Home of WEGSThe Wickedly Errant Game System
Remember the days of dungeons and dragons and wizards and whatnot? Well, they are back with a vengeance with WEGS Old Skool!
WEGS, the Wickedly Errant Game System is at your command! Exploding with the spirit of heroic pulp-fantasy, the game is energized by an errant rule system which encourages players to take risks and, most of all, have fun. Wickedly easy to play, Old Skool harkens back to the day when all you needed to go on an adventure were a few dice, a single-sided character sheet, and a willing imagination!
Old Skool is the introduction to the game and tells players how to create their Arks (characters). It’s as simple as picking a class (Warrior, Ranger, Trickster, Mage or Sage) and a race (Dwarf, Elf, Goblin, Gnobbit or Humnz). After a few quick dice rolls to determine the Ark’s starting stats, the players are handed their “spoints” (poker chips) and the fun begins! The game is that brutally simple.
WEGS is a great introduction for new role-players, and rpg veterans will get big kicks out of the speed-of-play. WEGS is the action-packed, dice-rolling, casino-crazed, sword-n-sorcery system that you and your dice have been waiting for! Don’t be the last gaming group in town to jump into the fray!

The Adventure Game With Dice And Guts
A Brief History
Way, way back in 2005, El Willy and his band of merry-go-lucky Wegshogs launched their initial WEGS tour. They took their little sword-n-sorcery engine everywhere they could on the gaming circuit: gaming stores, college cons, regional conventions (WittCon, DexCon, Dreamation, Icon, MACE and more!) and the mega cons (Origins, Historicon and Gen Con). During their travels many gamers jumped into the WEGS fray and took a bite out of this strange, new, retro-hybrid adventure game. Some took a whole lot of bites.
After five years of basement playtesting and two solid years of introducing convention players to WEGS, the game system was finally released at GenCon 2007. With each passing con, more and more folks are finding out why the Wickedly Errant Game System is unlike any other system on the market. With poker chips, skill cards, dice and minis in play, how can you really go wrong?
Since its 2007 release, El Willy and his band of merry-go-lucky Wegshogs have continued to play the game at conventions bringing more and more players to the WEGS table. In July 2010, a brand-new version of the game was released: Old Skool Redux! Also released was the advanced rules of WEGS play, Dice Rule!. "It's a whole new ballgame.", according to one WEGS fan!
As one young con player remarked, "It's like (insert the name of that really, really famous sword-n-sorcery game), but you don't have to read all those rules!"
