This page will eventually become the main page for the development efforts on the tabletop wargaming system known as Emlia. It is a work in progress, created by developers, gamers, hobbyists, and anyone who can appreciate a good game.

What is Emlia?

Emlia is a tabletop wargame system, similar in nature to Warhammer , DBA or Warmachine . Unlike these systems, however, Emlia is suitable for many different scales, genres, and settings. It is flexible, free, and in constant development. The philosophy of Emlia is made up of three simple things: flexibility – for any scenario, in any setting, in any scale – community – people building a game together – freedom – to produce, distribute, and sell content using an open source philosophy.
