War of the Roses is a 2D strategy/roleplaying game set in the world of my (oth­er­wise pen-and-paper) Changeling game. It is writ­ten in Java 1.5, and cur­rently uses Plan­et­Cute tiles for its graph­ics. It is very early on in devel­op­ment — there’s only one level, for exam­ple, and lots of bugs — but it’s improv­ing almost daily.

Issues with this appli­ca­tion are tracked on my Man­tis server, which is open to any­one to sign up, report bugs and request fea­tures. Please report any issues you find!
