Fifth edition · hex combat
Valor's Epoch
Valor is silent. The Adventurers' Guild still posts work, and the woodland still answers with slimes, needlers, and worse.
Sit a contract on the forest hex table: real 5.1 dice beside the minis, a Champion holding the door, a Life cleric keeping the party standing, an evoker waiting for a clean lane. Parties climb from first slots to Extra Attack. The last open contract is a CR 5 lord that buds.

What Valor's Epoch is
After Valor fell, the Guild kept posting work — a fifth-edition hex game in a woodland that never went quiet.
2 min
The shard
The Adventurers' Guild
A hall that turned trouble into scraps. On a longer campaign it remembers a party. Here it only posts the work.
2 min
The woodland after the fall
Grove, brushline, hollow, and deep. The trees did not get the news that Valor is gone.
1 min
After Valor fell
The god is silent. The work is not. People on the shard still plant, still walk, still send for the Guild.
2 min
The first company
The elementalist
A wizard in the back hexes. Evocation and control from the cells the warrior is buying. The lane, not a closer look.
2 min
The cleric
Life Domain. Bless and cure wounds already in hand. The shoulder behind the warrior, not a sermon in the film.
2 min
The warrior
The door. A Champion fighter from a second action to Extra Attack. The hexes that keep a slam off the other two.
2 min
The grove pack
Corrupted slime and the hollow
A blighted ooze whose touch sickens. The old hollow goes black around it. On the table it does not walk alone.
2 min
The grove pack
Iron is the woodland's wildlife: well and brush, hollow and deep. Not a ladder. A pack that did not get the news.
1 min
Ember mite cinders
A swarming cinder that bites and burns at once. The flash is easy to see. The tiny bites are what fester.
1 min
Needler in the brush
It shoots as defense. Traders remember punctures, not a weapon. The margin is its room.
1 min
Slime on the well
A weak ooze that pours through inch-wide gaps. One is a nuisance. A cluster pins and burns.
