With the quarantine on my son is home from school and my wife is working from home although I am still working we have a lot of family time on our hands. My son is not a big fan of fantasy settings but my wife and I have played D&D for years. We actually met at a D&D game. In order to do something fun and somewhat educations I cooked up this non fantasy historic campaign. The game report can be found here: https://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2020/04/blew-cotes-raid-on-pleasant-pig-d-5e.html (https://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2020/04/blew-cotes-raid-on-pleasant-pig-d-5e.html)

Ha! What a great idea! I'd thought of using Early Renaissance mini's but never thought of extending D&D into the ECW era 8)

Great idea,and looks excellent!

Episode 2 of my family English Civil War D&D campaign is up: https://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2020/04/cavaliers-and-roundheads-was-blew-cotes.html (https://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2020/04/cavaliers-and-roundheads-was-blew-cotes.html)
I changed the campaign name. I know I'm using some odd miniature choices but my ECW collection is small and it's hard to get miniatures these days. I've tried to use the best proxies I have.

Looks like great fun. You have a very fine collection of minis. I could see the introduction of a witchfinder and witches (they needn't be real witches - they might just think they are !).

Episode 4 is finally up. Had some delays as I have recently moved into a much nicer place with a stunning game room that we are currently working on. The report is a little rough as I had forgotten a lot of details. We've also had Episode 5 in the campaign which I hope to have up in a few days. I've also got a lot of new miniatures coming with an order from Brigade games and a ECW started Army from Warlord on the way. Lots of painting to do!

Great combo of self reliance and ingenuity to use D&D to get your ECW/Renaissance minis on the table with your family.

It works better than I thought it would with the sub classes for fighters and rogues. I haven't even done much to make it "historic" in nature other than taking out the supernatural elements.

I put the latest episode up here: http://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2020/05/cavaliers-and-roundheads-episode-5.html (http://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2020/05/cavaliers-and-roundheads-episode-5.html)
I hope to have another game by this coming Sunday but we might have a slight delay to paint miniatures and make some new terrain.
