Ulisses North America will launch the licensed Warhammer 40,000 Roleplaying Game – Wrath & Glory on September 28.
The game was announced last summer (see “Ulisses Takes Up 'Warhammer 40,000' Role Playing Game”), with the events of the Dark Imperium in Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition providing the backbone for the War & Glory world. Players will be firsthand witnesses to the Great Rift and the chaos it brings to the known universe. The game system uses D6s to represent the player’s abilities, be they agents of the Imperium of Man or alien characters. There is a focus on brutal combat and fast action as players work their way through the 41st Millennium setting.
