CATAPHRACT Ruleset

CATAPHRACT Sam Sorensen, March 2025. Updated to v1.1 July 2025. Medieval-fantasy roleplaying wargame ruleset, set around the not-quite-Bla

I'd like to run a game of this. And I'd like *you* to play! Specifically, I'd like 5-7 people to sign up as primary commanders, and 10-30 people to sign up as secondary commanders.

The time commitment will be a few hours per week for a few months. Primary commanders will be expected to be available for the full duration; secondary commanders will be put in a queue and asked to join as needed.

If you're interested, leave a comment on this post and I'll get you into a Discord server for planning.

My son sent me this. I understand the Crassus joke but don’t get the Minecraft joke. My boy gets the Minecraft joke but can’t remember who Marcus Crassus is…..

Is it problematic to engage an army in battle when there's a big morale gap between the two forces?

*Checks whether my morale makes me oppressed or oppressor* Actually, yes! It's extremely problematic to attack me when I'm literally neurodivergent (sad) and a minor (game has been running for less than 18 years).
