What it is about
BASTARD ARENA is a brutal fantasy arena game for 1 or 2 players. Create your Bastard, enter the arena and fight whatever comes through the gate. Battle goblins, orcs, barbarians, beast-men and worse while the screaming crowd can help, or hinder, your chances of survival. Kill opponents. Take their gold. Buy better equipment. Grow stronger. If your Bastard reaches 0 HP, they die. Play solo or team up with another Bastard in two-player co-op. All you need is the single-page ruleset and a six-sided die. ENTER THE ARENA. KILL! SURVIVE! GLOAT! TOMB! Magazine: A free magazine of new material for Fatal Tomb , Rot Barrow , and Bastard Arena , including new foes, generators, adventures, optional rules, and more.
