So I played some Frostgrave at long last with pal and every-other-weekly gaming companion Buzz. I think it went well; we were definitely going faster at the end than at the beginning. I can still see that I have a lot to learn, but I think I was already starting to get the hang of it.

Table setup. It is a bit mismatched at the moment and not at all snowy, but as I develop more actually Frostgrave-y terrain, the other stuff will fade out. The base is a set of Wilkinson's vinyl floor tiles I got at a car boot sale for like £3. |

Two archers, an infantryman and the Necromancer prepare to cross the frozen river on the left flank. |

Meanwhile, the apprentice, accompanied by a brave man-at-arms, a hapless thug and a trusty giant centipede (warhound), makes his way across on the right flank. |

Why do these strange lights burn atop this ceremonial dais? I'm gonna repaint the green bits in a more Frostgrave-appropriate colour. |

Contact with the enemy, in the traditional form of a brutal slugfest. |
I was pleased by the game, even though I didn't have time to prepare as much as I would have liked. I will cut out and sleeve the spell cards I printed for next time; that'll help.

This charming but gigantic Reaper Bones bugbear is going to be a Snow Troll. |
Would you recommend it, I'm wondering about getting a copy.
ReplyDeleteI have found it good so far, but of course I've only played one game. Conceptually, I certainly like it, but I think the heart of it is probably the campaign system and I haven't got very deep into that at all.
DeleteNow I want to paint my Bones bugbears white and blue.
ReplyDeleteRace you!
