VASSAL

VASSAL is a game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board games and card games. You can use Vassal to play in real time over the Internet or by email. Vassal runs on all platforms and is free, open-source software.

You’ll need Linux, MacOS, Windows and anything else you can run Java 11 (or later).

Modules provide the boards and counters, but no rules. You need those to be able to play.


Modules

There are two modules for Gloranthan board games:

  • Module:Nomad Gods. PDF rules available from Chaosium (below)
  • Module:Dragon Pass. No rules available, you will need your own.

Notes

The .mod files are actually zip files. Change .mod to .zip and you will be able to unarchive the file on to your computer. Inside you can view the counters, boards and tables and individual .png graphic files.

Sample Counters
