Participation Games @ ShireCon 2024
One Page Rules
Are you looking at getting into tabletop wargaming but don’t know where to start? Or are you a seasoned grognard looking for another challenge or maybe even to reuse those models sitting on your shelf collecting dusk?
Come check out OPR (onepagerules) at ShireCon where we will walk you through what’s required, the rules and even demo a game.
OPR is the home of a number of tabletop wargaming rulesets designed to be fast to learn and easy to play. Games range from small skirmish games through to grand battles of armies or fleets in space. The rules are simple, free and all games are miniature agnostic, designed to be played with any miniatures you have on hand. At ShireCon we will be showcasing the OPR skirmish games which are small, fast paced battles in either a science fiction (Grimdark Future FireFight) or fantasy (Age of Fantasy Skirmish).
No need to bring anything. We will have some miniatures, dice and terrain on hand to use for any demo games.

Come see all the Pomp and Glory of the Late 15thC Italian Wars as

Spear Variant Ruleset.

Blood on the Sands – Saturday 20th
Blood on the Sands is a historically inspired skirmish game designed to allow players to engage in exciting one on one gladiatorial combats with miniatures. The game has been in development for some time and has featured at MOAB and ShireCon in years past. Dare to step into the arena? There is no need to sign up, just come over to the table and ask for a game. Will you emerge victorious, or will your blood stain the sands?
