A game setting worth getting into is the classic Warhammer fantasy, “The End Times.”. This game takes place in a dark fantasy world filled with nations and armies and cultures trying to stay alive from the invading demonic armies of dark Gods.
The world has a dark whimsy to it from humorous stories and characters, from mischievous hobbits, dwarf filled taverns, gambling, to magic creatures and a job system where one can be everything from a mage to a knight to a bar owner to a witch hunter.
The world is also filled with armies and kingdoms of humans to elves, lizardmen battling demonic invasions from the far north of the old world. The game has many armies, mechanics with units of infantry to war beast such as dragons, giants to hydras and orcs to demonic beast men.
The world is very grim, dark and is placed in a setting very much like the real-world dark ages with elements of Tolken’s “Lord of The Rings,” but in a world where evil can and will win. The world has massive amounts of lore and world building, due to role playing and a massive library of novels and stories taking place in this world. The two main forms of the game are tabletop role playing game and tabletop war game. This world is very immersive and is filled with many different formats of media to experience it.
