Renegade Game Studios have announced they’ll be teaming with WizKids to create a 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons setting based on the Wardlings miniatures line. Details are rather slim but stay tuned as more info becomes available before a Fall release.
From Renegade:
Renegade Game Studios, a premier board and role-playing game publisher, and WizKids, a leading pre-painted miniatures publisher, are thrilled to announce the upcoming Wardlings campaign setting. Designed by industry veteran Elisa Teague, this 5th Edition compatible book will give players a chance to create and explore stories centered around the miniatures from WizKids’ Wardlings product line. Players will embark on enchanted adventures along with their favorite magical animal companions.
Step into a world of wonder and magic, sparked by the innocence of humanity’s most important heroes: the children.
Wardlings brings an enchanting new campaign setting to life, where the minds of the youth, uncorrupted by the vices and responsibilities of their elders, are able to perceive magical creatures and events in the world around them that adults cannot. Here, children are the saviors of the land who embark on epic quests to protect their realm, and holding on to the virtues of youth has never been more imperative!
“The Wardlings figures are so unique and detailed that we really wanted to help players tell their stories,” explains Scott Gaeta, president of Renegade Game Studios. “We’re so happy to be partnering with WizKids to bring them to life.”
“We couldn’t be happier to rely on our friends at Renegade games to bring this universe to life in an RPG setting. The world and its inhabitants are in great hands and we are excited to see what grows with our partnership,” says Bryan Kinsella, COO of WizKids. “Look for more exciting miniatures to release in the coming year in parallel with their work.”
The Wardlings RPG setting will be available at Friendly Local Game Stores this fall.
