What is included in the starter set?
The set includes a 48-page adventure book ('Traitor's Hymn'), a guidebook to the Varonius Flotilla, five pre-generated gatefold character sheets, three double-sided rules reference sheets, and tokens for tracking Wrath, Glory, and Ruin.
Is this suitable for complete beginners to roleplaying games?
Yes, the set is designed as an introduction. The included adventure is structured to teach the rules through play, and the pre-generated characters allow you to start immediately without complex character creation.
How many players can use this set?
The set includes materials for a group of players, typically one Gamemaster and up to four other players using the five provided character sheets, though the system can accommodate more with additional preparation.
What is the setting for the included adventure?
The adventure is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, specifically aboard the Varonius Flotilla, a fleet of ships trapped in the Gilead System.
Are dice required to play?
Yes, the Wrath & Glory RPG uses polyhedral dice (d6s are common). The starter set does not include dice, so you will need to provide your own set.
Can the materials be used for ongoing campaigns after the initial adventure?
Yes. The guide to the Varonius Flotilla is packed with locations, characters, and plot hooks specifically designed to help a Gamemaster continue the campaign beyond the starter adventure.
What age group is this game appropriate for?
Warhammer 40,000 themes are typically geared towards teenagers and adults due to its dark, violent, and complex setting. The publisher's recommended age is not specified, but it is generally considered for ages 14 and above.
