Title: The Beast in the Woods: Fistful of Lead Tales of Horror
Post by: BaronVonJ on January 18, 2019, 02:45:40 PM
Thanks to the diligence of ace reporter Buzz Brewster of the Daily World News, we able to report on the strange goings on outside the mansion of Billionaire Karl Kensington.
Late on the night of January 17th strange lights were seen in the woods of Kensington Manor. The same mansion where only weeks ago the three heiresses to the Kensington Kandy fortune died in a mysterious fire that all but destroyed the mansion, and devastated the Mr Kensington himself.

Nice writeup on the blog. I do like that cover for the Tales of Horror supplement, it's a corker.

I am looking forward to this.
I have seen bits, the game set in medieval times & this one, that interest me.
I hope it can be used for Victorians as well, as I took advantage of
Westwind's recent sale to purchase several packets.

You won't be disappointed. ;)

These Victorian AARs were a play tests of the rules:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=108031.0

And this one shows how versatile they are with a completely different period setting:

There also maybe some new figures coming along shortly that you will be interested in that are very compatible with the above. :D

Nice, sign me up for a copy for pick up at Salute.  Are the rules an all-in-one package or is a copy of fistful of Lead required too?
Title: Re: The Beast in the Woods: Fistful of Lead Tales of Horror
Post by: BaronVonJ on January 19, 2019, 01:55:50 PM
A copy of the Fistful of Lead core rules (releasing simultaneously) will be required. Once you have those, all the following publications will just be supplements for different periods or genres.

Post by: Elk101 on January 19, 2019, 02:45:39 PM
And new genre cards for each supplement?

Thanks Malamute, the Victorian game seems to to as much fun as all your other FFofL ones.
Having introduced the school club to FFofL (& Horse & Musket, & Galactic Heroes) the
pupils are having a great time. At present they are starting to gather their own
Napoleonic 'teams'.

We love these rules. They are perfect for a games evening, and so versatile across all eras and genres. We have even played a drugs cartel game set in the 1980s with semi automatics and grenades!

The Gothic supplement has all the necessary components to enable you to create a Vampire Lord with his coven of fledgling Vampires around him and Gypsy thralls up against Stalwart gentlemen and learned professors armed with stakes, crosses, garlic etc. All the classic Hammer Horror ingredients are included along with Werewolves, Frankenstein type constructs, demon summoning etc. You won't be disappointed! :)
