	Chainmail (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chainmail is a medieval miniatures wargame created by Jeff Perren and Gary Gygax.
		The man-to-man melee used two six-sided dice (2d6) to determine whether a kill is made and took account of the attacker's weapon and the defender's armor.
		Part of the reason for the change was the relative lack of success of the Chainmail game, based on traditional metal miniature figures, compared to the competing Mage Knight game, which featured pre-painted plastic figures.

	: RevolutionSF - Dungeons and Dragons: Chainmail : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Chainmail is a miniatures combat game for Dungeons and Dragons, not quite a supplement and not quite a spin-off game: with all the DandD references it can't quite stand alone as a game, but the rules have been changed too comprehensively for DandD players to pick it up without a little study.
		Chainmail is based on the rules of Dungeons and Dragons Third Edition, streamlined to allow simpler, quicker battles by dropping many of the intricacies and details of the game in favor of speed.
		Chainmail includes a setting and background story only nominally related to the standard Greyhawk environment of DandD3, and which will be featured in the official Chainmail game league, but the setting is easily disposible if players are more interested in their own games.

		Chainmail was the first miniatures game I ever tried, and I immediately got hooked.
		Chainmail is a fast paced game with a lot of strategic elements.
		Rumor has it that Chainmail is on it's way out, that they are going to release all the product they have to clear it out, and once it's done, that's it.

	Fantasy Role-Playing Games
		Role-playing games are "fiction in action." Each player develops one or more fictitious characters as his "playing pieces." The game involves the activities, interactions and experiences of these fictitious folks.
		The result is a game which is not as cut-and-dried as classic games.
		The standard process used by most games is to allow a certain number of points to be allotted to a character's attributes.

		The game first appeared at the 1973 EasterCon, had a limited availability throughout 1973, and the first print run of 1,000 copies was officially released (in a white box) in January of 1974.
		When the game started getting somewhat popular after the first year or so, they decided to publish some of the details of their campaigns along with some expansion rules for the game.
		It was decided that a new edition of the game should be released, but instead of calling it a second edition and discontinuing the first, TSR launched Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

		The game was reintroduced to the world with a new, third edition that made the game easier to play, easier to understand, and more flexible then previous editions.
		Like many miniatures games, skirmish is played by building a “warband” of several creatures or characters (represented by minis) and using them to defeat your opponent’s warband.
		By simplifying this game with just the one die, it makes for a more streamlined system that is still logically consistent (if not equal to) the core Dungeons and Dragons game.

		How would you DandD players out there that play chainmail feel about taking your characters, giving them minions out of the monstrous manual (any edition its all covertable) and playing a chainmail type game but you keep gaining experience.
		Now for the game to start, the wizards are taken out of the perspective.
		I just add it when it hits me. look for updates on this thread (and please by all means check the other threads to there are some really interesting) for things such as a revised character sheet for the wizard and his henchmen, encounter tables and everything like that.

	Claimh Solais: Miniatures
		I had finally found a miniature game that was exactly the kind of game I was looking for.
		Since Chainmail, I started playing Heroclix a bit and it's a decent game, but it's nowhere near the quality of game that Chainmail was.
		The best part of the game is the fact that it's superhero miniatures but even that can only carry the game so far.

		Despite the more recent appearance of new types of roleplaying games, character development games continue strong to this day, and are definitely the most important branch in the roleplaying evolutionary tree.
		When talking about core game design here, we'll only cover abstract or overarching modeling issues; the specific questions of modeling characters will be delayed until the discussions of the "character development" branch.
		This means that various and inconsistent game systems were used by the game to model different parts of the world.

		Either of these rules serves the admirable purpose of making the game less swingy.
		You could easily give saves or lives to little guys, too, maybe to things that are especially resilient (trolls, zombies).

		If you ever played the old Star Fleet Battles game, you may remember the "Captain's Campaign," in which you had a small group of starships to control during one random fight after another.
		All in all, this is a strong section - the D&D rules for leveling up have been simplified and converted to Chainmail in a logical and meaningful way which really captures the feel of D&D's levels.
		If you liked Chainmail and were wanting a decent quality add on for it, this would have been an average buy if only the game hadn't been cancelled.

		As video games continue to enter the mainstream and begin to wield a profound influence on popular culture, Dungeons & Dragons continues to exert a profound influence on video games.
		The game has had an influence far greater than just the licensed games and millions of knock-off RPGs that owe something to the gaming system designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson.
		They called themselves the "International Federation of Wargamers" and from their games of miniaturized combat would come a convoluted 30-year saga of triumph, tragedy, hysteria, wild success, incredible failures, and more twists and turns than even the most complicated dungeon crawl.

		Chainmail, which was the name of the original miniatures game that formed the basis for Dungeons and Dragons, is WotC's first effort in this burgeoning field.
		While Chainmail may well be very popular with fans who are thoroughly conversant with DandD, the miniatures used in Chainmail will require painting, and they won't have the combat dials that make Mage Knight's system so user-friendly.
		Chainmail looks like a miniatures game for hardcore miniature gamers, which may limit its ability to take advantage of the expansion of interest in miniatures sparked by Mage Knight..

		I happen to be a fan of both games, in case you’re curious.
		Since the Chainmail® game folded, Wizards of the Coast has been kind enough to provide “equivalency cards” for the old Chainmail® figures so that they may be used in the current D&D Miniatures Skirmish game.
		What you’ll find here is a master listing of the Chainmail® miniatures which currently have equivalency cards, and the ones I would like to see made as they are released in the new form.

		WotC's attempt at a stand-alone miniature game was a failed effort to crack the category that's been dominated for many years by Games Workshop, and has recently been turbocharged by WizKids.
		Chainmail was closer to Games Workshop than WizKids, with metal figures that required painting and a more conventional miniature rules system than WizKids'.
		Chainmail's abandonment is a continuation of serial unsuccessful attempts to crack the miniatures market by the owners of the DandD brand begun while TSR was an independent company.

		There's much debate as to how much he created (Gary Gygax seems to take the lion's share of the credit) but it's certainly true role playing would not exist as we know it today if it were not for Arneson.
		While the miniature games were fun, such straight out games became boring after a while and began to take on more role playing aspects (e.g., people played individual officers with personal missions).
		Accustomed to games being set in a given location, he began creating a game based around the mythical Blackmoor castle.
