Corvus Cluster Narratives

Tournament games are great. But there’s nothing like a good narrative battle—a swashbuckling,
movie-like adventure with heroes, villains, and an objective that involves more than gathering
victory points.
So, if you are looking for something different to do—or you’ve free time between events—then
the Corvus Cluster narrative games are for you.

Each two-to-three-hour battle is like a story out of a book or movie, and you play the hero in a stand-alone, swashbuckling adventure.
Yet, there’s more to it: Each battle is designed to challenge your tactical abilities.
There are no Stratagems or gamey rules to help you win the fight. You must rely on basic military concepts: concentration of fire, maneuver, terrain, and morale.
You don’t need to bring figures, dice, or rules. Everything is provided.
You don’t need to worry about rules. If you’ve played any Games Workshop game, you’ll master our simplified rules by the end of the first turn. And you’ll have a GM to get you up to speed.
The results of each battle will influence the fate of various worlds in the Corvus Cluster’s nine- year-old narrative campaign. Also, each battle will be enshrined as a “historical event” on the Corvus Cluster website: www.thecorvuscluster.com

So, if you find yourself with some free time at the convention—or you’re looking for something
new and unique to do—the Corvus Cluster is here for you.

In the Second Age, before the War of the Last Alliance, the rule of Gondor stretched south to
Far Harad, a mysterious land of savannah and jungle. An ancient tomb has been discovered at
the edge of the jungle, and a Númenórean captain is tasked with investigating this discovery.
What he finds are Haradrim treasure hunters and something far more horrifying. Rules are
what I consider the most polished and elegant of the GW game systems: the LOTR Return of the
King rulebook.
