HELLPIERCERS

The War in Heaven is over. The Demiurge is dead. The Angelic Generals are dust. Humanity reclaimed its gnosis, shattered the chains of divine control, and stepped into collective divinity. For a brief moment, it felt like the end of history.

Then the Council of Socialist Gnostics opened the wound in the world, and found Hell.

Billions of souls lost. Cities made of suffering. Flesh-forged weapons. Vast empires ruled by bickering Demon Princes. The truth hit hard: most of humanity was never free. It was stolen.

HELL IS A PRISON. BREAK ITS BARS.

HELLPIERCERS is a tabletop tactics RPG about post-mythic warfare, mechs powered by ritual and divinity, and the struggle for total, unconditional liberation. Gather a conclave. Descend into the Hellscape. Wield the hearts of stars, the corpses of angels, and the blade of your own truth. Fight hordes, rebuild the ruins of DIS, and uncover the forgotten truths buried beneath the ash.

• TACCOM combat is fast, positional, and frenetic. Players navigate a shared grid with dozens of complex and esoteric weapons, special effects, terrain features, and reactive conditions. Deep buildcrafting asks you to assemble the ultimate divine warrior-godling from thousands of combinations of weapons, armor, classes, equipment, gear, airstrikes, vehicles, mechs, and more. Cleft through hordes of disposable hellions, thrash yourself against the flesh-wall of a swarm, and humble yourself before the terrible might of the Demon Princes. Raid-like rituals and mid-battle AGNOSIA transformations drive constant build innovation and demand exploration of synergies and team tactics to overcome.

"Humanity’s gains have slowed, and many fear a stalemate. Irregular warfare, unconventional tactics, and rapid deployment of new technology are encouraged in hopes of preventing a counter-offensive."

• STRATCOM gives players control over the broader campaign against Hell. Fight the War In Hell and tell your narrative on a grand strategy scale. Each faction comes with its own territory map, where GMs and players plan routes, draw enemy counterattacks, intercept supply lines, and launch surgical strikes on enemy fortresses. Not just a visual aid, the map becomes a living record of every hard-bought inch of victory in the final war. Missions stack up towards the endgame; piercing through the rings of Hell toward a final confrontation with the Demon Princes in their citadels.

“The Demon Princes are in constant conflict... which provides ample chance for a united Humanity to battle their superior weapons and numbers."

• RECON drives the narrative systems outside of combat, taking players through the nightmarish realms of Hell and into the haunted catacombs and vaults beneath DIS, uncovering ancient weapons, forbidden ritual, and fractured histories. Roll tables generate strange encounters, horrific remnants of the war in Heaven, and factions twisted beyond recognition. Esoteric secrets aren’t just flavor, they can reshape missions, unlock new tech, or change the ideological nature of the conflict. Every ruined corridor contains something long forgotten and deeply important.

“Scout the ruins of DIS, uncover a terrible truth, scavenge from the catacombs, or attempt to reconstruct what this place was, long ago.”

• HELLPIERCERS blends mythic scale with revolutionary ideals with a grand narrative stretching back to the dawn of time. Bask in a universe unlike anything you've seen before, dig in the remnants of divine warfare, and struggle with the cosmic consequences of humanity's newly-ascended hubris. This is a world where metaphysics have been shattered and repurposed; where humanity wields it's reclaimed Godhood like a vanguard party; elevating stars, and smashing infernal jails. The tone veers from high gnostic ceremony to violent liberation struggle to haunted memory. It’s part metaphysical horror, part tactical siege, part ancient sci-fi myth.

"When you’ve slain God, what’s left? Hell."
