Why Carve a Niche with TheAltRealm?
GCmini's saga revolves around historical miniature wargaming, a tale woven with precision and honor. Yet, we yearned to paint a new legend, one drenched in the hues of fantasy, SciFi, and the aftermath of apocalypse. Thus, TheAltRealm was born - a sacred ground where Fantasy, SciFi, and Post Apocalyptic gamers, both those who traverse RPG realms and those who command miniatures, can unite under one banner.
The Name that Resonates - TheAltRealm
"TheAltRealm" isn't merely a title; it's a portal to new dimensions. Our genesis lay in historical wargaming, but here, we dared to create anew. An alternate realm, if you will. Moreover, the universe conspired to intertwine fate with initials, for "AR" proudly represents the owner. A serendipitous alignment that we embrace with joy.
