About the game
A depiction of the wars of Greyhawk, designed from the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying system world-setting as a stand-alone war game. Players are on the 'good' or 'evil' sides and command armies of various creatures in a battle for control of territory. As an added twist, characters can be 'heroes' that search out magical items and fight monsters to obtain the items in side-adventures. Comes with a 'historical' booklet describing the wars for the role-playing crowd.
