Description

Welcome to the edge of civilization, where brigands rule and where the shadows are long. In tiny villages, people huddle in fear as terrors prowl the night. Out here, your word is as good as your sword and nobody will miss you.

Five Leagues From the Borderlands is a set of solo miniatures rules for fantasy campaign games. Taking inspiration from gritty "medieval-fantasy" like The Black Company and Harn, this is a world of brutal combat and ever-present danger.

The new version has been polished and improved, tidying up the rules, getting rid of excessive dice rolling and improving the pacing of the campaign game. In addition we’ve added:

Difficulty settings for players who want more or less challenge.
An Unusual background table for your characters.
Monsters from ogres to dragons. And a random monster generator.
Village events.
Encounters are far more varied: Enemy strengths and flaws, leadership figures, unusual battle conditions (from fighting in the rain to haunted terrain) and each type of Threat now has its own unique encounter table.
Many enemies also have special rules now, to make them more unique.
Multiple options for tailoring a long term campaign, such as “new game plus” options and large-scale campaign events such as holy crusades, rat-men invasions or the literal end of days!
New items to find, including magical weapons, potions and scrolls.
And much MUCH more.
