Does anyone think that we will see, or would you like to see, other games set within the Frostgrave setting? I was thinking that it would be interesting to have a HeroQuest style dungeon crawler based in Frostgrave. Or perhaps even a larger skirmish game, with a few units of troops engaging in combat (perhaps smaller scale than, say, Warhammer or Kings of War).
I would be most interested in a "HeroQuest" style game, but with more characters to choose from, like various wizards (toned down to balance the other classes), knights, barbarians, archers, thieves, etc.
-
How about a Frostgrave Talasman. I think it would fit the search for loot kill the monsters fight off the other players type game.
-
It would be great for a roleplaying game.
-
Well into the breeding pits had rules for underground so dungeon crawling will be viable soon.
-
A Card game like Dominion. A deckbuilder where you improve your warband with new members, spell and magic items.
-
I do like the idea of a role playing game. I had thought of using the Savage Worlds rules myself to create it.
-
I am looking at a Apocalypse Survivor setting using "modern" figures pitted against other survivor bands and possibly ET's or Cthullhoid monstrosities - I have a ton of modern buildings and vehicles just itching for some Frostgrave goodness

By "dungeon crawler," I meant a completely different game system, similar to HeroQuest, Castle Ravenlot, Warhammer Quest, etc.

I'm speaking of different game systems within the Frostgrave setting, rather than using the Frostgrave rules for other settings.

I thought it would make a great pairing with Dragon Rampant and some sort of Strange Aeons like dungeon crawl.

So any other system in a frozen city full of undead? OK

Surely it doesn't really need a roleplaying game, any fantasy RPG would do, AD&D for example. FrostGrave certainly reminds me of the adventures we had in Myth Drannor. Indeed when frost grave first came out thats the first thing I thought of, Myth Drannor with added snow.

What Bishop Cockthrottle said! Woot!

Maybe not it's own role playing game, but a Frostgrave sourcebook that fleshes out the city and world would be great. I could see a no crunch book with pure fluff to use with any system. I would buy it just for the read.

Have a look at Scavenge Skirmish Survive for great ideas...

I would highly suggest reading "Tales from the Frozen City". It's not exactly an all-fluff book, but it does flesh out a few ideas that makes Felstad/FrostGrave more alive.

@bishop +1
I've already wrote up some additional rules for a post apocalyptic frostgrave without having to change anything from the original version, just make guns available for a price and keep everything else the same.
Once I have access to a computer I'm going to write up my ideas over on the post apocalyptic tales forum. Keep an eye open for it

Then that is NOT like Dominion... where you assemble a deck and don't use it.
Star Realms would be a better 'deck builder' where you use your deck against your opponent.
I don't like the open drafting mechanic of these games - prefer hidden information. But I like me some cards over dice any day. :D

What If: There was simply a source book with photos (No Rules) showcasing the Background, Setting and the miniatures used in different ways?
Like...
Set up for use in Fantasy Battles
Used at PC's in a Dungeon Crawl

I like the idea of a fluff book with lots of art... I'm also thinking in a card based tavern brawl game and a construct arena game that might be with miniatures (that can be added as alternative constructs) or maybe could also work as a card based game. But imagine a customizable plastic kit where you can build one large construct, 2 medium and 4 small ones as your arena team, to battle your opponent in 30-45 minutes with minimum set up or maybe a small 45cm x 45cm board so it can be easily transported with minimum hassle.

I could see Pathfinder working as the RPG version of Adventures in Felstad, and it wouldn't be hard to do a treatment for Frostgrave using 'Age of Sigmar'. All one would need to do would be to factor out some of the spells.

I think the crunchy rules of Pathfinder would be a disservice to the rules lite origins of Frostgrave. But I could see something like Fantasy Age or Savage Worlds. Or maybe even one of the retro clones of old school Dungeons and Dragons.
