This has nothing to do with martial arts, which we normally deal with here at Alliance. This is just a page for fun.

The Internet is home to thousands of free tabletop wargames, role playing games (RPG's), and card games.  Here we will share links to many of them that you can download, print, and play.  We will also be sharing some of the many games that Mr. Kautz has designed over the years.

Some religious people think that playing games is somehow spiritually harmful (probably right up there with dancing and talking to girls). This is the original Dark Dungeons tract from Chic Publications, which warns of the alleged dangers of suicide and devil worship associated with role-playing games. I passed these out at gaming conventions for years as a joke... Check out the rest of the Chic site for 100's of other tracts you can read online. Great stuff for clipart!

Need Dice?

Review of Easy Roller Dice & Accessories
Good dice for gaming at an affordable price

These are just a few of the dozens of games I have designed and playtested over the years. I will web more rule sets as I have the time / motivation.

1 Brain Cell Toy Soldiers
This is a free PDF version of the kind of toy-soldier rules I grew up playing with kids in the neighborhood, once we decided to use dice instead of BB guns to resolve the combats. Easy to play and expand on, perfect simple tactical fun for you and the kids with a .99 cent bag of green Army guys.

Kung Fu Heroes - Digital Edition Card Game
Kung Fu Heroes is a card game that we've been playing since 1995 with rpg, solo, and minis rules that we have added onto the card game shell.  This is a favorite beer and pretzels game, and the Advanced rules for team play with a rotating game master are a hoot.  Grab the 3x5 cards, some pens, a bunch of 6-sided dice and have fun.  Here are the Basic rules for the card game

Goblinoid Games
Makers of the 1st Edition Dungeons & Dragons retro-clone Labyrinth Lord as well as the Gama World influenced Mutant Future, both still just as fun as you remember them and compatible with most old adventure modules you have laying around.  So stop paying for new games and get playing a classic!

Morton's List: The End to Boredom
Real life and game mesh in this cult urban phenomenon known as Morton's List. Wild or mild...you've signed on for the ride! It is certainly a powerful answer to the age-old question of "what to do now?" This is not a table-top game or live-action in the sense that you think...this is real life!

Hardcore wargaming site for old-school players.
