Brassbound: Adamantine Dawn

BD Brickworks · 2024

Official website

Brassbound is the tabletop miniatures game you can play with the time you have and the building bricks you already own. In 1917, a science experiment gone wrong opened a rift to the frozen hellscape of Jotunheim. Nightmarish creatures known as the Jötunn ravaged the world and for years it seemed we were doomed for extinction. Until we made monsters of our own; Brassbounders, titanic war machines made from the carapaces of their fallen enemies. Humanity would eventually fight them off, but at a terrible cost. Our world was forever broken and humanity was split into rival factions. Brassbound: Adamantine Dawn takes place a generation later when tensions between those rivals reach a boiling point, following a second Jötunn invasion. A major focus is on accessibility; the Learn to Play scenario, Core Rulebook, and First Campaign are all free. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to order all the parts you need to make the models shown in the rulebook, and we also sell pre-made kits on our storefront. You can learn the game in about 15 minutes, and most skirmish matches complete in under 30 minutes. For people who want a longer experience, there are a pair of campaigns where you and a friend can spend an afternoon making tiny armies and blowing them to bricks. Creativity is core to the Brassbound Universe. Not only are you encouraged to make your own models, but the rulebook also includes a Unit Creator to bring your own creations to life. We have a thriving online community where people make their own models, stories and even create their own factions. With the support of our community, we have already released a second prequel game called Knights of the Air, and are working on a third follow-on game. Here are some things that make Brassbound unique: - All measurements in the game are based on the dimension of the basic plastic building brick. All distances are broken into simple range bands, making measuring a snap. - Line of Sight is simple, clean and unambiguous; if a line can be drawn between the center of the unit and the center of the target without hitting anything that would provide cover, then you have Line of Sight. - The stats are simple and clean, and there are no modifiers to add. Instead you simply add and remove dice from your pool. - Dice rolling is intentional. One roll to hit, one roll to wound. Combat resolution involves both players. - Tracking wounds is easy; a unit is at full readiness, wounded, or destroyed. That's it.
