decides on hills for his Team Yankee project.
Few creatures in the solar system are more stubborn than wargame designers. When something goes wrong, get up, shake off the dust, raise the flag, rally your friends, and try again! Assault Publishing was closed two months ago, but I decided to continue designing rules non-commercially. Out of the company's ashes comes the Assault Publishing Studio, which will support my games and release new projects as free or inexpensive PDFs. But this time I'm not alone! I decided that the studio will be a creative environment allowing its members to develop their own projects with each other's support, a shared website, and similar helpful aids. I'm very glad that Iain "Cybershadow" Werry (wargame designer and living legend of Epic 40K and BFG) and Maciej "Xardas" Drążkiewicz (first designer and co-author of one of the Polish rulesets) joined this initiative. We will happily welcome new studio members, and cooperate with friendly companies to jointly create cool projects.
Assault Publishing Studio is financed through patronage. The collected money will be spent on the website server, marketing, expenses connected to rules development (illustrations, proof-reading) and – if the enterprise flourishes – convention stands or demo games! Sponsoring members will get some humble privileges (e.g. access to beta versions) or exclusive content as 'thank you' gifts, but I don't want to turn the studio into a business.
I do not like to be vain, so to kick off Assault Publishing Studio we release Glorious Lands – a classic fantasy ruleset designed for 15 to 32mm miniatures and based on heavily modified Heroic Ballads rules. Feel free to download the rulebook and enjoy the game!
