Good evening.
Good evening.
Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Oooh. Is that new? What's in it?
ReplyDeleteBrand new, I preordered it and forgot until I got the shipping info. It's all about Demons. True names, unique Demons, new spells, soldiers, treasure, monsters, and a campaign.
ReplyDeleteCampaign? I thought Frostgrave was a tactical PvP battle game? Are there other modes?
ReplyDeleteYour wizard gains experience and treasure through play. So the campaigns have linked scenarios. Much like old school D&D, the point isn't to slay your opponents, but to gather treasures and live to loot again while increasing your power.

ReplyDeleteCasey G. is a powergamer: confirmed
Casey G. Oh there's a PCish wizard? I don't know shit about this game apparently. But it is PvP, not ref based?
ReplyDeleteYou know it, Paul V.
ReplyDeletegregory blair yeah, the Wizard is like a PC and you hire the rest of your warband and hope you don't get killed. But it is a regular skirmish wargame with no ref. But there are excellent downtime activities and spells to cast between battles.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty neat. You play with your fam or at a FLGS, Casey G.?
ReplyDeleteMostly I read the books and wish I was playing.
ReplyDeleteStory of my life.
ReplyDeleteThat's a damn fine beer you've got there.
ReplyDeleteD&D, beer, cheese, and beer cheese soup are the only good things to ever come out of Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteWe talked about this a few months ago, and I got distracted making minis tokens for Roll20. Have you ever gotten a game in yet, Casey G.?
ReplyDeleteJust at Gen Con with James LaManna. I think Andy Garske and I will be able to get some in over Thanksgiving. Are you around, Barry?
ReplyDeleteNope, In-laws are coming here. I'll try to get my father in law to play some more games that he doesn't say "it sucked!" afterwords. Maybe I'll have some time in an evening to work on my Frostgrave roster some more.
ReplyDeletegregory blair It's like Mordheim or Necromunda, a skirmish-type game. As opposed to Mordheim, though, only one or two (or three) of your guys get better, the rest are just stock crossbow dudes/sword dudes/whatever.
