Olde World Miniatures was founded in early 2013 by two friends with the goal of producing high quality fantasy miniatures for war-gamers and hobbyists alike. We each have over 15 years of experience in the hobby and are both passionate war-gamers and hobbyists.
The primary goal of Olde World Miniatures is to bring to life a few table-top game ideas we have had for awhile now. Our first game, called Carpathia, we hope to release sometime in late 2014. Carpathia will be a skirmish table-top game with RPG elements. We hope to follow Carpathia up with Age of Steel which will be a mass combat game. We have also been developing a unique fantasy world with steam punk elements in which these games will be based.
Our secondary goal is to produce miniatures of the highest quality, not only for war-gamers but also for collectors and painters. As painters we appreciate excellent quality in miniatures and are making it a point early on to make sure that our quality is on-par with what we ourselves would gladly purchase and paint.
Carpathia is a table-top skirmish roleplaying game set in a rich fantasy world with steam-punk elements currently in development by Olde World Miniatures. Players will take control of groups of adventuring heroes fighting against rival groups or monstrous creatures ranging from the undead, to demons, or even crazed groups of heretics and the possessed.
The game will be based on a points system. Before each game the participating players will decide what the game point limit should be. From there the players will be able to build their groups of adventurers each hero costing a set amount of points. There will also be countless customization options available for the heroes including weapons, armor, spells, artifacts, and many other items. There will be a total of 11 different available factions in the game with a large amount of heroes to choose from for each faction. Each hero will have his, her or its’ own unique abilities and play styles. This will allow for endless group builds and possibilities that suit the players’ preference. We plan on introducing various game modes ranging from group vs group combat, objective based games, and a more traditional RPG player vs environment mode. We also hope to make the game as engaging and entertaining as possible by introducing a unique game mechanics. The basic game mechanics will be very similar to many war games that are on the market today. Played on a table top complemented with scenery of the players choosing, the games will be played on a turn basis with various phases of game play taking place in each turn. Each hero will have specific attributes, statistics and unique abilities.
With this KickStarter we hope to raise enough to jump start production on our miniatures as well as help support the development of our games.
