In the game, players have been tasked as members of the Free League, a militia of sorts whose job it is to protect the city and its people... often from themselves. Xenon_Wulf has written 1 reviews, with average style of 5.00 and average substance of 3.00. This thing is a gorgeous object, maybe slightly over designed on every page, but it works, so I’m not going to knock it. Cadwallon is a city founded by a mercenary company, and has always been free from the politics of the nations surrounding it, nations which have been slowly entering a massive war, the Rag'narok. It reminds me of a combination of Jeff Vandermeer’s Ambergris and China Mieville’s New Crobuzon in terms of both background and fantastical weirdness, even though Cadwallon opts for the usual fantasy races it does manage to lend them their own, weird spin, which makes them a lot more interesting than elves and dwarves normally are. Oh, my, I’m drooling. The whole city is ruled by the Duke. Many of the tiles also can be combined to form even larger maps for bigger battles or more complex areas to explore.

A beautiful and brutal setting with lots of compelling bits that sometimes suffers from wordy translations.
Taking the previous example of the character trying to hit someone with an axe.
It is, on the other hand, very thourough, as there are rules on what characters can percieve, movement, obstacles, patrols and reserves.
The city is divided in two parts; the upper city and the lower city, which are further divided into eleven fiefdoms, each with its own peer. I mean, you can just about muddle through the city background and the establishment of the factions and free companies but when it comes down to explaining anything technical you’re jiggered. Those familiar with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay will see more similarities here though it is simplified (in execution if not in explanation). If your total is greater than or equal to the difficulty of the test, you have succeeded. If you are planning to play Cadwallon, or any miniatures game, the gaming tiles are a great investment and one I would happily recommend. The game is set in Cadwallon, the Free City. Cadwallon is a role-playing game (RPG) published by Rackham in book form in 2006. He’s soooo dreamy!’ would be my cry, his posters would be on my wall and I would be writing ‘Tonya ? Cadwallon is the name of the large city in which the role-playing game is set. Finally, a character can have one or more distinctive features or feats, which give him special advantages.
Characters do not have stats, but "attitudes" (PUGnacity, STYle, SLEight, OPPortunism, DIScipline SUBtlety), which are all at "2" at the beginning of chargen, but increase according to race and culture. The setting also could be adapted to other game systems if desired, though I would recommend you check out the games use of Attitudes, which I found to be a lot of fun. The greatest similarity to a preceding product would probably be to Warhammer Quest or Advanced Heroquest, only with a much more open and interesting game world and slightly more deep rules.
It is a neat twist on the traditional strength, dexterity, intelligence and charisma attributes most games favor. You roll a number of dice equal to your skill grade, keep the highest and add your attribute bonus. Characters also take on different professions, which give them different skill sets and in some cases access to spells or spell-like abilities.
