Direwolf & Dragon Rampant - Unleash the Kraken!
« on: February 10, 2013, 06:09:16 AM »
With the aid of my tech savvy gaming buddy Jay, of "Jay's Wargaming Madness" http://jayswargamingmadness.blogspot.com/, I have created my very own blog focused mostly on my hairbrained attempt to kitbash my way into medieval wargaming in a Westeros setting.

I welcome your comments, thoughts, suggestions, and feedback there.  Piccies of my forces to date tomorrow.

Still waiting on those Claymore Castings to make their way to California.

See it here:

Hey Doowopapocalypse, that's a great link and exactly the spirit of support I'm looking for!  Looks like he's in a circle of German gamers I've been following for some time. 

Thank you!!

This looks great! But surely it belongs in the Fantasy board...

Hammers, that's a fair comment that I'll leave to the mods.  Here's my logic for posting it here:

- I'll be using historical models for this setting and I want opinions and advice from historical gamers. 

- I'll be using historical rules with no fantastical elements. 

It's essentially a historical game that just alternative history and not really fantasy - i.e. magic and mythical creatures.

Again, I'll let the mods decide.

Strictly speaking it is fantasy... but as it's a bit divorced from WH, LotR and anything with Mages, Goblins, Orcs and all that shit what have you, I'd personally prefer to see it here. Having said that I think the same about Bruegelburg too and that's been consigned to Fantasy.

Maybe we need a "Fantasy (the hard stuff) Board".

Very interesting... I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones, although I prefer the books to the TV series. I shall follow with interest.

I'm with Arlequin - although GOT is an invented world, the fantasy elements are pretty minimal (okay, apart from the dragons - but they're really bit-part players in the cycle so far).
It's really just an alternative medieval setting. Not that different from me making up a lot of fictitious Lords and retinues for Wars of The Roses... :)

...and white walkers. And  giants on mammoths. And green fire. ;)

I am being facetious. It is no skin off my nose at all.
