Last update: 01-jul-2002:

  • revised card archives structure(one singe ZIP file for each gladiator type)
  • added solo rules to the manual
  • added Thoth module info

Gladius is another great WarpSpawn game by Lloyd Krassner: the latest version of rules is always available at the WarpSpawn site and covers both one-to-one combats and the campaign game. To make your life easier you can find here a PDF version of all the consolidated rules, including a solo variant.

In the WarpSpawn site you can also find a minature variant Gladius.

I've also created a separated campaign page where you can find some play aids (a list of pre-generated gladiators and the gladiator shool sheet).

Here below you can find a complete set of cards to play Gladius: all the cards are JPEG 200dpi files (about 400K) and are intended to be printed in colors.
