Scalemail
A downloadable game
Welcome to Scalemail, the Old School Recreation of Chainmail, the wargame that inspired Dungeons & Dragons. There have been many recreations of the classic RPG that the very foundation of which it came from was overlooked.
In time, the game aged, and with it, its rules also aged. In a way, it’s me looking at the text of the original Chainmail for inspiration and reinterpreting the rules as well as adding a new yet simple spin on it.
This is where the name comes in. Scalemail is cheaper and lighter than Chainmail armor. With that, I hope you enjoy playing wargames with these rules in mind.
