I have no intent to discourage anyone from their write ups.

Bloggard - we shall have to disagree.

nice work on the Eritherean Chris.

I would certainly hope that you're not discouraged from with your write-ups (whether for GA or not) anyway.

yes, 3D printing - amazing, sci-fi-like to me really ... but on the minus side potentially the death-knell for many a small scale supplier of traditional gaming pieces (particularly terrain at this point) I would have thought, unless they get in early and are able to invest in more 'commercial' quality machines etc (quite apart from having the skills to model designs in-house) and give punters a compelling reason not to bother with doing it at home.

Thanks, Bloggard!  No, not discouraged from writing, so no worries. :)

Thanks, Mike!  Good luck with your next game!  Our next one is a week and a half away.  I suspect Knabe should be along with his report soon from the August game...   :)

Thanks Bloggard, glad you enjoyed the story.

Yes, my dice were hot during that game, except for a couple of rolls that cost me two crewmen.

 Last Saturday we played our September campaign game; and did a home-brew scenario set in an abandoned Drichean Mine.. 
 
I have now written up Lord Fortrywn's report and posted it to my blog.
 
    "...The Crew-woman hit the rough stone hard and the wind was knocked out of her, as the pain of putting weight on her injured leg brought firework explosions in her head.  The flashes faded as a blackness overtook her and she slid to the floor unconscious.
      Lord Fortrywn prepared to finish the Pearl Diver for good, but before he could thrust with his blade, his eye caught movement in the archway as Skorri Drakenburg himself burst into the room, with, oddly, a large Snapping Turtle following close behind..."

 
 And...

      "...As they went, Songlyne made sure the Ring and coin pouch were tucked securely in her pack.  Before they reached the corner at the bottom of the slope, another large stone came sailing through the air and hit Salin square in the back.  The Pearl Diver pitched forward from the force of the impact, and his head came down hard on one of the rusty rails, cutting a deep furrow across his forehead..."
 
Hope you enjoy!   http://onemoregamingproject.blogspot.com/2018/09/ghost-archipelago-campaign-18-game-9.html

that. is. totally. EPIC !!  :-* :-*

awesome looking set-up.
looking forward to a read of the blog later this weekend.
interesting to see how the GA rules work out in that kind of terrain.

looks to be an absolutely fantastic conception for a scenario.

well, don't know how, but just getting better, having read the full write-up on your blog.

set-up looks fantastic, one of the best I've seen, but I think that your AAR reads even better in the minds- eye. A good reminder to me that that's how it should be I guess.

the mines / ' dungeon' setting seemed to work very well: compressing both the literal space, and also the drama of the encounters etc as a result.

again, I honestly think Osprey could look at licencing these write-ups from you - the combination of genuinely involving and exciting narrative (v. rare for bat. reports) together with just enough 'engine-room' detail about the game mechanics is really effective.
It certainly leaves me wanting to play the game more.
