After the King
A downloadable Tabletop Game
The Fall of the Unified Realms
The once peaceful kingdom is in shambles. The King's reign ended in chaos, leaving the realm in turmoil. As the capital collapses into darkness, ominous storms brew, signaling the end of days. With the King missing, ambitious lords vie for power, setting the stage for epic battles and unexpected alliances. Take command of an army to unite the realm or to help usher in the end of days.
What is this game?
After the King is a late medieval skirmish game set in a grim dark world. You will fight large scale battles with Commanders giving orders and troops moving in formations. Combat takes place at the skirmish level allowing every soldier on the battlefield the potential to become a hero. Battles should lean towards a more dramatic/narrative focus as seen in movies such as Lord of the Rings, Braveheart or Alexander. The goal of this ruleset is to give players an easy to play system that will allow them to have casual gamers to join in or allow them to reenact a wide variety of battle scenarios.
Being worked on:
- Rules formatting and balance
- Artwork
- Campaign system
I will continue to keep this page updated as the game evolves and I am actively seeking playtesters!

These are rules for a tabletop game. If you download the rules they should explain how to play. You just need some dice, miniatures and a tape measure to get started!
