Frostgrave Perilous Dark Review on Youtube
« on: September 10, 2019, 02:24:18 AM »
This weekend, a link to this video popped up on my Facebook feed:

https://youtu.be/iVZIxyplnh4

I'm not going to give a review of the review, but I learned a lot of interesting and useful stuff from it...especially with careful use of the pause button!

An early look was just what I needed to cement in what was, honestly, already a sure purchase for me.  I'm looking forward to using my dungeon tiles and taking a new wizard warband on perilous adventures into the catacombs below Felstad!

Has anyone heard if Northstar is doing some sort of Nickstarter for this release?

I don't believe there is a Nickstarter for this one.

I don't play Frostgrave, but I do play ROSD, are the random dungeon rules in any way compatible?
If not, is there a chance of something similar for ROSD in the future?

Cheers,
Stroezie.

ROSD is based on the same "engine" as Frostgrave so I expect you can covert the system to Rangers without too much difficulty. My main question is how effective the solo rules and mechanics will actually be - hopefully worth the wait
Prof Challenger, I presume?

I think you're wrong Joe.

Dungeon tiles and lots of nasties... ?

A wild stab in the dark...which is what my wizards' enemies normally get...
Wandering stars, for whom is reserved, the blackness, the darkness forever.

Wargames Illustrated has done a flip-through review of the book:

https://youtu.be/sOOrYCxm3fU

This review flips to some different pages than the previous review.  Using the pause button, I feel like I've read most of the rules section of the book!  All that's done is convince me that what I've read is worth the purchase, and I really want to read the rest!

As far as the new minis go, I'm hoping for at least the Magmites and...whatever the weird name of the gnoll/minotaur hybrid was.

Hey Nick, can I also suggest dedicated Gnoll wizards at some point?  At this time, I think they're the only plastic box set that came out without their own wizards!

You're right on the first counts.

Gnoll Wizards. I'll take Joe's lead there.

great development this.

I guess it's unlikely given the scale of investment necessary, but Rob Oren's idea for a boxed set, say with dungeon and room tiles, would just be wonderful for the game at this point in time.

Well, there are these guys: http://northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=8421
I know, they are not GNOLL Wizards, but they are definitely the type of wizard who would lead a warband of Gnolls through Felstad. That is what they will be doing in my games at least.

I learned more in the 3min Wargames Illustrated video than Rob's 5min video.  I hope Ash from Guerrilla Miniature Games does a flip through and play through of some of the missions like he has with previous books.

Can wait, I have my copy pre-ordered

I've preordered Perilous Dark as well. Just debating whether to kick off a solo campaign and play the Dark Alchemy scenarios whilst waiting for the books release.
