OnePageRules

Lisbon-based studio behind free, fast wargames like Grimdark Future and Age of Fantasy, paid for by a Patreon, miniature sales, and optional rulebooks.

OnePageRules (OPR Games, based in Lisbon) makes free wargames that are quick to learn. Its games are created by Gaetano Ferrara and come in two settings. Grimdark Future is the sci-fi one, with Firefight, Star Quest, and Warfleets. Age of Fantasy is the fantasy one, with Skirmish, Regiments, and Quest.

The core rules and the free Army Forge list builder cost nothing. OPR makes its money elsewhere: a Patreon from $5 a month, paid advanced rulebooks and expansions on DriveThruRPG, and miniatures. OPR says it has designed over 1,000 sci-fi and fantasy miniatures since 2020, sold as STLs on Patreon and MyMiniFactory, pre-printed on Etsy, as some plastic kits, or as paper minis. The games themselves work with any miniatures.
