Hi Radiant Tactics community!

I’m excited to share that Battle Role Blitz is now available—a complete tactical campaign that serves as the perfect gateway to Radiant Tactics’ cross-genre RPG system. You can download it now through our Patreon page.

What Is Battle Role Blitz?

Battle Role Blitz is a 10-13 scenario tactical campaign designed for 1-4 players (solo/co-op). You lead a mercenary squad into the Restricted Zone to retrieve forbidden technology for mysterious clients, only to discover the real danger might be whoever hired you in the first place.

The digital pack supports virtual tabletop play with 13 maps, 30+ unit models, and shareable pdf campaign and quick-play rules.

The print-and-play pack supports boardgame play, with a ‘Jaws of the Lion’ inspired play-on-the campaign book setup, unit cutouts, and printable cards.

What Makes It Special?

✦ Teaches Battle Roles Through Play The campaign introduces 10 distinct tactical archetypes (Sniper, Juggernaut, Support, Assassin, etc.) with pre-built characters that exemplify each role. You’ll learn how to build effective team compositions and counter enemy strategies through actual play.

✦ Branching Narrative with Real Choices

  • Three competing client factions (House Argus, House Zilant, The Norn)
  • Multiple different character epilogues based on your decisions
  • Character backstories that unlock as you progress

✦ Highly Replayable Design

  • Branching paths through three zones (easier/normal/hard routes)
  • Adjustable difficulty with multiple “challenge knobs”
  • Short campaign mode with meta-progression and unlockables
  • 15-80 minute scenarios that fit variable session lengths

✦ Solo/Co-op Friendly Clean AI behavior system using simple gambit syntax. No GM required—the enemies run themselves using clear targeting, movement, and action rules.

✦ Play-on-the-Map Design Everything you need is on the battle map pages. 5-minute setup.

What’s Included?

  • 13 Ready-to-Play Battle Maps with all setup info, terrain keys, and enemy placements
  • 10 Pre-Built Mercenary Characters with full backstories, beliefs, and values
  • Equipment & Upgrade System with equipment cards and battle role upgrades
  • Boss Fights with special mechanics and client deliverable rewards
  • Epilogue System with multiple endings based on your choices
  • Faction Briefs detailing the three client organizations and their agendas

Cross-Play Ready

Here’s what makes this especially valuable for Radiant Tactics: every character, monster, weapon, and map in Battle Role Blitz works across all Radiant formats.

Your mercenaries can continue their stories in:

  • Traditional RPG adventures
  • CCG-style skirmishes

Battle Role Blitz represents a major step for Radiant Tactics. It’s our first complete campaign module designed explicitly to:

  4. Provide reusable assets for the broader cross-play ecosystem
