Cauldron
A downloadable game
CAULDRON is a swamp skirmish game from HILL GIANT. Gather your orcs, trolls, and goblins, grab a D12, and eat a weird mushroom, it's gonna be fine.
▶ Players concoct a tight warband of 3-7 greenskin menaces, and duke it out in the gnarly swamp of the same name: THE CAULDRON.
▶ Swaths of character creation options are provided to add diversity, mutations, and otherworldly madness to your warband.
▶ A dozen unique scenarios for gameplay, which can be broken apart, cobbled backed together, and replayed with new warbands and foes for endless replayability.
▶ Magic items, rare loot, potions, and forageables abound, presenting countless ways to decorate your units, and CLOBBER your foes.

We hosted a demo night yesterday, had 8 participants (+2 organizers). Thank you for this great ruleset, our club loves it!
Does the physical print come with the digital file?
Any chance to get this in print?
I'm similarly interested. Also, though, looking for a license to say whether or not having a small batch printed is ok.
hey this game is in print now https://hillgiant.bigcartel.com/
Looking forward to playing this! I got a bit confused by gaining XP . A couple of questions:
1. Friendly X taken out if action - thats your own warband yeah? So you more XP from your own greenskins dying than your enemy?
2. What's the difference between "friendly character, friendly non-hero character and friendly hero character"? Does each death gives you +10xp AND +25/+50?
This is awesome!! Love the style. Can't wait to get this on the table!
By the way, any chance of a physical zine restock soon? :D
Look! It's you, from RPS/Devival!
Hello.

OH GOD ITS BACK.
Cauldron cured my baldness and allowed me to live out my dirtgoblin fantasies!
Well dang I wish it would do that for us! (the baldness part)
