are given success.
