OK, so you played with DR Who models, with DA rules, right ? Do you have written a conversion document or something like that ?

All conversions done on back of a beer mat. Not that I changed much. Just gave our 'Dr' various spells from the book and used them as his abilities. Supernatural beasties were just that, nasty supernatural beasties etc. Lots of laughs and fun for 5 players and 1 ref/assistant.

 Here's a question about the Sisterhood of Salem. If the crone knows summon can the other witches also summon. The rules seem like they can but, from a few games with them, summoning 3 entities at a time seems a bit strong. Is this intended? Thanks in advance.

I'd play it that only the Crone was actually the Summoner, despite the others attempting to use her powers, so only 1 Summoned entity.

Yeah, that's basically what I was thinking. I figured maybe only she would count as a summoner since she's the one who actually has the spell, but the game isn't really clear on what counts as a summoner. Thanks for the input.

Yes you can but one of each type.
Taken from the rulebook:
A Posse can only have one Summoned model in play per Summoner at any time,
and may only have one of each type of Entity at a time (one Lesser and one Minor
Entity, but not two Lesser Entities).

That would still be 3 entities, so overpowered, imho.

 I agree that the rules as written support it, I was just wondering if it was intended and was hoping to get an answer from the author to clarify. Given that he has optional rules on his blog for toning down summoning, and mentions the Crossroad Cult, I thought it odd that I couldn't find anyone mentioning the fact that the Sisterhood could be a summoning factory that laughs at the Cult.

 My thought was that since the rules say you can only have one entity active per summoner, but don't define summoner, maybe the other witches weren't technically summoners. Like, are they still summoners if they move away from the crone and no longer have access to her spell? Are they only summoners during the action in which they cast the spell? What happens to their entity if they lose summoner status?

 For the time being we'll probably just try it with the optional summoning points and see how that goes.

Been watching cowboys and aliens and wondered if anybody had thought up some rules for aliens in Dracula’s America. I mean something pretty simple, using for example the Copplestone little grey men. Maybe everyone just gets arcane blast :) I guess the issue is they have such great technology.

Doubt about down and engaged :
  • A fight is ongoing between 2 models A1 and B. Model A2 is near B, able to shoot
  • Model B fights A1 and wins :  A1 is now down, but still in contact with B
  • It's A2 turn now : is it possible for it to shoot B, or is it still considered engaged with A1 ?

Thanks !

I’d say A2 can now shoot B

I don’t think we have ever thought of downed characters counting as engaging an enemy

Maybe alredy asked, but  :

- What is the purpose of the 'Hawkeye' skill of the Guard Dog mercenary (Hunting Grounds) ?

- Where are appearing Eldritch Entities (Frobidden Power) ?

Thanks !
