Warlock is a rules-light roleplaying game that aims
to emulate the feeling of old-school British tab-
letop games of wondrous and fantastical adventure.
Warlock looks to reproduce the play style of its
illustrious predecessors but in a light, quick and
simple manner, with a consistent rules set that is
easily hackable and adaptable as desired.
WHAT IS THIS GAME?
Warlock is a tabletop roleplaying game, played with
pencils, paper and dice. The implied setting is a
fantasy world in a vast Kingdom of man. Beset on
all sides by enemies, both without and within, the
players control characters struggling to survive
in a fantastic world. So thematically, Warlock is a
fantasy game of perilous adventure. However Warlock
does not contain lots of explicit setting informa-

to give you a simple and concise set of rules that
you can shape as you need.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO PLAY?
There are a few things you will need before you can
