Frostgrave - Grave Concerns

 A couple of weeks ago, we had our 2nd Campaign game for our latest Frostgrave Campaign. Since then I've been off to a gaming retreat & it seemed I needed this long weekend to finally get the comic finished.

This was the 2nd homegrown scenario as we make our way to Felstad. Mainly to allow newer players an opportunity to work through their warband.

Something else I did, was also to invite a buddy over to run the Necromancer's band that is in the cemetary. If he survives, he will return in future scenarios to be a thorn in the Wizard's sides.

Before the game I asked my wife to take a photo of the players.

Terry, Chen, Jonathan(guest antagonist), Craig, Kurt, Dan, Rolland

Grave Concern AAR - better grab a beverage!

So a couple of points in the after game discussion. I used a 6'x4' mat, which had 4 of the players starting further away from the centre than the last 2. One comment was to go for a square board to make it equal for all.

Another thought is that instead of lowering the values of the chest with a d4, we would move to either a d6 or d8.

Everyone had a good time (at least that's what they are saying to my face) & liked that I had a player playing our ongoing nemesis.

Thanks to everyone for coming out & we get to play inside Felstad for the next game in a few weeks.

Thus ends another Rocky Mountain Retreat

I spent the last 4 days on a gaming sojourn known as The Rocky Mountain Retreat or RMR for short.

A bunch of dedicated gamers gather to play games, talk smack, eat good food & of course....drink. And apparently this was the 20th Anniversary weekend!

I started off well, taking photos of some of the games I played Thursday upon arrival.

Moon Colony Bloodbath

And our annual playing of Eldritch Horror! Which takes us late into the evening & eventually heading to bed.

On Friday morning, Brent brought out his copy of Zombicide White Death. This is one of the many Kickstarters I have, but haven't cracked to look through. (Still working on painting the 1st Zombicide figures) Models were quite nice & with all Zombicide games, has lots of miniatures!

On Friday afternoon I ran my Pirates Miniatures Game. Those who see this images will recognize the scenario I am running. Little do these pirates know they are all doomed!

Captain, we have fires both Fore & Aft!

As soon as the first rowboat touches the wreck island, Skeletons & Zombies rise from the sand!

On Saturday Brent ran the next scenario for our Rangers of Rocky Mtn Retreat Campaign (Rangers of Shadow Deep).

We managed to survive the ambush.

Saturday night I ran "The Thing!" Unfortunately I forgot to get photos of the ragtag band of players & the game. However let it be known that we WON! We got everyone onto the Emergency Chopper & left the sole infected member behind.

Thanks again to the hosts for the invite & I look forward to attending again next year!
