Frostgrave/Wetgrave?
« on: January 28, 2020, 09:33:00 AM »
I had the Frostgrave gang (Mark, Henry and Colin) over for a game to try out some of Mark's ideas for our new Frostgrave campaign. We have played two previous Frostgrave campaigns in monthly games and Mark has been inspired by my new Streets of Venice layout.

I have not played it, but I understand Ghost Archipelago has the swimming,drowning, and water monsters in it. Since it's pretty much the same game, those might save you some time.

I’m looking something similar - not so fussed on the snowy setting so looking at doing swamp/Venice/similar. Your table looks great!

That looks fun! Visually it is pleasingly different to the usual Frostgrave/GA layouts, but the interaction of the water and all those bridges must open up new tactical and narrative options!

Thank you for the kind words.

It does make things quite different tactically. Although the buildings sometimes restricted lines of sight, we had a lot more longer range shooting than normal games.
One funny situation was when the wild bear turned up. The nearest soldier was on the other side of a canal so we decided the bear would head for a nearby bridge to cross and get to him. But in doing so it ran into a soldier from another warband!
