The crowns rule the sky.
The aces decide who survives it.
Aces & Kings is a tabletop roleplaying game of high-altitude dogfights, radioactive skies, and royal wars, set in a shattered atomic-punk world where nations have collapsed into rival kingdoms and the fate of empires is decided miles above the earth.
You play elite pilots-aces, nobles, rebels, and survivors-flying propeller-less atomic biplanes in deadly aerial combat. Every mission is a risk. Every victory earns glory, scars, and enemies. Loyalty to the crown is rewarded... until it isn't.
Built on a Powered by the Apocalypse-inspired system, Aces & Kings emphasizes:
- Fast, cinematic aerial combat
- Meaningful character bonds and rivalries
- Tactical decisions with emotional consequences
- Aircraft that feel as dangerous as the wars they fight
Inside you'll find:
- A rich atomic-punk setting of fallen nations and warring crowns
- Streamlined rules for aerial combat, formations, and dogfights
- Distinct playbooks like The Ace, The Wing Leader, The Royal Blade, and The Black Flag
- Multiple aircraft types, from agile Interceptors to terrifying Bombers
- Tools for long-term campaigns, legacies, and shifting power in the skies
- GM guidance for running high-stakes war stories with human cost
This is not a game about winning wars.
It's a game about who you become while fighting them.
If you love cinematic action, character-driven play, and worlds where honor and ambition collide at altitude-Aces & Kings is your next campaign.
