Song of Blades and Heroes ("SBH") is a slim, easy to learn, fast-play, skirmish level fantasy tabletop rule system by Andrea Sfiligoi, published by Ganesha Games (https://www.ganeshagames.net). With this system, figures from any manufacturer at 15mm or 28mm scale can be used. Besides a ton of pre-manufactured unit profiles, players can create their own units with any traits ("special rules") at their convenience.
Online Warband Calculator ("OWC") is a tool for designing units and calculating warband points.
Key features:
- Intuitive, therefore easy to use
- Complies with SBH Revised Edition (rules version 5.0)
- Includes special rules from the extensions
- Song of Gold and Darkness
- Song of Wind and Water
- Song of Deeds and Glory
- Song of Arthur and Merlin
- Up-to-date with errata from Ganesha Games "Free Hack" magazine
- Checks rule compliance of units and warbands
- Localized for various languages
- Printer-friendly output

This project started in 2009 as zero-resources, minimum-code vanilla JavaScript, meaning no external libraries or frameworks or any non-HTML/CSS/JS resources were used. Over the course of time, web development techniques advanced and also OWC evolved in design, features and code architecture. Meanwhile, it makes use of Third‑party libraries and external resources such as Google Fonts or FontAwesome for futher advance.
Functionality is tested with the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome on Linux desktop and Android mobile versions (and rarely even on Microsoft Edge). I expect users to always have the latest version of their browser installed - for their own sake. I do not do workarounds for issues caused by a browser's poor implementation of JavaScript or CSS.
Eventually, this is just a hobby project.
Versioning does not follow the usual sequences, but versions are numbered after the year and month of their release.
