About the Warrior Code™ Open Battle Gaming System 

  • The Warrior Code™ is also known as the Open Battle Gaming System because it is published under the Open Game License v1.0a (OGL) written by the Wizards of the Coast. This allows players to use the rules without membership to any battle game organization. It also allows anyone to extend and publish their own rules extensions using the OGL.
  • TheWarrior Code™ rules for combat (System Core Rules) are independent from the equipment rules (Padded Weapon Rules). This is done to allow the core system to be applied into a variety of mock weapon technologies. The initial publication focuses on the padded mock weapon technology (also known as foam weapons). Plans are for subsequent development of rules for Latex LARP equipment, boffer, heavy boffer and heavy stick equipment. Regardless of the equipment in use, the same core combat rules will apply. This approach was specifically taken to ensure that system could be adapted to new technologies as they become available.
  • The Warrior Code™ Core Rules attempt to merge the best of all the existing battle gaming rule sets.
  • The Warrior Code™ has created a standard by which to describe a battle game in sufficient detail to allow a game organizer to sit down and read the battle game description and decide if it will fit with a given battle day. This makes for much easier planning. The standardized descriptions also allow players to develop their own scenarios, play-test them and then publish these scenarios so other groups can use them.
  • The Warrior Code™ has been created with a number of optional rules. These optional rules can be applied to specific games, entire game days, or as a general baseline for a given club of players. The system can easily morph itself into the existing combat rules for battle gaming clubs such as Amtgard, Belegarth, Dagorhir, Darkon, and High Fantasy Society.

The rule set is available for free for anyone to use.  For a full interpretation and explanation of the rules consult Battle Gaming: The New American Sport.
