Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Lore of Summoners

(The name of the world Summoners is based in has not been written yet, however names of locations, cities and kingdoms will be added to section as they are finalized.)

Summoners is a game of powerful heroes whom where born with the power to be awakened as Summoners. A Summoner holds the most power magic in the land, the ability to bring creatures, warriors and minions into existence. These powerful beings are spread throughout the land and fight for different reasons, some for king and country, some for fame and power, some for destruction and death, and some just for the fun of it.

Because of a Summoner's ability to call an army to themselves almost instantly, a fight between two of these powerful casters can happen anywhere, a dense forest, a deep dungeon, anywhere 2 Summoners clash becomes an instant battlefield. And because any summoned creature or warrior simply vanishes when they are defeated, there are rarely any bodies left on the field of battle, unless one of the Summoners is killed.

The world of Summoners is a dangerous and ancient land of sword and spell, magic and might, where kingdoms rise and fall, wars are common, and ancient treasures are hidden everywhere.

The Outlands

(All current names are just temporary until names and titles are worked out for each Summoner.)

#1 Talia Blightman, Urban Witch X (There is a Bones figure for this model, it is just not on the online store yet)

Talia was a street-rat, left in an orphanage at a very young age. She had always known that she had a very strong potential for magic, she practiced minor illusions and the art of pickpocketing. Talia was discovered stealing from a gypsy caravan and kidnapped, her talents where quickly discovered and she trained with the caravan's witch while traveling from city to city. Talia's talents include mind tricks and Illusion magic. Shes still travels, searching for thrills, and a purpose, a cause she can believe in. Until the day she finds cause, she sells her talents to anyone who will hire her, however she does not reveal the fact that she is a Summoner unless necessary, she rather not people seek her out for her power so she can choose her contracts.

(Epic spell)

Phantom Shift = You may free move all units you control 3 squares, these movements do not provoke attacks of opportunity

#2 Duke Ivan Van Rajeek X

The Rajeek family have been in control of most of the slave trade in the realm for as long as history has recorded. Ivan has been the Duke of Misty Castle for at least 50 years, born as a vampire, Ivan had been prepped for his role since birth, however he finds being a duke rather boring, so instead, he plunges himself into the chaos of war and Summoner battles, claiming territory for feeding, and taking slaves. Ivan is a skilled combatant, and has mind effecting magic.

#3 Greyfol The Wise X

Greyfol wonders the waist-lands and kingdoms, collecting knowledge and artifacts, always seeming to be where he is most needed at the right time, or being present when a new artifact has been discovered, no one knows how old Greyfol is, it is whispered that he may have found someway to preserve his own life, for there are records of his exploits going back at least 200 years. Greyfol's biggest regret, are largest failure was his student, Nethim. Nethim desired nothing but power, and Greyfol was blinded by wanting to pass the knowledge of the arcane arts on to a younger generation. Nethim used his powers recklessly, and attack a village because he had found ancient knowledge about a powerful artifact, and Greyfol has been attempting to stop him ever since.

Stat Block

Stats are rather standard, I don't think anyone with much tabletop experience will be confused by these.



Spd(Speed)-The number of 1' squares this unit can move during a movement action Examples 5 or 7

Rng(Range)- The number of squares away this unit can hit with its attack. Examples M for Melee or 6

Atc(Attack)- Dice type and bonus to hit Examples d8+5 or 2d6+4

Dam(Damage)- The amount of dame an attack from this unit will deal Examples 2 or 1d4+1

Mag(Magic)- The magical level of unit Examples 5 or 3

Def(Defense)- The number you need to roll to hit this unit Examples 9 or 12

Hp(Hit Points)-The amount of Hit points the unit has, most small units have 1 hp, but others have more. Example 1 or 7



To make an attack, make sure your target is in range, then roll an Atk stat roll, then compare the number you get to your target's Def stat, if you got it, or higher, you hit and deal damage to that unit based on your damage stat. If that unit's Hp drops to 0 or less, that unit is defeated and fades out of existence, Unless that unit was your opponents Summoner, if it is you win the game. After the attack, put an action token on your unit,

I will post updates as I do them, this is a running project and may take some time to complete. Nothing is final, stats will be changed for balance as more models are stated and playtesting starts up. If anyone is interested in playtesting, please let me know!

I thought about that, to adapt to larger games, I was thinking of something like adding a movement action and a attack action for every x amount of points in your totals, but I haven't worked out the costs for anything yet

Square grid, so far it plays a lot like a cross between warmachine and heroclix. Starting this Monday when I have time I will be adding a lot of stats and doing some playtesting (hopefully next week.)
