Meet your team members, make your own arms and armor and play a one day game of strategic capture the flag with multiple flags and capture-able territories! Dominion is like a strategy board game played on your feet with knowledge of the other teams' tactics and movements limited by your line of site and the organization of your scouts.

Dogs of Middangeard

Clans of the Khodé vie for control of the Last Kingdom in the time of the Ruin of Middangeard. This story is set shortly before the remnants of the once great Ghoddic people, now calling themselves the "Children of Ruin", set sail for the Realm and eventually found the House of Sahn-Gliér.

The Wyddic Bátreas

Factionalized houses of the Wyddic people war upon the plains of Mabon before the formation of the House of Hart.

The eruption of the Second Great Horror destroyed a Wyddic civilization that had existed for a thousand years around the great city of Dumnonia. Though sacrifices from the sorcerous family of Gwybdwyll silenced the Horror and ended the conflict, the greatest leaders of the Gwybdwylli and their allies followed the call of the Dragon and disappeared into the mountains.

The Horror had a lasting effect on the remaining families of the coastal fjords who assembled armies in their mountain fortresses - the Bátreas - and claimed what was left of the fertile Mabon valley for themselves.

Hard Tactical is a weekend experience that raises competition and resourcefulness to a new level, so if dropping yourself alone into the wilderness with only a cardboard dagger sounds like fun, read on...

We give you no teams, you'll have to find or form a small band of comrades as quickly as you can, or remain a Hedge Knight on your own constantly under pressure from warring factions.

We give you no cardboard weapons or armor. Not only must you build everything from scratch, but you must first find cardboard, tools and supplies before you can even start building!

We give you few safe places to be, and even there you cannot remain for more than a few minutes. You'll have to build or discover your own safe places and level up to keep opponents from finding and raiding them.

We give you no exact method of winning the game, there are a multiplicity of outcomes and that gets defined primarily by how you all end up playing the game!

Hard Tactical is an experience designed for the most mature and cooperative players; toxic behavior of any sort simply cannot be tolerated. Hard Tactical might be for you if you are looking to be your best self in an extremely competitive environment where loss is constant.

If this sounds like fun, then we invite you to try! Test your sense of indomitable cheer under pressure! Test your ability to stay cooperative, forgiving and not lose your sense of humor in the highest spirit of the game, in the harshest conditions and under the most punishing losses!
