ABOUT WAR-TORN WORKSHOP

War-Torn Workshop is an independent tabletop game studio based in the UK, dedicated to creating the tools for immersive roleplaying experiences inspired by history. Our focus is on games that combine approachable mechanics with extensive Gamemaster tools to give space for groups to create exciting and meaningful stories. We aim to provide rulesets that facilitate fun at the table, without getting in the way.

Our first release, Shrapnel, is a cinematic World War II tabletop roleplaying game where players take on the roles of commandos and resistance fighters carrying out dangerous missions behind enemy lines.

Built around a bespoke roll low to succeed system, Shrapnel emphasises tactical decisions and fast paced action. The mechanics are designed so that memorable moments emerge naturally through play rather than feeling scripted or forced.

At War-Torn Workshop we believe that great games deserve great production values. We only work with real humans, and operate a zero AI policy.

Our products are designed to feel like beautiful, durable and practical artefacts that can be thrown into a bag for many years. This is only the beginning. Future theatre dossiers and new games are already in development.

Thank you for visiting, and welcome to War-Torn Workshop.
