Many hobbyists have had a great time playing with the Warhammer 40k, 8th edition, Open War. The narrative possibilities of this Open Play game aid have not gone unnoticed, but a few additional rules can help nuance the narrative and help add a little player interaction with the scenario development.
While this system does remove a small measure of the random generation of scenario elements, the Open War Narrative is still very much a self-telling story. The players are still engaged in a story that tells the major beats itself. Having said that, it’s up to the players to come up with the details on their own
