Campaign Overview

The Agemonia campaign consists of around 25 to 30 scenarios in the rich and ever changing world of Agemonia.

As you play the campaign your Heroes will gain levels, providing them with new actions and new abilities, make friends (or enemies) of the various powerful factions within the game, and encounter various challenges to overcome.

You play the Agemonia Campaign by repeating the 3 campaign steps: the City step, the Journey step, and the Scenario step.

City step

During the City step your Heroes visit the various locations around the city of Runedale, buying and selling goods and equipment, using the various services that are available, and finding new scenarios to play.

During most City steps a City Event card is revealed, providing your Heroes with an unexpected incident to resolve.

Additionally, each Hero has City Activity points they may spend during the City step. Maybe they will get a job, learn a profession, or spend some time advancing their personal storyline.

Journey step

Of course Heroes are only Heroes because they go on adventures. During the Journey step your Heroes will travel to their next chosen scenario, possibly revealing one or more World Event cards or encountering special locations to investigate.

Scenario step

Once they have reached the location of their chosen scenario, you will play that scenario.

Scenario Overview

Each scenario is played over several rounds.

At the start of each round you choose the action your Hero will perform on their turn. Each action has an initiative color associated with it which determines when your Hero’s turn will occur according to the Initiative card for that round. Red initiatives tend to occur earlier in the round while green initiatives tend to occur latest in the round. Blue initiatives tend to be somewhere in the middle.

On their turn your Hero performs the chosen action and one maneuver. The maneuver will usually be either a move maneuver, allowing your Hero to move around the Scenario map, or a recover maneuver, allowing your Hero to restore some of their spent stamina or heal some of their damage.

Actions vary greatly and are specific to each Hero. Some are attacks, allowing you to fight Enemies, others allow you to move further, focus on specific tasks, or provide some magical effect.

As your Heroes explore the Scenario map, story points are triggered, revealing more information about your surroundings. They may provide useful equipment or treasure, spawn new enemies onto the map, or give your Hero an opportunity to test one of their abilities: Might, Agility or Will, by rolling dice and spending stamina.

You spend stamina in the form of Stamina chips, but these are also spent and flipped to their damage side when your Hero takes damage, reducing the amount of stamina available for you to use.

The scenarios are all very different from each other and each has it’s own challenges, and its own methods for determining whether your Heroes have succeeded or failed. Some scenarios have multiple success and failure outcomes. Failure is handled using a Fail Forward system, meaning that even failing a scenario will move your campaign forwards.
