Greetings all!
Multiple games of Strange Aeons were played this weekend. I thought I would share one staring my wife’s team. I played the lurkers. We rolled for the scenario and got Retrieve the Artifact.
Here's Trish's team:

End game
Father Xavier and Carl made a full recovery.
Sister Catherine increased her resolve and spent the treasure-hunting phase deciphering a scroll obtained from the previous game. She has learned the Bless Weapon spell.
Sister O’Donnell searches the last crate and finds nothing of value.

Wow I envy everything about this, but especially that your wife plays SA with you... lovely board, models and stuff but your wife seems the true gem! :D
-
A great AAR tough luck for the rifle armed cultist...those twisted hands!
I am always amazed how cool all the SA boards look
But her list seems to be illegal, if she has won 1 game, first agent should only be able to have 2 skills (one free and one from the win, presuming it was given to this model)

Thanks! I need to fire my editorial staff.....Sister O'Donnell (second agent) is rocking the Lieutenant skill. The first agent only has the Read and Speak Languages.

Wow! Thanks for the kind words and the warm welcome. I’m going to maintain a solid presence here on the LAF.
We are in the midst of an ongoing campaign with my son, wife, and Yetis Yell. Between the four of us, there should be a bunch of AAR’s to post.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1Vr4RxuZAH0/UB7XPShNRnI/AAAAAAAAB1g/OzuZN6LRxJY/s800/DSC_0006.jpg)
First game was my son’s crew. He’s running a group of gangsters.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-yJSAWgOEJic/UB7XRBraXPI/AAAAAAAAB1o/9ab_fI9bcOU/s800/DSC_0007.jpg)
Their record is 2 wins, 0 loses.
We got “Escape Into Danger” as the mission. His opponent consisted of a cult made up of the ship’s crewmembers.

Game #2:
My team
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3CxcKqClies/UB7XS7VuBKI/AAAAAAAAB2o/iY15BjKxj0Y/s800/DSC_0014.jpg)
Their record is 1 win and 1 lose. The dame is the widow Wannamaker. She took up arms after her husband, Officer Wannamaker, died by the slimy tentacles of a formless thing.
They are facing 2x Cult leaders, 2x zombies, and a cultist.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-T9hF7AFL1f8/UB7XTC23xgI/AAAAAAAAB3Q/U4-sXe73mN4/s800/DSC_0015.jpg)
Threshold deployment:
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Jo-AkK0oaGM/UB7XTfyxUsI/AAAAAAAAB2w/Mvsbp3qWTS8/s800/DSC_0016.jpg)
My agents quickly dispatched both cult leaders with small arms fire.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8u6Z8MAQEJY/UB7XTh1qwbI/AAAAAAAAB24/oCMHRqUuLOs/s800/DSC_0017.jpg)
The zombies were no match for a rifle and a Tommy gun. That left the lone cultist to charge into close combat.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nBz4ok43eZo/UB7XT0QLylI/AAAAAAAAB3A/HZS31UpNSY4/s800/DSC_0018.jpg)
He was quickly handled and another Threshold victory!
Officer Smith receives the lieutenant skill. The team found three map pieces!

Game #3:
My wife’s team takes the field. The mission is Monster Hunt.
Her team’s record is 2 wins, 0 loses.
She facing a Formless Thing with stat increase Dex and sprint.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Kx2nMtXhquc/UB7XUH1SCBI/AAAAAAAAB3I/iGMA9_iQDb8/s800/DSC_0019.JPG)
Due to its speed, the Formless Thing was able to get into close combat rather quickly.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WwqAnsdPBxE/UB7XURzrXxI/AAAAAAAAB3M/khPcLj489aw/s800/DSC_0020.JPG)
The rest of the game was one massive brawl between three of the Threshold team and the Formless Thing. After the Thing dropped a nun and a civilian, the Priest steps out of combat and kills the Thing with his .45’s.
Threshold victory!
No map pieces found.
The civilian made a full recovery. The Agent now suffers from Hemophobia.
-
Crap! You weren't done! :o
Three games! You had one hell of a weekend.
The Formless thing looks great :-*
My favorite still has to be the nuns though. :D
-
What a weekend!! Very nice AAR!! I love the scenery that you have used!!
-
Whoa, this is awesome! Glad the good guys pulled out the wins. Guess my team needs to get it on this week? I hear the local speakeasy is actually a recruiting station for The Church of Dagon...
-
Wow! Three great games there man, a great gaming family also!
-
Great stuff!
Lovely miniatures and scenery.
Love what you have done with the Formless Thing!
