WAR
Will do more wars tables. Had some thoughts of a narrative wargame system for roleplaying games where players can act as heroes for a front line view of battle.
More War table sets
Amazon War - The Amazon citadel declares war against the Templars and lizards
Cythron Horde Invasion - innovated barbarians with horse archers and chariots
Wasteland Warrior invasion - anti wizard and against arts of civilization
Witch Wars - secret supernatural anarchy unleashed
Fishmen Wars - evil sea peoples and secret cultists and sea demons
There is a amazon metropolis central to my normal game area. Its a alliance of free cities allied against many enemies but evil is spiting the alliance. The other cities struggle with fish and lizard cults. I guess a fishman wars and snake man wars tables would be cool.
Necromancer and dragon war tables ive done but one for more religious dragon templars and death templars might work. These cults and lands invade by force and by building dungeons as secret bases. Dragon cults serve mostly sleeping dragons and conquer on behalf of the sleeping great beasts they worship. Amazon Wars, Death cults are classic warmongering black clad evil cult often serving a demon or underworld god. Barbarian invasion tables would be good too. Wasteland warrior primitives are anti wizard and hate civilization and the more advanced Cythron type ones flirt with technology and even innovate. They may become a great power.
Their are Cythron barbarians with clever technology like horse riding and chariots. There is even a amazon tribe of Cythron. Unlike most great waste barbarians who are advanced stone age, Cythron are technical innovative with horse archers and chariots and waggon trains. They have weapons and arms akin to civilization and will fight for a fee. Their women are witches according to outsiders. They trade with free peoples and war against monster kingdoms. They are allies and increasingly overlapping with Free Cities League and wage war against bad nations including two human empires in the far east. Many wear masks. They have ingratiated themselves into cities and serve as mercenaries and settle with herds near cities in return for military service. Some fear Sythron might seize cities one day or build their own.
Some of these factions sound like elder horror or cult infiltration
Which ones and how much up to you
