The games come with supplement such as Beginner's Guides, Campaign Rules and AI Rules. Whilst most of the games were written with GW miniatures in mind, they can be used with pretty much any miniatures from different manufacturers. Of note is their own miniatures in the 2D and 3D variety, some available only to their patreon supporters while the rest are available for purchase on their own storefronts.

Interestingly, they created a whole [https://army-forge.onepagerules.com/ army-builder app] to simplify building armies as well as read up on the lore. Though it started out as just a distilled version of WFB and 40k respectively, they've been going through lengths in order to divorce itself somewhat from GW's thing. Some of this is more obvious through things like an entire faction of fantasy!Italians with clockwork robots or an army of sci-fi dog-men, though others are less so, such as the original lore's [[Emprah|God-King]] being shifted to a warlord and geneticist called the Founder who actually does die during a rebellion and has a clone-son who's being guarded by the not!Custodes or how there's a faction of Angels (independent of the not!Stormcast, whom hail from some doomed dimension and seek to prevent others from sharing their fate) who own their own kingdom that they rule in a militaristic fashion that unsettles some folks.

One Page 40k is a single-page ruleset to be played with [[Warhammer 40,000]] miniatures. As of v1.26 it features all 12 major factions and 6 mission objectives. The ruleset was designed to be fast to learn and easy to play, being ''literally'' one page long, and allows players to have entire matches in the time span of 45-60 minutes. It features alternating activations and tries to do away with rules that bog down the game, instead focusing on strategy and simple mechanics to provide a fun alternative to GW rules. (Although some argue that it simplifies things so much that it makes all armies virtually interchangeable- seriously, whose idea was it to make a bolter essentially identical in strength to a lasgun?)

One Page Kill Team is a single-page ruleset to be played with [[Warhammer 40,000]] miniatures. As of v0.12 it features all 12 major factions and 6 mission objectives. The ruleset is focused on stun and push mechanics, which allow you to boot enemy soldiers off of roofs or tackle them into deadly machinery. The game can be learned in 5 minutes and can be played in 20-30 minutes, being a good intro to the franchise for people who only have a handful of miniatures.

Grimdark Future Cover Art

"Wargaming made simple and fun!" - One Page Rules Motto

One Page Rules is the home of many "single-page" rulesets, most known for One Page 40k (later renamed to Grimdark Future) and One Page Fantasy (now named Age of Fantasy). The Blog features alternate rulesets to be played with Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle/Age of Sigmar miniatures, and they are written by OnePageAnon (since April 2014). The mission statement is to create rules that everyone can enjoy, and to "leave no man behind", by providing systems in which players can use any and all of their miniatures instead of having to leave them on a shelf because GW nerfed them to oblivion. Since 2017 the project is being funded via Patreon.

The Games[edit]

Age of Fantasy Cover Art

As of October 2020 there are 5 official games that have been released:

The games come with supplement such as Beginner's Guides, Campaign Rules and AI Rules. Whilst most of the games were written with GW miniatures in mind, they can be used with pretty much any miniatures from different manufacturers. Of note is their own miniatures in the 2D and 3D variety, some available only to their patreon supporters while the rest are available for purchase on their own storefronts.

Interestingly, they created a whole army-builder app to simplify building armies as well as read up on the lore. Though it started out as just a distilled version of WFB and 40k respectively, they've been going through lengths in order to divorce itself somewhat from GW's thing. Some of this is more obvious through things like an entire faction of fantasy!Italians with clockwork robots or an army of sci-fi dog-men, though others are less so, such as the original lore's God-King being shifted to a warlord and geneticist called the Founder who actually does die during a rebellion and has a clone-son who's being guarded by the not!Custodes or how there's a faction of Angels (independent of the not!Stormcast, whom hail from some doomed dimension and seek to prevent others from sharing their fate) who own their own kingdom that they rule in a militaristic fashion that unsettles some folks.

Here are the old rules.

Patreon[edit]

Since 2017 the project is being funded via Patreon. Players can get access to Full Rulebooks, Point Calculators and have Early Access to new updates for $5. Rumor has it that there's going to be a hard-cover release at some point, but don't hold your breath.
