    This document provides instructions for playing a cooperative role-playing game called Hold Fast! that uses card mechanics and adventure books to automate the role of the Dungeon Master. Players choose a hero from character sheets that detail their skills and equipment. When exploring dungeons or battling enemies, cards are used to randomly generate environments and opponents. The game draws inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons but aims to be different through its DM-free and card-driven systems.

    Wargame rules for fighting the great battles of the
    English Civil War using hexes
    "Colonell Sands beinge in the front, the Prince asked him whom he was for; he answered, 'For Kinge and
    Parliament.' He replyed, 'Not for the Kinge alone? ' He answered, ' No.' Then said the Prince, ' For the King
    have at you.' The Colonell answered, ' For the Parliament have at you.' And so they discharged each at other. The
    rest followed them and presently those in ambush fired upon them as also the musqetteers behind the hedges, the
    horsemen charged not the second time but immediatly fell to their swords so that for the space of almost an hower
    the skermish was excedinge hot"

    This game owes a lot to D&D, the rpg and the

    those systems too. Lets just hope we have some
