The Guild of Blades Publishing Group publishes many table top and adventure games from role-playing games, to strategy wargames, board games, miniatures games, fleet combat games, dice games and more. Our Role-Playing Games ( RPGs ) currently include the Dark Realms Epic Adventure Game and the Heroes Forever Role Playing Game. The Dark Realms Epic Adventure Game was first published in 2008, but has older origins. The Dark Realms Epic Adventure Game was the union between two older RPG systems the Guild published. These were the Dark Realms Role Playing Universe and the W.H.A.T.? Customizable RPG, published in 1997 and 1998 respectively. The Dark Realms was designed as a multi-genre game system with character classes and level progression with a order vs chaos meta story meant to span a vast universe, allowing for both fantasy setting, sci-fi space opera settings and everything in between. The W.H.A.T.? Customizable RPG was a free form experience point progression RPG without character classes or levels, designed on a lark with the core game in print for just $2. Over the years, the W.H.A.T.? system proved the more popular and flexible system, while the Dark Realm had a story and several unique game characteristics people enjoyed and the decision was made to combine them and the Dark Realms Epic Adventure Game was born. The Heroes Forever RPG is a super hero game mash up with science fiction, cyberpunk tech, magic, immortals and more. Original pubblished in comic format in 2001. The game continue to expand with work on a 2nd edition in the works.

The Guild's most prolific line of games have been its Empires of History strategy board games. The entire concept began with The War to End All Wars, originally billed as a World War One varation of the game Axis and Allies. The Empires of History drew inspiration from the Axis and Allies game (just one game existing back then) with its territory style of maps, more siplified game rules (compared to most historical wargames) and fun dice rolling game mechanics. Over the years the Guild has published over 60 Empires of History games and expansions, include The War to End All Wars (WWI), TRhe Great War in Africa (WWI), Rise of the Red Army (WWI), Empires of History Full Global Conflict: WII (WWII), The Spanish Civil War, Kaiju The Giant Monster War Game, Stalingrad, The Arab Israeli Wars, The Battle for the Falklands, Rome's Greatest Foe: The 2nd Punic War, The African 30 Years War: Chad vs Libya: the Toyota War, The American Revolution, The Trojan War, Battle of Midway, Battle of the Coral Sea, Battle of Jutland, Bismark, The Barnary Coast War, the Nitrate War, Beyond Hadrian's Wall, Fallen Blackhawk (inspired by the Blackhawk down event), Ramesses' War: Egypt vs the Hittites, The Vietnam War, Battle of Thermopylae, Pantheons War of the Mythos and the medieval series 1483 which included Europe 1483 and Africa 1483 (original 1st editions also included Asia 1483 and 1492: The New World expansions as well). The Guild also ran 1483 Online, a massive multiple turn based game based on its 1483 Online series, with over 15,000 play testers before development challenges put the project on hold.

Other games and game lines published by the Guild were also Overlords Fantasy Battlescape Wargame, a new take on an old favorate called Titan. A 6 player game with a new edition in the works. Two Risk game variants were published. Risk Over the Trenches and Medieval Risk. A fantasy miniatures game named Grunt Fantasy Battles was the very first game published by the Guild back in 1996 and in the year since has gone through multiple revisions and improvements, now in a 3rd edition with a large decluxe box set in the planning for 4th edition. Grunt was a mash up of a simple tabletop miniatures game where you could use your own miniatures (or coins, pocket lint, etc if on a budget) for your figures, combined with a legacy game format sort of like an RPG where you built up your army over many play sessions and a kingdom building game. Designed for head to head or multiple player. Another tabletop style game was Button Wars, with first edition published as a clollectible game. Button Wars was an easy to play spaceship combat game with colorful metal disk for spaceship miniatures. A new, more expansive edition of Button Wars in being designed presently. The World of Heroes and Tyrants fantasy board game was published, with inspiration and some play styles drawn from the Talisman board game series. Mythic Chess was an chess variant of a sorts, with game pieces based on Greek Mythologies gods and heroes. Dice Armies was another tabletop game with rules to ue your piles of dice as your miniature pieces, more recently published with a box set and cleaned up rules for mass tabletop battle with your dice, but also a 2nd alternate game included which is a 2 playet head to head strategy game, reminiscent of chess in style, with each dice type from D4 through D20 having its own set of attributes. The new Dice Armies box set now includes two entire 7 Dice sets of polyhedral game dice with it.

The Guild has a lot of pokers in the fire with a lot of new games in the works and major updates to older games published back in the days of yore. Please explore our game pages and follow us on facebook to see what is coming down the pike. And if you read this entire long text down on the bottom of our main page, we're sorry, this was all intended to be on individual game pages, but for some odd reason some of that isn't getting propery crawled and has become hard for our fans to find.
