Whether you crave a gritty, high-stakes simulation where every decision matters, or a fast-paced, cinematic flow, the system supports your vision seamlessly.
You are not buying three different games; you are getting one massive, comprehensive world with the freedom to play it exactly how your group desires.
THE HEX FERRUM ECOSYSTEM
• The Core Rules:
This is Hex Ferrum in its full glory. Designed for deep, long-term campaigns, it uses the complete rulebook mechanics, intricate hit-location combat, and nuanced character attributes. It is the ultimate toolkit for those who want a truly "hardcore" and tactile experience.
• Quick Combat System (QCS):
A streamlined alternative for encounter resolution. QCS simplifies the Core Rules while keeping your character’s skills, paranormal powers, and progression fully intact.
Versatile: Use it for large-scale battles, minor encounters, or as your primary combat system for an entire campaign if you prefer a faster, cinematic pace.
Fully Compatible: The Core Rules and QCS are interchangeable. You can even switch between them mid-session if a situation calls for a different intensity.
• Quickstart Mode:
The perfect gateway into the world of Vidoq. This is the same Hex Ferrum system, simplified for rapid learning and shorter sessions. It is the ideal way to get your party started!

The beauty of Hex Ferrum lies in its flexibility. You can stick to the Core Rules for a deep campaign and tactical combat, shift to the Quick Combat System during massive skirmishes to maintain momentum, or adopt Quick Combat System as your default style to keep the focus purely on the narrative.
The Quick Combat System is included directly in the main rulebooks. The Quickstart rules, along with a dedicated introductory adventure, are available as a free download.
