Frequent questions. Straight answers.
Everything people ask about NecroForja and the campaign in one place — what the site is, how the campaign works and what you can do without an account. The table's house rules live on the Campaign Custom Rules page; rules questions not covered there go to the Arbitrator.

01 // GENERAL
What NecroForja is (and isn't), what Necromunda is and which languages the site speaks.
What is NecroForja?
NecroForja is a free web app — a digital campaign manager for the tabletop game Necromunda (Games Workshop). It tracks our The Aranthian Succession: Cinderak Burning campaign in real time: gang rankings, Sympathisers, battle reports and gallery. It is also Gabriel Stedile's portfolio project, with the code open on GitHub.
Does NecroForja sell miniatures?
No. NecroForja is not a store and does not produce or sell miniatures, resin or 3D prints. It is just a website that manages a tabletop campaign. There is a similarly named German brand (NecroForge) that sells miniatures — we are not related to it.
What is Necromunda?
Necromunda is a Games Workshop skirmish game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe: rival gangs fight over the Underhive of a hive world in battles of miniatures, dice and a healthy dose of betrayal. The How to Play page covers the basics and the Lore page introduces the setting.
Which languages does the site support?
English and Brazilian Portuguese. Use the language switcher at the top of the page — the preference is saved in your browser. Game terms (skills, weapons, rules) stay in English, as in the official books.
02 // CAMPAIGN
How The Aranthian Succession is tracked here — rankings, Sympathisers, house rules and battle reports.
Which campaign are you playing?
The Aranthian Succession: Cinderak Burning — an official Games Workshop narrative campaign. The table's progress (rankings, territories, Triumphs and Sympathisers) is tracked here on the site, on the Campaign page and the public Dashboard.
How does the gang ranking work?
Every reported battle updates the ranking automatically: wins, territories and Sympathisers all score points toward the overall standings. The public Dashboard shows the live standings — no account needed.
What are Sympathisers?
Sympathisers are the Underhive's population taking sides in the war: an influence map showing which factions back each gang as the campaign unfolds. The map lives on the Dashboard and is updated by the Arbitrator as the campaign progresses.
Does the campaign use house rules?
Yes — tweaks the table agreed on top of the official rulebook, such as the Infiltrate & Hidden Deployment rule. They are all documented on the Campaign Custom Rules page, under the Campaign Tools menu.
Can I join the campaign?
The current campaign is a closed table of friends, but the site is public — follow the rankings, read the battle reports and browse the gallery as much as you like. If a season opens seats, recruitment shows up in the ticker and the campaign journal.
Where do I read the battle reports?
In the Reports section (the campaign journal): each post covers a battle or a season event, with photos from the table. The photos also live in the Gallery, organised by category.
03 // SITE & ACCOUNT
Accounts and using the site on your phone.
Do I need an account to use the site?
Not for most of it: the landing, Dashboard, Reports, Gallery and the rules pages are public. Accounts exist only for campaign players (to manage their own gang) and for the Arbitrator (administration).
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — the site is responsive and is a PWA: you can install it on your phone's home screen and parts of it work offline. On iPhone, use "Add to Home Screen" in Safari.
