The fluff of Age of Fantasy is pretty simple: the chaos gods used to butt-fuck everyone on [[Old World|tyria]] until one day a human king brought all races together and trapped them in a magical orb. Everyone lived in peace for a while until the king died. Then his two asshole sons decided to fight for the throne and broke the orb, creating a massive rift across the world. Daemons poured out from the rift and now everyone is fucked again. | The fluff of Age of Fantasy is pretty simple: the chaos gods used to butt-fuck everyone on [[Old World|tyria]] until one day a human king brought all races together and trapped them in a magical orb.

"As long as GW keeps making fantasy miniatures we will make cool games for them" - onepageanon
Age of Fantasy is a single-page ruleset made for 28mm miniatures, namely Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Legend says that a long time ago the people at One Page Rules used to make a game called 1pFB, but once they got scared of getting the C&D hammer they re-named everything and now we are here. They also launched a patreon page to make some money, so probably that's why they changed the names in the first place.
The fluff of Age of Fantasy is pretty simple: the chaos gods used to butt-fuck everyone on tyria until one day a human king brought all races together and trapped them in a magical orb. Everyone lived in peace for a while until the king died. Then his two asshole sons decided to fight for the throne and broke the orb, creating a massive rift across the world. Daemons poured out from the rift and now everyone is fucked again.
