Title: Well of Dreams and Sorrows
Post by: tim in saskatoon on February 22, 2016, 08:03:32 AM

I went on another expedition into Felstad with the family again over the weekend - this week we played the Well of Dreams and Sorrows scenario (mostly to make use of a new terrain piece!)

A very nice read, once again.

I really like your table. It's simple but evocative in a good way, and looks fun to play on (as the AAR's also seem to imply)

I liked it and may implement some similar rules for our campaign.

interesting how good a plain-coloured but 'neat and tidy' table looks with good terrain pieces arrayed on it like that.

Awesome way for kids to practice math. Looks like fun.

It's true - my son first learned quick mental calculation of simple addition (of numbers up to 12) (plus doubling) playing Hordes of the Things when I started him out with that seven years ago.

Your central terrain piece looks great and I may copy it.  I agree about the fun of having more monsters.  Of course my background is D&D, rather than tournament-style mini's games, so the random arrival and behavior of the monsters is always welcome.

I think it's great that your family are all playing together. My Mom and Dad had no interest in wargaming so my brother and I always ending up fighting each other ... and then FIGHTING each other!

Nice scenery too. You seem to have struck the balance between realistic and playable quite nicely.

While my background is miniatures games (though not the tourney-style ones, never been a fan...), I agree.  If I'm going to collect figures for all the different monsters, they damn well better get used in a game!  lol :D
